This is perhaps a better photograph of some of the pieces in Miltons’ special selection. It was taken at the end of 2013, since when a number of significant pieces have joined those shown here.

This well-used Submariner 5513 from the 1960s is especially nice for retaining its original gilt-text dial, rather than having one of the later white-text versions. Note the depth rating, presented in metres before feet on the early examples like this. The 5513 was launched in 1962 and remained in production with little change for 30 years. Roger Moore would wear one in his first outing as 007 in “Live and Let Die,” but for real-life professionals including the UK’s pioneering Royal Navy Clearance Divers the watch would prove a genuine, reliable workhorse.
The Orange Hand Explorer II model 1655 is something of an oddity, but its rarity has made it collectible in modern times. This typically well-worn example appears to retain its original bezel; note that the seconds hand, unlike the other example shown on this page, is the later all-white version with high visibility dot. The model has at times been called the “Steve McQueen” as it was rumoured that the famous actor had one, but this has never been substantiated and the apparent misnomer is heard less and less these days. For what it is worth, the star appears to have had a Submariner 5512 and perhaps a TAG chronograph.
