    Sewills Army Time Quartz watch

    I have one of these in 40mm made of titanium. I understand that Eddie owns the mfg rights to Sewill. Does it qualify as a BMW or am I in the wrong section?
    It's a nice watch, I was thinking of moving it on but I'll probably keep it as I've got some Natos on the way now.
    Anyone else got one?

    Interesting!

    Don't suppose you have a link to the Sewills Carmania page from Timefactors? I know they all disappeared to an 'historic' location, but I can't for the life of me - find it.

    Cheers!

    Not issued for sure. Have the Battle of Britain Quartz which I acquired from ebay with the original Sewills box and strap; since fitted a replacement strap.

    Replaced its battery in June 2020, I believe only its second battery change since new.

    Very nice watch and not often seen.

    That's the one I should have as I was in the RAF for a bit.
    If you were in the Army we should swap lol.
    I will post a pic of mine when the strap arrives.

    Harry, if you had a career in the Royal Air Force then why not purchase a real military watch that was issued to the RAF, ie, something with 6B / 6BB on the case back.

    Just saying.

    That could be something for the future but this Sewills was just a sneaky impulse purchase with my xmas money. But I've quite taken to it.

    No, sorry.

    I did have an Ark Royal model back in the day though.

    I thought I would try it on all the Natos I got from Mark B plus a Buffalo hide ABP and my spare 93250/455B bracelet.
    Can't decide which it looks best on tbh











    What do the panel think?
