Casio illuminator, Seiko, and Tudor
A SWAT call for a barricaded subject who had shot up his own brother's trailer. Three watches, same mission. He was on a 40mm less lethal launcher with a $25 Casio Illuminator on his wrist. The dog handler wore a Seiko. One of the sniper team wore a Tudor. In his words, "Vastly different price points." They launched gas into the house until the structure was, as he put it, basically uninhabitable. The subject couldn't take it anymore and surrendered. "Less lethal saves lives." If you have a wrist shot from somewhere that matters, submit at the link in bio. Tempus Est Potentia.

Casio Illuminator, Seiko and Tudor
Illuminator is the word Casio prints on the faces of its electroluminescent backlit digitals. Casio says the EL panel arrived in the 1990s as the successor to the tiny bulb that used to light its displays, a thin sheet that lights the whole screen evenly, and that the A168 of 1995 was among the first to carry it.
Seiko traces its start to 1881, when Kintaro Hattori opened a watch and jewelry shop in Tokyo, and it built Japan's first diver's watch in 1965. Tudor began as a trademark registered in Geneva in February 1926 on behalf of Hans Wilsdorf, the founder of Rolex. Wilsdorf took over the name outright in 1936 and founded Montres TUDOR S.A. on 6 March 1946, with Rolex guaranteeing its technical standards.
