- It’s never “just a watch”- UK Special Boat Service (SBS) operator wearing an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean. Very cool.
- Secret Service Tudor HAWKEYE Pelagos LHD in the skies preparing for the inauguration.
- Former Blackwater CEO/Founder Erik Prince is back in the news, reportedly assisting with offensive operations against gangs in Haiti and Ecuador. When visiting these countries, his Blackwater Breitling Emergency is on his wrist.
- Wearing a two-tone Rolex “Bluesy” Submariner during a training op is wild, and I am here for it. U.S. Army Green Berets assigned to 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne).
- US Army 1st Special Forces Group supporting President Trump’s visit to Malaysia earlier this week, Tudor Black Bay Steel on the wrist, a watch that was discontinued in 2022 and rarely seen in the wild. Very cool/ally.
- “When I left CIA, I wanted one thing, to be a YouTuber” -W.O.E. 100k subscribers. Very cool. Thank you.
- Army SF in Syria wearing Seiko SKX007. Anonymous submission from the community, very Ally.
- French GIGN operator wearing an Omega Seamaster unit watch for the elite French Mil/Law Enforcement tasked with security for Olympics: GIGN - RAID - BRI. We have posted the caseback before, which is the Olympic rings and the insignia of each unit.
- “Know the time without seeing you have 1,249 unanswered emails.” -Timex This has to be the best watch ad ever made, I hope the suit that came up with it got a cookie.
- OG SEAL recruiting poster featuring an issued Seiko 6309-7049 on the wrist of this Frogman. We have written extensively about Seiko in general and the 6309 in particular. Seiko is the "Toyota of Watches" and has made some of the greatest tool watches.
- Rest in Peace Val Kilmer - Pictured here wearing a Rolex Pepsi GMT as Iceman in Top Gun.
- SEAL Team Six Assaulter wearing what I assess with medium to high confidence is a Black Tudor Pelagos FXD, likely a unit watch for Gold Squadron, which means it is a 2 liner with a gold "Pelagos" on the dial and the squadron insignia on the caseback. Photo Credit: Photo Mech
- Replying to @watchesofespionIn official DOD photos of a 7th Special Forces Group training exercise, the sole analog watch has been redacted. Interestingly, the digital tool watches are not redacted.
