Formerly one of the main manufacturers for the British MOD.  CWC currently produce an interesting variety of models and recently have remade a number of their historical models. The watch is in the range which are very popular are the G10 battery Hatch and also their classic black PVD SBS watch. 

The watches are solid and robust and definitely can be recommended if you are looking for a classic style British military watch.

Marathon offer a variety of military watches. The range runs from  standard infantry watches right up to high spec divers and SAR watches. 

I am very keen on these watches myself having owned two of the SAR models.

One of my colleagues has one of the Chronographs which unfortunately no longer seem to be made but it is a very desirable watch and likely a few are floating around secondhand.

Marathon Watch Company 

Based on the vast number of models and diverse  range of specifications available  I would say it is highly likely that MWC is the largest dedicated military watch manufacturer out there. The watches are very solidly built but also keenly priced.  The range is so extensive it covers almost every area of the market, there is everything from budget models to GTLS, 100ATM water resistant divers watches, chronographs, titanium cased models and classic remakes of watches such as the U.S A-11/A-17 and GG-W-113.

Nite watches are very much focused on GTLS tritium illumination which gives first rate nightime performance, they are direct competitors to Traser. The quality of NITE is excellent in my experience, there are dedicated models targeted at military or law enforcement applications such as the MX10 above. 

Keep in mind that the GTLS tubes used by the various manufacturers all come from a company called Mb Mictotec so performance of the actual tubes will not vary from brand to brand.

Mb Microtec who own Traser are the leading manufacturer of Tritium Vials (GTLS) they also make some Military Spec watches such as the P66. Not all of the watches they make our military pattern watches but several of them are and many are suitable for military or tactical applications.

From a quality aspect I've never heard anything negative about this brand. One of the historical models the P6500 is still very much sought-after now.

Military industries don't seem to push their watches particularly to the public but there is a substantial range of watches which appear from time to time ranging from W10 to G10 and divers watches. They also seem to be a dealer in surplus watches of other brands. I think that watches are just a part of their business because they manufacture a lot of military kit.

Certainly pricewise they are very keen.

Tutima were the maker of one of the more recent chronographs issued to the Luftwaffe which is pictured above they still make a lot of very high-performance pilots watches such as the Grand Flieger. I suspect however they are still making watches for the Luftwaffe and German military and we  seen some fairly recent ones that look quite new. A friend of mine is a pilot who flies for Lufthansa and  recently bought one of their Grand Flieger and rates very highly.

 Glycine Watch SA is based in Bienne, Switzerland. It is well known for its classic Airman watches which were first launched in 1953, the company make a range of GMT watches featuring 24-hour analog dials and rotating bezels, one of the models is pictured above, these watches are popular with both military and commercial pilots. It should also be noted that this brand made significant numbers of watches for both Germany, the U.S and UK in World War II.
