What We Fancy

A true favorite of mine, the W10 is always my go-to when recommending a military watch. All military watches had three main requirements, to be durable, functional, and legible. At 35mm this piece may seem small to many, but don’t count it out. With these long lugs, it stretches the case out to 46mm making it wear more like 36/37 millimeters. This example dates to 1967 & is one of the best-conditioned examples I’ve come across.
