Help please!? Cyma Navigator from ‘55?

Hi Guys,

Im new to this forum and have been recommended by the dutch watch forum to ask my question here.
So here goes a small introduction:

I’ve been interested in British Military watches for a few months now and came across a nice watch online. It’s supposed to be a Cyma Navigator if i look at the caseback saying: 6B\346. And its supposed to be from 1955... Too my knowlegde watches from 55 didn’t look this modern. See picture below:

For the last few days if been doing some research and couldn't find any information regarding this watch. In my opinion it’s a fake or at least a watch put together from different watches.

So I hope you guys can tell me more about this watch. Or have some information regarding

RUN.....wash your hands, and your eyes....and your memory....

Hahaha thanks, I know enough now

You did the right thing to ask. Excellent advice from size11s.

If you are at the beginning, maybe start with a CWC G10 quartz watch from the 80s/90s/00s. Popular, wearable military watches with less risk.

Thanks for your advice Billy!
I will check the link you send.

This Cyma really looks like its been put together from differenr from watches. The strange thing is that it does seem too have a Cyma caliber... It looks like a Case from CWC/Hamilton navigator with a Cyma Dail and caliber. See picture below.

Im wondering what you guys think.

Last month I bought my first BMW a G10 from 85 :) A very nice medium fatboy which I really enjoy wearing.
I was looking too add a much older piece to to my collection but it seems this Cyma watch isn’t the watch Im looking for.

Good choice - CWC G10

Here’s a thread with interesting information on each year of production.

If you are looking for something older, and more expensive, look out for a Smiths W10 or Hamilton 6B from the 1960s (both real beauties), Hamilton or CWC tonneau cased watch from the 1970s (currently popular, but I’m not a fan), or something like a Cyma or Record WWW from 1945. If no luck, have a look at Timefactors’ current re-edition of the Smiths W10.

The Smiths military in black dial is now sold out at TimeFactors. I would also suggest the CWC Mellor-72 mechanical, unfortunately it is sold out for now over at their web site.
