Other: There is a lot to love about this watch, especially if you have a deep appreciation for military history like we do. Justin's grandfather served proudly in World War II, so this one really speaks to him personally - What a fantastic conversation piece! Designed in accordance with military specification MIL-W-6433A, it's the best example that we've ever had the privilege of offering. And it should come as no surprise that it looks best under the cuff of a green military jacket.
