Rolex Submariners are possibly the most copied and certainly one of the most faked watches in the world, dozens of companies make similar watches, at a whole range of prices and quality of finish, in both quartz and mechanical versions. Because of this the information about the watches got lost in the abundance, it wasn’t unusual to get 200 posts a day that had nothing to do with watches, let alone the Eaglemoss Watches.

This superb collection brings you military-style wristwatches featuring the design elements most desired by land, sea and air forces from the early 1900s to the mid-1980s. Each watch was tailored to the needs of a particular branch of the world’s armed forces during different decades. Many of the watches’ details later became common features on civilian timepieces. blue painted dial with white printed minute scale at outer edge. Hours indicated with embossed green hour markers, a triangle at 12, rectangles at 3-6-9, circles at other marks. All marks have good luminous effect.

Please Note, For authenticity I removed the centre second hand from this watch, Real 1940s MMs didn’t have one. Sword shaped hours and minutes hand and thin straight seconds hand.Green lume on hours and minutes hands. NB: It’s my opinion that the hour hand is over long on this face, and perhaps the hour scale too small, ideally the hand wouldn’t reach past the scale. This watch is is a representation of a 1940 Panerai 6152, Marina Militare: It was produced for the Italian Navy, and would have had a Rolex 618 movement. Not many survive, actual numbers aren’t known for sure but its probably less than 100. If you see an ‘original' for sale anywhere but a very expensive auction house you can be certain its a fake.

Asymmetric 40.4mm steel, brushed finish. 42mm including crown guard, 47.3mm lug to lug, 11mm deep. 33.3mm interior aperture. I dunno what the thing is with the long stem, I suspect the original it alludes to maybe had a flexible stem, it attracted quite a lot of attention with my friends I saw out and about today and was the first time I hadn't worn my Amphibia since I got it lol All come with a magazine, they've all been in the presentation case so have no individual boxes anymore. None have been worn to my knowledge & all have the clip on the open crown so battery life hasn't been wasted.

Are there any Eaglemoss military watch lovers out there? If so what do you like about their watches?
