This is War Watch Mk1, a Billabong Surftime, 38 mm with a 20mm lug width. I purchased this in 1994 while still at HMAS Cerberus, which is the main RAN training establishment. It originally had a Velcro strap, which made it easy to take off and put on the Anti-Flash clothing when we would go to Action stations. Anti-flash protective equipment consists of hoods and gloves designed to shield personnel from the flash and heat of explosions, such as those from shell fire. This watch was eventually replaced with the Mk2 in 2013, after I grew tired of receiving shocks from it when reaching down to the back of the equipment I maintained. It is also why it is scratched up so much. The bezel is still functional, though it does require a little more oomph than it used to, and was perfect for timing between defect reports when at action stations.

All black Casino Night outfit and wore the Vincero Karios dress watch! Nice black leather band.

ITs Friday, I grabbed the Erebus Ascent 41 Blue MoP, it is so amazing, such depth and clarity in the blue.

Back home and grabbed the Erebus Ascent 41 Blue MOP Such an amazing a vibrant dial and terrific lume on this piece. It’s so easy to take photos that look gorgeous.

My WOTD was a Seiko tank I bought in 2023, it's my only dress watch currently, and I love this watch. I paired it with a nice mid night blue suit today.
