Here's my 'issued' line-up -

The heuer Bund - but in 'Sternzeit Reguliert' form - sidereal time for artillery observers -

The lemania South African Airforce issue from the early eighties -

A pair of ZUZ issued watches, the first EZM1 and its successor, the Tutima Commando II with bezel -

And the 1970's Benrus Type 1 Class A US divers watch -

Wow! Missed this thread! Fantastic watches, really like that collection Mike! And that Bund Sternzeit, wow!

Here's my Heuer Bund:

Image

I am trying to trade it for a Heuer RNoAF (Royal Norwegian Air Force), but the guy, although willing to sell, is stalling. But I will be persistent. :)

The RNoAF-watch was issued to Norwegian F-104 Starfighter pilots in the early seventies. These pilots were connected to the 334 sqn, today flying helicopters. My dad was a 334 sqn radar technician, although earlier when they flew F-86 Sabres. Here's the bund with a squadron patch:

Image

As you understand, the watch besides that patch needs to be a RNoAF and not a Bund, although identical. :) Another picture:
