Eaglemoss Military Watches Collection.

The French Navy started to use Tudor brand divers watches for Naval Divers and Marine Commandos in the 1960s.
Tudor is a more affordable sub brand of Rolex, they use Swiss ETA or Valjoux movements but have similar styling.
The specification of the watches used changed over time to a Blue Dial/Blue Bezel configuration from the 80s.

Of course what we have here is a very similar watch to the issue 3 British SBS watch, which represents a'Rolex MilSub'.
Side by side, you get a polished case rather than brushed, but the dial is printed rather than embossed.
The Sand PU/canvas strap on the 'Tudor' version feels to be much better quality than the Blue Nylon.

Quite a large proportion of the collection so far have been 'Diver' style watches. Here are 8, including the Special edition.
