One from a couple of weeks back of the Newmark 6bb. There's one on eBay at the moment if anyone is tempted.
I flip flop between these 2. Today it happens to be the Timor Heritage Field.
2500 were made back in the communist era

Sold all my military watches - WWWs, ATPs, GTSPs a while ago - the fun was in the hunting, not so much in having them sit in a box unworn. This is the only one left, apart from a Hamilton RAF issue chronograph. I had it serviced last year and wear it from time to time - 36mm is a good size for my taste. The case is in exceptionally nice condition, with only minimal brassing from cuff-rubbing.
I have just taken this out the safe and given it a wind.
Pulsar Gen-1 Chronograph.

I am wearing my tiny little Hamilton MIL-W-46374D dated June 1988
I bought this NOS in its original box years ago
Gets very little wear as it’s so small at 33mm
Work from home watch today:

It’s a standard case back on theses as there were designed to be repairable
They were the last decent mechanical watch issued to the US army IMO
They get a bit of stick for having ‘made in china’ printed inside the case back but they are a good little watch that can still be found for not much money
is there anything called the military dive watch
and these two look more likely to be qualified

This weather makes me feel like I’m at sea.
Sort of
Well it says military on the dial...
Not sure if the originals were issued but I think they were designed to be issued.
I agree. I do wonder if maybe CWC only issued a limited run to keep ensure they sell them all and then maybe make more should they feel the demand is still there? They are, after all, a business trying to make money and don't want to be left with a surplus of stock.
I believe there are a fair few serving/ex military on the forum - it would be interesting to know their thoughts especially in relation to the 'nostalgia' aspect of wearing something similar to what they would have had issued. Or is the case that they are not remotely interested in such things?
CWC seem to have done several of these 'restricted sale' watches that are exclusively for serving or former members and yes, it would be interesting to see what their level of enthusisum for these things are. At the end of the day the watch is a standard G10 that has had appropriate badges applied. I suspect there is a world of difference between wearing something genuine with great pride and wanting to buy a manufactured souvenir.
When I compare that with my issued 1980 Navigator there is no comparision.

Not issued but you can see the family resemblance
A hint of lume in the Sunday summer gloom!

Possibly
I have still not established if this is Norwegian Navy Issued.
