Seiko SSK001
An Army infantryman in Hawaii, and a Marine machinegunner out of Camp Lejeune before that. About to drive the squad back from a marksmanship range aboard MCBH, one of the last training events in uniform at the end of seven years in the Marine and Army infantry. The Seiko SSK001 was the very first watch in the collection after discovering watches seriously. In the submitter's words, it "allows me to keep the time for where my family is when I'm away." Next is the transition to civilian life, and, in the submitter's words, claiming the title of "veteran", lol. If you have a wrist shot from somewhere that matters, submit at the link in bio. Tempus Est Potentia.

Seiko SSK001
The SSK001 was one of the first three references when Seiko brought a GMT into the Seiko 5 Sports line in 2022, a black dial and black and grey 24 hour bezel in the SKX-style case. Seiko built the caliber 4R34 by taking the day wheel out of its workhorse 4R36 and putting in the gearing for a 24 hour hand.
Seiko lists it at 42.5mm across, 13.6mm thick and 46mm lug to lug, with 22mm lugs, a Hardlex crystal, a rotating 24 hour bezel, a screw-down see-through caseback and 100 metres of water resistance. The movement winds itself, can be hand wound, hacks, and runs about 41 hours.
