My first sub-collection - issued British Military watches
I feel like a proper collector now I have a sub collection in my collection! A whole box of (ok five) British military watches. One mechanical Hamilton, and four various quartz references from CWC and Seiko/Pulsar! Three W10/G10 field watches and two chronographs.
They date from 1976, 1984, 1990, 1999 and 2018!
Some observations:
The seiko RAF gen 1 chrono is super nice - and suits the smaller wristed gentleman like myself
The Pulsar G10 - despite being worth less than £100 - has a great case shape, lug width, awesome dial, and a more robust glass crystal - grab one before they get trendy!
The Hamilton is the best of the lot, lovely winding action and I adore the broad arrow on the dial.
Now to buy some more NATOs.
Fairly new to watch collecting. Super fast collecting journey! I've had a bit of everything, small gold pretty watches, large rugged watches, vintage British field watches. From Casio to Patek and eve...
What a collection 👌
This is fantastic and something I am very keen to start collecting myself.
Love the Seiko chrono🔥
Beautiful!! Love this!
Great post. Never knew about the G10, I'll have to pick one up!
Awesome

Sweet squad of Field/Mil black dials!.🤩😍🍻
That’s an awesome sub-collection with some great history behind them 💪 the Seiko looks great. Just need to pick up some military divers next to complete the set 😜
Love the collection. All gems.
Is the cwc a dirty dozen?
Is the cwc a dirty dozen?
No it’s a lot newer than that.. the dirty dozen were issued in WW2 - the oldest of these watches are from 1976..
Nice to see the old G10. #crownandbuckle for some excellent quality straps or #barkandjack
That Pulsar Chrono is rad!
That Pulsar Chrono is rad!
Isn’t it? And so much watch for the money (about £400 for an issued one!)
That said it’s a little big for my small wrists - whereas the 1984 seiko is 👨🍳💋
That’s a worth while collection one of the best field watches out there.
