A Rolex WWI military watch is one of the small wristwatches Hans Wilsdorf's young company sold to British officers during the First World War, when demand for a watch that could be read at a glance, worn on the wrist rather than carried in a pocket, turned "trench watches" from a novelty into standard field kit. Cases ran silver or nickel, typically 25-33 mm, with white or off-white enamel dials and luminous hands for reading the time in low light, wire lugs carrying a leather strap in place of a pocket-watch chain.
