I'm afraid not, it was standard on the early subs and remained an optional extra for some time after.

That's too easy, when Biggles rejoined the RAF and was subsequently given command of 666 squadron immediately prior to the Battle of Britain he was issued with a navigators wristwatch. The standard...
