A Tribute To The Classic Military Watches That Have Served

Blancpain's Fifty Fathoms was born in 1953. The "Fat" is a unit for measuring the depth of water. It is named after the water resistance reaches 50 inches. The diving scale ring on the watch can observe the dive time and oxygen storage, and the good anti-magnetic property ensures that it cannot trigger the magnetic mine in the water or is affected by the strong magnetic field of the seabed. The excellent performance was quickly recognized by the naval forces of France, Israel, the United States, Germany and other countries, and they purchased equipment one after another. At the same time, this watch is also selected by professionals in the field of ocean exploration, including the famous French Navy GESR (Underwater Search Force).

In 1948, IWC designed and manufactured the famous "Mark 11" flying watch for the Royal Air Force. The name "Mark" originated from the British Royal Air Force's equipment naming rules. At that time, all equipment in the army was named after "Mark" plus numbers. Soon after World War II, the British Royal Air Force abandoned the Roman alphabet as the numbering method. Instead, Arabic numerals are used as a means of counting. This legendary watch has served in the military for up to 30 years, and its outstanding and stable performance has been tested by time. Since then, IWC has continued this naming method, and the Mark series watches launched thereafter are even more familiar to us.

At the end of the 19th century, Panerai had become the designated supplier of the Italian Navy. In 1938, Panerai produced a Radiomir watch for the Italian Navy that could withstand extreme environments. Its luminous dial can clearly show the time under dark water. In the same year, the Radiomir watch officially became a special product of the Italian Navy, and everyone in the sea commandos wore a Panerai watch.

For many years, the French Navy, the United States Navy and other important military organizations around the world have equipped their troops with Tudor Submariner watches. The most famous Tudor diving watch is model 9401, which combines a blue dial and outer ring, so it is called "Tudor Blue". The case back of these watches is also engraved with the letters MN and the year of launch, and features two designs: the "snowflake" and the triangle indicator after it. This model has been produced and delivered to the French Navy until the 1980s.

Bell & Ross is the designated timepiece partner of the French Acrobatic Patrol (French Acrobatic Patrol) and provides watches for the French Acrobatic Patrol. The "French Patrol" aerobatic team was formally established in February 1964. The airplanes of the air show team are painted in the same red, white, and blue colors as the French national flag. The airplanes often leave smoke trails of the three colors in the air when they perform air demonstrations in the air. Bell & Ross INSTRUMENTS watch is inspired by the shape of the aircraft cockpit instrument panel clock.
