Description from the seller
Introduction
A distinctive Alfred Dunhill Ref. 8034 wristwatch featuring a brushed stainless-steel case, a highly legible black dial, a burgundy-toned inner chapter ring, and a small-seconds display at 6 o’clock.
The angular case and instrument-inspired dial give the watch a refined yet sporting character. Its slim profile of approximately 8.6 mm also makes it comfortable for everyday wear.
Historical & Collector Value
Alfred Dunhill is a historic British luxury house known for combining understated elegance with designs influenced by motoring and gentlemen’s accessories.
Reference 8034 is sometimes described in the secondary market as an RPM or driver-style model, reflecting its bold Arabic numerals, prominent minute track and functional, dashboard-inspired appearance.
Available market records do not establish one definitive production year. Chrono24 reference data lists 1995, while another recorded example is described as approximately 2000. It is therefore reasonable to regard this watch as a circa 1990s model, although the exact year has not been independently confirmed.
The uncommon combination of a cushion-shaped case, small seconds, black dial and deep burgundy chapter ring gives this reference a strong period identity. It is an appealing piece for collectors seeking a less frequently encountered Swiss-made Dunhill watch.

Condition
The watch is in pre-owned vintage condition.
The stainless-steel case, bezel and case back show scratches, rubbing and other normal signs of age and previous use. The black dial remains clear and attractive, with a distinctive burgundy-toned chapter ring around its outer edge.
The black leather strap shows some signs of use, including light creasing and wear around the adjustment holes. However, it remains fully usable and can be worn without issue.
The Dunhill-signed buckle also shows minor signs of use. Please examine all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the condition description.
The crown operates correctly, the hands can be adjusted normally, and the small-seconds display is functioning properly.
The case back is marked “WR 30M”; however, as this is a vintage watch, its current water resistance has not been tested or guaranteed. Please avoid contact with water.
