I wear different watches at different times, for example I don't wear my Rolex or gold Ducks Unlimited when doing yard work and I don't wear an OD green military timepiece with a suit. I have a number of watches and just like my knives I rotate them quite often.
This Black Micronta I bought when I entered the military in 81, it has survived half a dozen bands is is still the most accurate watch I have ever owned...back then they cost $9.95. Shown with a unnamed damacus folder.
My next beater/yard work watch is a simple military timepiece shown here with a pair of Desert Storm EK knives. The round shown is a 57mm that was made by my grandmother during WWII.
Staying with the theme this is the watch I wear most often, it is a Seiko Automatic Military shown with a tool of my ex-profession, a Camillus Demo knife.
Moving into dressier watches this is a DU Banquet Gold cased watch with leather band. This is my basic wear a suit watch and what better than a Black Lip Pearl Congress pattern to go with it.
Moving to stainless steel the first is a Zeno Automatic, just a good basic analog watch. Shown here with a Hattori Fighter and a $1.00 token from Biggs Air Field.
Next Stainless is a vintage Omega Geneve that accompanied my father on many mission over Viet Nam. You see it here with a Helle Fire modern Scandie.
And last we have the watch I was given when I matriculated from St John's Military Academy. a Rolex Oyster Date and to go with this classy watch a classy knife...a Loveless Design City Knife from Lone Wolf.

I love automatic mechanical watches. They give a visual representation of the flow of time.
