Some Military Chronographs with the same dial configuration, in black or white.
All along these years, I developed and fed a strong attraction for these military chronographs which share the same dial configuration, in white or black.
Sterile:
Tropical ( Not mine ).
These 2 others are not mines, sadly:
If you ever have some to share with this same dials, please feel free to share.
The brands? Hamilton, Lemania, Rodania, Omega, Breitling, CWC...
Here are some I could grab, or just take in pictures, or find in pictures.
Here we go:
-> Hamilton for the Royal Navy:
Mines:
Gilt:
Sterile:
Tropical ( Not mine ).
-> Lemania, for the Royal Navy:
A special one without lume for the nuclear Submarines:
These 2 others are not mines, sadly:
-> CWC offered a very close version:
Newmark and Precista had the same dial configuration and movement than the Hamilton.
-> Breitling, Sterile, for the Royal Canadian Air Force:
-> The Rodania Sibling, for the RCAF, too. Credit picture: Analog and Shift.
-> The Omega version, once again for the RCAF. Credit picture: Jacek.
If you ever have some to share with this same dials, please feel free to share.

Not vintage but reissue. 38mm champagne dial. Movement is a Sea-Gull based on Venus 175 design.
Not the same dial, with the luminous dots each 5 minutes, which are so characteristic. But a good looking chrono you have, here. [nt]

These are some truly spectacular chronographs, Nico!
I still need to get my act together and get my RCAF Monopusher Breitling finally fixed. Several watchmakers declined to take on the project, so still on the lookout.
What a great set of watches.
That Breitling sterile dial - so beautiful. Regards Kev.
Yes, one of my favorite, with the Creamy Lemania for the Royal Navy Submarines. [nt]

Great military watches …
I would like to add this one into the mix.
It’s a CWC Fleet Air Arm Pilots Cronograph. Issued to a Sea Harrier Pilot during the Fauklands War.
Try this little known fact …
Reduced lume used on dial, so that the cockpit environment was not comprised
Thanks for sharing this one I didn't know. The case is different, on this re edition. [nt]

Yes it’s slight different
when compared to the original side by side. However the most notable difference is the reissue has all polished case which is the major negative point. Still it is a faithful and worthy reissue effort I think. I can do some comparison photos when I have time.
CWC reissue and original comparison
As promised, some side by side shots for your reference. The chrome case is the reissue.
The vintage has the soul, the re issue is quite faithful. Thanks! [nt]
