In 1980, the M.O.D. released a tender specification for the first quartz general service watch issued to all branches of the British forces. While the 70s tonneau shape case was specified, the early Swiss quartz movements couldn't fit this case and so the G10 "Fat Boy" was born.
Now, modern Swiss movements and manufacturing bring you the "Lost Boy", the watch that should have been made but never was... until now!
The Defence Standard for the "Watch, Wrist, Electronic, General Service" was dated the 29th of February 1980, a leap year. Forty years to the day, it makes its debut. The T20 designation refers to the Tonneau case released 2020.
Engraving is available for this watch, however we cannot accept returns of any items that have been personalised.
