Seiko Gen 2 RAF Chronograph

I previously owned a Seiko (generation) Gen 1 RAF chronograph from the early/mid 80s, but this is the first time I've ever owned a Gen 2 version.  It's been said that both the Gen 1 and 2 watches were issued to RAF helicopter pilots.  The Gen 2s came into service in the 90s after the Gen 1s were phased out.  The Gen 1s had a different movement (15-jeweled high-end Seiko quartz).  These Gen 2s have a no-jewel Seiko quartz movt.

There's a more rare non-luminous dial and hands version of the Gen 2 chronograph that has been linked to RN nuclear submarine crews.  The lack of (radioactive) luminous supposedly does not interfere with the radiation detectors on the boat.  These non-luminous versions lack the circle-P on the dial and have non-framed hands.  (The circle-P denotes Promethium-47 as the radioactive isotope used in the luminous material of the dial and hands).

Finally, there's even a civilian version of the Gen 2 (without issue marks).

All in all this is a very clean piece with some serious wabi in the form of some strap burn.  Gotta luv it!

Mine is from 1997 as you can see from the MOD issue engraving.

1973 Seiko 6105-8110 Diver

I love these vintage Seiko divers.  They're better than the divers' watches that they currently make IMHO.  Clean, sharp, classic styling and extremely comfortable to wear.  I sold my first one a couple of years ago.  I won't make the same mistake twice.
