During the 50s up until the 80s Rolex has many dials with logo insignas for specific purposes like the Arab markets, the logo dials were special order dials and had specific details and design traits and were gifts for thei best customers. The UAE Armed Forces dials were gifted to Government officials for the United Arab Emirates.

The 15053 Quickset Date model is a classic in the Rolex repertoire, and this example is fresh to market from its original owner and looks farm fresh, with a stunning deep burnish champagne dial and applied gold hour batons, and the UAE Armed Forces logo (Eagle) displayed above the 6-hour position, the colour combination was specifically for the middle eastern Rolex market.

The watch comes with its original Oyster bracelet with signed Rolex logo clasp. It is bi metal with 18k links and 18k gold bezel.
