Recently I did a poll http://www.malaysiawatchforum.com/index.php?topic=17123.0 where I asked forum members to pick their favourite genre for collecting watches. Out of 44 respondents, not one chose "Military Watches" as a primary focus. This is interesting as the result is unlike other surveys done in other forums.

It then struck me that the choice for military watches is limited in Malaysia. Hence the lack of interest.

Is this a fair assessment? Any comments, views or opinions?


Hi @meoramri   bro.

I keep searching the definition of military watch. Then, I found this standard MIL-PRF-46374G. This is US military standard.

I think the military watch nowadays must at least get this certification.

Surprisingly Doxa orange dial diver watch got this standard certified.

The watch will be readable in total darkness after stored in the dark for 8 hours, can normal superluminova do that ??

I thought only tritium can achieve it
