A proper piece of Australian military history. This Longines 6B/158 was issued to the Royal Australian Air Force, with the classic broad arrow and RAAF engravings to the caseback.

 

Clean, highly legible military dial with full Arabic numerals, railroad minute track and blued steel hands. The red 12 marker is a great detail seen on some issued examples, designed for quick orientation. Honest wear throughout, exactly how you want to see one of these.

 

Powered by a manual wind Longines movement, built for reliability and precision during service use. These were navigation tools first and foremost, not dress watches.

 

Case remains strong with clear engravings:
RAAF
6B/158
Broad arrow

A scarce and very collectible Australian-issued military watch, and far less commonly seen than their British counterparts.
