I bought it last year—I just had to have a watch with “US Government” on the dial.

Military Issued Timepiece Thread
Some of the coolest watches to have ever been made were watches commissioned by governments for military purposes. If I am correct, below is one of the last “mechanical” timepieces to be issued to a military before quartz watches unfortanately started to become commonplace. This Tutima was issued to the West German Bundeswehr in the 1980’s before the wall came down. If you would, please share your Issued timepieces here.
Ok, let's go.... What I had or have...
Jaeger Lecoultre.
Lemania:
Longines:
Heuer:
Hamilton:
Benrus:
Breitling:
Blancpain:
Omega:
Tudor and Rolex:

Great collection you have
My only one, which is regularly worn in action.
Solo, so hands off the controls to take the photo!

Yes, I need to find a nice CK 2777, which, as you know, is not that easy. As well as some others... [nt]

Thank you, Nico!
Somehow I always forget that Jaeger is among the brands who supplied watches to the military. For whom were they for?
How didn't it come to me? :) No, not for the moment, I am waiting to find mine, you know, the one you know it is THE one. ;) [nt]

Great Tutima! It's younger bro says Hi!
Not technically "issued" by the military...but pretty close!
Cheers,
Tim
This one is still in the GSA schedule...

Thank you for your incredible contribution.
I love your Lemania monopusher and the CWC. I hope to own one one day
