In 1980, the M.O.D. released a tender specification for the first quartz watch issued to all branches of the British forces. While the 70s tonneau shape case was specified, the early Swiss quartz movements couldn't fit this case and so the G10 "Fat Boy" was born.
Now, modern Swiss movements and manufacturing bring you the "Lost Boy", the watch that should have been made but never was... until now!
The Defence Standard for the "Watch, Wrist, Electronic, General Service" was dated the 29th of February 1980, a leap year day. Forty years to the day, it is making its debut. The T20 designation refers to the Tonneau case released 2020.
Engraving is available for this watch, however we cannot accept returns of any items that have been personalised.
Fantastic watch
I like my CWC T20 General Service Quartz Watch. It looks awesome coupled with a vintage grey strap with a broad arrow or, when you're going outdoors, a light green strap with a broad arrow and NSN number. Great for carefree and/or irregular use.
Couldn't be happier with this watch! I've wanted a solid little no-frills field watch for a while now, and for infrequent wear quartz makes sense. (Having said that, I've barely taken it off since receiving it!) The only problem is that I now have an obsession with buying 18mm nato straps to show this watch off in different lights 😅
I ordered this watch from Japan, and it arrived in about a week, which was incredibly fast.When I opened the box, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the hands were already set to Japan time. This attention to detail was very impressive.The watch is crafted with great care, and I honestly prefer its design and comfort over any other luxury watch I’ve worn.I will cherish it and use it as my main watch from now on.
