Far more than just a functional fashion accessory, military-inspired watches are for those who live their life on the edge. These timepieces need to represent the epitome of utility and resilience, all while delivering an aesthetic that conveys class and represents a lifestyle. High-end tactical watches deliver exactly what the adventurer, survivalist or military member is looking for; don’t settle for “good enough”, when you can have the best.
To best determine what kind of tactile timepiece suits your lifestyle, there is a couple of categories military-inspired watches typically fall into:
- Pilot Watch
- Marine Watch
Pilot watches are often modeled off airplane control panels and gauges and typically feature highly readable dials. They are also resistant to changes in atmospheric pressure. With a powerful, dynamic, and technical style, Breitling timepieces deliver on innovative, multifunction chronography and state-of-the-art Swiss technology. Distinguished by a user-friendly control system, Breitling pilot watches marry lifestyle needs and deliver unsurpassed functionality.
The watch that unlocks the deep helps those who live the marine lifestyle by providing an underwater survival tool. The first watch that was ever waterproof was manufactured in 1926 by Rolex. Fast forward decades later and the Submariner is waterproof to a depth of 1000 feet. Evolving technically and aesthetically over the years, the unidirectional rotatable bezel allows divers to monitor their diving time and their decompression stops- keeping those trips beneath the waves safe and enjoyable.
The legacy some horological entities have with the military is long-reaching. Working alongside the Italian navy in the 1930s, Panerai developed several high-strength diving timepieces to test out new technology to support the Italian navy. From there, some of horology’s most coveted pieces come from the house of Panerai and its legacy stemming from the work with the Italian navy. Both the Luminor and the Radiomir have a history of excellence and the technical prowess within these timepieces is so precise, that it is the difference between victory and second place for those who capitalize on the tremendous capabilities of these timepieces.
