The Prize

Inspired by the watches supplied to the war office by Vertex, The Bronze 75 is a truly stunning bronze case version of the highly sought after Vertex M100, and has been created to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. Limited to 150 pieces, this specific piece is number 75.

The case back of The Bronze 75 is an exact replica of the Cal 59 WWW of 1944 and 1945, complete with the Broad arrow and WWW markings, the military serial number and edition number.

“The bronze case represents a fitting tribute to our Military service during World War 2, but of more importance The Bronze 75 will not simply tell you the passage of time but also show you, as the patina of the case slowly changes to take on a richer hue as the next 75 years pass”, adds Don Cochrane, Chairman of Vertex Watches.

The Cause

For nearly 100 years we have been fighting on behalf of our Armed Forces community. We believe that no-one who has served to protect our freedom should be disadvantaged because of the sacrifices they have made. Despite their sacrifices on behalf of us all, there are those with nowhere to turn, and over 90,000 people turn to us for help every year.

We provide lifelong support to serving and ex-serving personnel and their families. People need help for many different, often complex reasons. They may be facing employment issues or financial difficulties, or may need help related to housing, homelessness or living independently. They may face mental and physical health challenges, need care in later life or need help building local community connections. Whatever issues people face, our staff and volunteers are trained so they can direct enquiries to the most appropriate Legion service. And, if we can’t help, our vast network of partner charities and organisations means we will know someone who can.

As the Custodian of Remembrance, we remember those who lost their lives on active service in all conflicts; from the beginning of the First World War right up to the present day, as well as all those who have served and their families. Every year we organise the Poppy Appeal, and we lead the nation in commemorating and honouring those who have served and sacrificed.
