The one in the center is the '53 Fat Arrow.  The other two just landed from Wilts yesterday.

On the left is a '45 WWW and on the right is my new '42 British Fleet Air Arm.  The Fat arrow is a cal 283 while the WWW and HS8 (Fleet Air Arm) are both 30T2s.

Really love the militaries.... Thanks for sharing.

So the HS8 doesn't uses tritium at all?

Surprising. Nevertheless, it looks good! Blued hands too. Very nice. Congrats Chris on a wonderful piece.

The 6b's date to the late '30s when lume still hadn't become entirely universal.  As well, the 6b's were intended as navigators' instruments, and like the deck chronometers blued hands (and light dials) were more traditional in that application.

Later in 1956 the MoD upgraded many of these by re-caseing them in waterproof Dennision screwback cases, replacing the dial with a black lumnious dial, and adding lume paint to the same hands.

Wow, what a nice trio!

My favourite is the one in the middle...

You lucky Guy!

Best, and thanks for sharing!
