May 17May 17 #1 A World War Two era Buren Grand prix watch re issued during the Rhodesian Bush War. Rhodesian army issue strap with cover. these watches where issued to certain soldiers who where required to preform specific tasks, Signals pers., squad commanders and 2nd in charge. They where not on general issue to all troops. They were Class A Stores so had to be returned periodically and if you were posted to another unit or left the service you would return it to the Q Store. Due to these limitations most Officers/soldiers purchased there own watches.
