CWC T20 GENERAL SERVICE WATCH
In 1980, the M.O.D. released a tender specification for the first quartz watch issued to all branches of the British forces. While the 70s tonneau shape case was specified, the early Swiss quartz movements couldn't fit this case and so the G10 "Fat Boy" was born.
Now, modern Swiss movements and manufacturing bring you the "Lost Boy", the watch that should have been made but never was... until now!
The Defence Standard for the "Watch, Wrist, Electronic, General Service" was dated the 29th of February 1980, a leap year day. Forty years to the day, it is making its debut. The T20 designation refers to the Tonneau case released 2020.

Customer Reviews
Fantastic looking watch, very light on the wrist. Super fast delivery, ordered in the morning and it came the next day.
Really pleased with service and watch. Looks great and light so as you don't know you are wearing it. Hopefully it will give me many years of service
Purchased this watch for my son before deployment, it looks great, and hopefully it'll serve him well.
Great present well received
This electric watch is to replace an automatic Navigator bought over 20 years ago, it winds but not enough.
I like this one very much, but I have put a leather strap on [one of yours] to replace the military one
The clear and very readable face is ideal for my fading eyesight..
