Grovana Muammar Gaddafi Libya Military Presentation Watch Swiss Two Tone 31mm

About this watch

A rare Libyan presentation watch made by Grovana of Switzerland. The champagne dial carries a colour portrait of Muammar Gaddafi and the Arabic dedication "إهداء إدارة التوجيه الثوري بالشعب المسلح" ("A gift from the Revolutionary Guidance Directorate of the Armed People"). Watches like this were made in small numbers as official gifts to members of the Libyan armed forces, and very few appear on the market today. A genuine piece of Libyan history and a strong collector's item.
