For sale we have a quality mid-sized 29mm wristwatch dating to the 1940s by West End Watch Co. It has a clear and well laid out dial, designed for legibility with lumed Arabic numerals and 1/5 second graduations, with sweep central seconds. The hands have the original radium lume and are beautifully thermally blued. It is a watch with military use in mind and encapsulated within its DNA.The model is the ‘Sowar’ Prima, which has a Freres Borgel, Tauberts & Fils full Stainless-Steel case. They were one of Geneva’s finest case makers, designing quality dirt and moisture resistant cases. Inside is a quality FHF calibre with central second hand and Incabloc shockproofing. It has been recently serviced. West End Watch Company were based in Geneve and St Imier in Switzerland. The company had a major presence in Bombay and Calcutta in India. The watches were designed to suit and aimed at British colonial officials and troops. In WW1 a large contingent of British and Indian soldiers were sent from Bombay to the Persian Gulf, to reach Mesopotamia, and this force received some West End Watch Co watches. By 1914 West End was manufacturing watches marked C.S. for the Civil Service in India and Indian Military that were under British control. These watches were also produced in the 1940s by other brands, including; Omega, Tissot, Londines, Leonidas and Favre-Leuba. This is not a civil service example, but I have had the exact model with CSI signing before. In Bombay, West End were agents for Longines watches, meaning that West End watches can sometimes be found with Longines movements. The Sowar model name was registered in 1938. It translates to ‘The Cavalry man’ and was registered in honour of Sir Thomas Edward Lawrence (of Arabic), who apparently, along with his men, wore West End Watches. In 1934, Societe des Montres West End SA was attributed with the first use of Incabloc shock protection, which was accompanied with the use of the word ‘Prima’ on the dials.
