-> B. HISTORY of the Model: The Rolex Oyster Lipton is a vintage, mid-20th-century Rolex watch produced primarily for the Canadian and Commonwealth markets, especially popular with servicemen during WWII, known for its durable Oyster case, simple design, 24-hour military dials, and reliable Caliber 59 movement, representing a unique piece of Rolex's history for military personnel needing tough, accurate timepieces. Key Aspects of the Rolex Oyster Lipton: Market & Era: Made for the Canadian market in the 1930s and 1940s, often sold in PX military stores to soldiers heading overseas. Design: Features the iconic Rolex waterproof Oyster case with a screw-down crown, often with a smaller size (around 29-31mm) for durability, and sometimes a unique "Turtle" or "Bubbleback" style case. Dial Features: Many had distinctive black dials with luminous Arabic numerals, pencil hands, and a 24-hour (military time) inner ring, sometimes with "Oyster Lipton" or "Oyster Watch Co." markings. Movement: Typically powered by the manual-wind Rolex Caliber 59 (a modified FF30) with 15 or 17 jewels, known for its robustness. Significance: These watches were essential tools for soldiers, offering Rolex quality in a robust, less conspicuous package, making them historically significant and sought-after by collectors today. Why "Lipton"? While the Lipton brand is famous for tea (Sir Thomas Lipton), the watch name "Lipton" appears to be a specific model designation used by Rolex, possibly related to its Canadian distribution or as a unique marker for these military-focused pieces, though its exact origin within the Rolex naming convention isn't fully detailed in the search results.
