Citizen
Some watches mark the start of something. This one marked the end: a gift from his wife when he left the Army infantry, the kind of watch that closes one chapter and opens the next. It has been around the world since, including the Old Course at St Andrews. The piece that marks getting out tends to get worn the hardest.

Citizen Brycen
The Brycen is a Citizen chronograph styled after automotive gauges and racing dials. It runs on Eco-Drive, Citizen's light-powered movement that charges from any light source and never needs a battery. For a soldier transitioning out, a watch that asks for nothing but light is a fitting piece of kit: no maintenance, no upkeep, it just runs.
ETS
ETS, the end of a term of service, is the moment a soldier becomes a veteran. The submitter's wife marked it with this watch, and it has carried him around the world since, including rounds at St Andrews and Carnoustie in Scotland. The infantry does not hand out much ceremony for getting out, so the watch on the wrist often becomes the marker that the milestone happened at all.
