Another one fetched from the bowels of the watch box and yet again:
"Hang on ! .. it's stopped !!!! ...... but i only changed the battery a few months ago? ...... Oh, hang on, let me think when it actually was"
I'm sure that is a song we are all familiar with.
Fortunately i had a 371 battery, so in it went with a smear of silicone grease on the o ring and all is well again.
FYI, its the retail version of the last (?) gen RAF issue pilots watch, circa 2013. View attachment 71098
Thanks for that, it's an interesting looking read and I will make time to read it thoroughly later.FWIW, Pulsar pulled out of the UK in Spring 2020.
Some history:
100 Years of British Military Watches - Part 3 - anOrdain
Cold war to the present day 1980 was a significant year for British military watches. For the first time in a quarter of a millennium, a British military issued watch was not powered by a mechanical wind up movement, but an entirely new electronic movement commonly known as Quartz.

...i have come to find the chrono dials are actuallly too small to be of any practical use and I have been keeping an eye out for a similar looking simple field type watch without any chrono complications
I see you’ve done a TGV I tried that configuration, but liked the original bracelet more. My NDC strap lives on a Vostok watch that I made. The flightmaster is a very capable watch and very accurate to boot.A rare appearance of my Flightmaster I thought it was out of production but the odd new stock keeps appearing. Up there with the Citizen E watches for dial complexity.

Have exactly the same G-shock on my wrist almost every day of the week; the original and still the best in my opinion. Was gifted my original one when they first came out; must have been around 1984 at a guess. That one eventually packed up (but I still have it), so purchased another, probably around 10-12 years ago. The battery now needs replacing as the display goes if I try to illuminate, which I rarely need to do.Today i put a new battery in my classic G-shock DW-5600, as it was starting to go.
Re-lubed the o-ring and put a new Panasonic 2016 in, so its good for another 5 or 10 years
These 2 cover all my watch needs nowadays really - working and "Best"

The Paganis look to be very decent quality, for the pricePagani Design's photocopy of a Rolex Daytona.
