Who's a fan of authentic military watches?

I hate military watches...

You picked up the steeel one, too. Sooo envious. 😬

I love it, it's my most worn watch since it arrived. Marathon make amazing and genuine military watches.

Me too...

This makes me sad to say it, but this is the modern military watch:

I want the steel navigator 😎

Nooooo!

Not anywhere that has security...

Everyone just leaves their smart watch with their phone before going into a SCIF, but I would say easily 90% of service members I see wearing a watch are wearing some kind of smart watch. The remaining 10% will be mainly G Shocks and a very few wearing an analog watch.

Sure. If you want to be tracked 😅

Well your not wrong, but even you don't have a smart watch everyone is still walking around with a smart phone. Sadly, security is a thing of the past.

I only have one

CWC are my favourite military brand. Love their back story and their watches. RN Diver is my fav 💪

Fair, I see a lot as well.

That said, I also sea lot of more classic quartz analog watches. Might be environment though, I work in a HQ right now, so most people are older/more senior.

Here are my milspec watches (some of em). The Tudor Pelagos FXD Marine Nationale , Marathon Navigator (unissued) with a Marathon compass attached & the CWC RN diver (tritium dial frm 2000 -unissued) beside a Tag Heuer 1000 980.006 diver.

I have been wanting to get the compass attachment for my #marathon. Do you like it?

Looks great on that striped NATO!

This is a CWC reissue of the W10 they were producing and giving to British military personnel in 72 onwards. It’s an absolute beauty

I want one of these.

Well, it works ( points north correctly). I think the Marathon compass is the most compact one out there. The compass bezel and the markers on the dial is also lumed. Lasts quite a while too. I'd say its a good purchase and it will fit all watches w up to 22mm normal thickness strap

Yeah, baby! This is in my collection, too. And probably my all time favorite.

Not many of them left! I was lucky to get mine.

That Protrek has SEEN some things 😂

Aw yeah my peeps are here 😎😎😎. I've got a 1998 issued CWC G10, a Rotary (who made the OG british field watch) and ive got a Marathon MSAR 36mm quartz enroute.

I’ve been lucky to get a CWC from 1991, I wear it a lot.

There's also these from Prometheus Design Werx, and a few other small US survival types companies.

Pretty handy, and in my experience less likely to break off, YMMV or course..and they are a little bit pricier.

As a history nerd and enjoying military things, I do find such watches quite interesting.
