1987 Gen. 1 British Military RAF Helicopter/Jet Pilot Chronograph with Broadarrow and Correct Military Issue Numbers 6645-99 7683056 From First Gulf War

This is a fine example of the first generation Seiko chronographs issued by the British Military to RAF fighter/helicopter pilots. The first RAF-issued Seiko chronograph ( Gen. 1 ) was procured from Seiko UK and issued primarily to Royal Air Force pilots and navigators from October 1984 until November 1990. According to documents I have received from Seiko, 11,307 pieces of this Gen. 1 model were supplied by Seiko to the British Armed Forces. This particular watch was issued in 1987 and therefore would have seen action in the First Gulf War of 1990 against Saddam Hussain forces in the deserts of Kuwait and Iraq. This watch has been serviced and is working perfectly in all functions with all chronograph functions returning smartly to zero after use.
