Apologies for the poor quality of this picture.

Movement : Omega 30T2SC. Silver dial, black numerals, blue steel hands. NATO style nylon strap.

Military Markings : War Department arrow. "HS8" (Hydrographic Service 8 - Fleet Air Arm Pilot's Issue)

Being a solid nickel case, makes this an early example of a FAA pilot's watch; in 1940 this type of case was replaced by a nickel-plated brass case as an economy measure.

Very nice original condition.

Minor marks to bezel. Original dial in excellent condition.

Overall length: 40 mm, width: 34 mm
