Other: There is a lot to love about this piece, especially if you have a strong appreciation for military history like we do. Notice the "Broad Arrow" insignia on the dial and caseback (indicates property of the British government). The circle "T" highlights the use of Tritium lume, which has aged gracefully to a beautiful yellow hue all around. The original "sword" hands are super cool, and the highly-legible matte black dial is exactly the style what you would expect to find on a military-issued watch. The solid stainless steel case with fixed lugs features the following military engravings on the back:
