Description: Allow me to elaborate further on the Buren Grand Prix from the legendary "Dirty Dozen" collection. These watches were specifically commissioned by the British Ministry of Defense during World War II, with 12 renowned watch companies chosen to supply military-grade timepieces for British soldiers. Among these, Buren ranks as the seventh, producing a total of 11,000 units. The Dirty Dozen collection is one of the most famous military watches, highly favored by collectors. In the 1940s, Buren was a reliable and preferred choice among the mid to high-quality tiers. The company focused on producing practical, environment-resistant watches suited for everyday life. While it didn’t compete directly with luxury brands like Rolex or Patek Philippe, Jaeger LeCoultre, Buren stood out for its classic designs and precise movements. Compared to other watches like Longines or Tissot, Buren’s timepieces had a distinctive appeal, thanks to their classic aesthetics and finely crafted movements. Their durable and functional timepieces, especially those in the Dirty Dozen collection, earned them a reputation as a trusted brand for robust and reliable watches.
