Watches to wear with your flight jackets...

[CombatWombat]

For my A2's I wear a bloody ancient Omega dress watch
( only watch I've got that isn't thick and "catchy" on the knits)
For everything else I wear either my marathon GSAR (swapped my slouch hat and beret with a Canuck) or Tracer H3 "blackout"....since I'm a massive fan of sapphire crystal watchfaces and trigalite markers

Figured what the heck, might apply…..I dont wear these personally, but one could. My three original WWII watches….Firstnis a mint 1944 A-11 hack watch. Second one part of a larger grouping from a WWII marine Corps pilot. Third, from a recent grouping worn by a WWII and Korean War navy Aviator. All made by Elgin.

They are all great finds but that WWII A-11 is stunning. What awesome condition it’s in. Nicely done …

Thanks B-Man!

Just picked this one up. It’s a Seiko Solar powered Chronograph. I liked the look and it has the added function of a survival compass built into the rotating inner bezel.
No more changing batteries anytime soon.

My trusty old Traser watch, think I got it in around 97, very comfy to wear and still
glows

Nice watches around here.
Actually I am actively looking for a Tituma "1941" chronograph. Do any of you have one for sale by any chance ?
@Bremspropeller , I guess you don't want to sell yours ?

Not a '41, but marked down!

Ahah ! ideally yes !
But I unfortunately don't have the budget for an original.
I'm looking for the homage chronograph made by Tutima in the late 1990's / early 2000's.

Still wearing a humble ex British army issue G10 complete with scratches and 'patina' although I have just treated it to a new NATO strap...

 

[blackrat2]

Nice watches the G10
Is the strap a particular unit or anything to you?

Not especially to me but believe it does have unit and club connections. Some reckon Sean Connery sported a nylon strap with similar colours nailed to a Rolex Submariner in Goldfinger but I don't have a dog in the race on that one.
