80 years of timekeeping.

This watch is 4 times my age and will probably outlive me. It’s tracked time throughout one of humanity’s darkest and most violent hours and now sits on my wrist whilst I drink a coffee on a sunny Saturday afternoon and keep an eye on my parking meter. I’m proud that I get to accompany it through a part of its journey.

One day soon I’ll replace the crystal as the existing one is quite scratched and has a couple of cracks.

A field watch on a leather nato is just a sublime combo, enjoy it and wear it in good health 🙏🏻

Thanks for your comment. I’m hoping next year I’ll have some spare cash to service the movement and replace the crystal (just about to take a year off work).

Looks great on the leather.

Thanks! I used to wear it on a fabric NATO but the leather just felt a bit more special.

Mine is currently on a khaki NATO.
