Military
Military timepieces have played an extremely important part in the history of horology. Some of the greatest inventions were inspired by the essential innovations that came as a consequence of warfare.
Innovation aside, military watches and clocks hold a great deal of their value in their historic significance. These timepieces have played key roles in battles and wars - saving lives and writing history to such an extent their popularity has overflowed into everyday use. Some of the leading brand’s most popular lines are the sports model editions of pieces designed and invented for the military such as the Rolex Submariner, Omega Speedmaster and Breitling Navitimer.
