Rugged blacked out analog watches?
Bremont credit to @c3duardo
Im looking for a rugged sporty analog watch preferably blacked out but can have accents and would love for it to be a Gmt but not essential! Any suggestions? Sub 500$ range!
Photos are similar but out of my budget for this watch. Any help appreciated!

Some of those are close, maybe save for one more week, go less days without store bought coffee, bring lunch?
I'm a HUGE Elliot Brown fan.
Far as military, unit issued watches go, don't think you'll find one as affordable as the Holton Pro.
Stirling Timepieces also make good stuff.
Don't have one yet.
Also check out Canister watches.
Glycine Combat Sub comes to mind:
EB and Stirling are from the UK.
Canister from CA.
Winfield is US based.
Here's some Winfield's:

That holton looks great I’ll definitely consider!

I recommend them. I've spoken with the owner, and he seems like a genuine watch nerd.
We actually met through work, I was inspecting a section that worked for him at 1 Royal Canadian Horse Artillery. I was there to brief him on the inspection and noticed the Canister Watches poster he had on his wall. I got to nerd out on a prototype he was wearing, and showed off my DS30.

I meant to ask you how if you'd heard of him.
I'm def considering one of his watches.
More than anything, I like to support mil types who happen to be watch guys! 👌🏻

Here it is in person.
Might be one of the few watches as tough as a g shock, that isn't digital.

It was an unexpected encounter, but a good experience.
Check out the Farr and Swit SeaPlane Midnight Landing. New it’s a little over budget but could probably find a discount on one
