Durrant SteelStirling Durrant Steel
A British Army vehicle mechanic attached to The Parachute Regiment, wearing a Stirling Durrant in steel.
Durrant BlackStirling Timepieces- Durrant-Black
A US Air Force Raven with the 911 SFS, photographed in the aircraft during Operation Southern Shield, somewhere in South America. Ravens provide fly away security for aircraft going into austere locations, the airfields where the runway is real but everything around it is a question mark. His motto, his words: Global Protection Anywhere. On the wrist over the OCPs, a Stirling Durrant in black on a red and black strap, a British commando-inspired watch on American security forces duty.
Upham Arctic WhiteStirling Timepieces Upham Arctic White
A Special Agent with a special investigative unit working violent crime reduction in a metro area, photographed holding down the quick reaction force for an operation that put state and multiple federal law enforcement units on the same problem. His team's specialty is undercover rescue: when an undercover officer's day goes wrong, these are the agents trained to go get him, with close quarters battle, firearms, PIT and pin training behind them. The watch is a Stirling Upham in Arctic White, a GMT on a steel bracelet, and in a truck built around staying unremarkable it might be the brightest thing in the cab.
Burton blackStirling Burton black
An artillery soldier with the 166th Regiment, 2nd Battalion Field Artillery, out in the field all day on the gun line training the next generation of cannoneers. The watch is a Stirling Burton in black, a slim quartz field watch from a British, soldier-founded brand, the kind that disappears under a sleeve and just keeps time. Artillery is patience and repetition, the same drills run until they are automatic. A watch that does one thing well fits the work.
DurrantStirling Timepieces Durrant
A Marine rifleman at Marine Corps Base Hawaii, kitted up and heading out to the field. The watch is a Stirling Durrant in black, an automatic diver from a British brand founded by a former soldier and tested alongside serving troops. An 0311's job is the oldest one in the Corps, and the watch on his wrist is built to the same plain standard: do the work, take the abuse, keep running.
Durrant BlackStirling Timepieces, model - Durrant Black
A Florida SWAT operator who also works a gang unit, kit staged for a Saturday afternoon callout in plain clothes. The plate carrier, the helmet, the blood type spelled out on the placard where the medics can find it fast, and a blacked out Stirling Durrant on the wrist holding it all together. Saturdays are for everyone else. For some people they are just another day the phone might ring.
Durrant (Unit)Stirling Durrant (Unit watch)
A patrol officer and a group of his fellow cops designed their own unit watch, then made it real. The dial carries their department star, and the caseback is engraved with the words service, pride, dedication. A unit watch is a quiet kind of monument, something a group of people who do hard work together can wear and recognize on one another. That is about as tool watch as it gets.
