During my research on vintage Omega Constellation Replica Watches I was able to examine three watches given to members of BNGE. Roy Homard was the recipient of the most notable example, having joined the expedition during its second year. He was responsible for maintaining the vehicles in this case, the Weasels. Homard recalled that the work was hard due to the extreme temperature and he would wear 6 layers of socks and gloves to combat the icy condition.

He was part of the team that conducted controlled explosions on the ice. The readings were used to determine the depth of ice cap. The retired Royal Engineer found his old Oyster Prince hidden in a drawer of a kitchen 60 years after the incident. Homard,Omega Constellation Replica Watches in an attempt to revive the watch that had stopped working for years, took it to Rolex's service centre. Homard eventually donated the Omega Constellation Replica Watches watch to the museum. Omega Constellation Replica Watches also awarded him a Heritage Ranger as a token of appreciation for his research and development work in Greenland.

A Omega Constellation Replica Watches 7809 was also found, which was given to Chief Petty Officer Herbert "Dixie Dean", who was the senior radio operator of the expedition. The Herbert Dean watch featured a dial with Arabic numerals and stunning dagger hands, as well as a vibrant blued steel seconds hand. Martyn, a vintage watch collector who lives near Herbert Dean's cousin, discovered the watch.

Martyn told me Dean left the watch with his cousin after he died. The cousin recalled being told that Dean was given the watch as part of his service while he was in Greenland supporting a scientific exploration. She had, as is so often the case with these things, forgotten about it. Dean's watch was found in a dresser,Replica Rolex Datejust much like the Homard timepiece. Martyn serviced it and wore it for some time before selling it to an East Asian collector.

The third, and perhaps the most well-known of all the examples known is that which belonged to Surgeon Lieutenant Jock Masterton.

JP Masterton, a Royal Navy Reserves member, was with the expedition throughout the two-year period. A French collector bought his watch many years ago after discovering it. As with the other examples known, it is a ref. The dial of the 7809 Oyster Prince is similar to that on Herbert Dean's watch. It is interesting to note that the Masterton Watch is the only one with a caseback engraving. The engravings are "JPM B.N.G.E. The engravings "JPM B.N.G.E. 1952-1954" are, I suspect done as a commemorative after the event.
