Footnotes

The Military Seamaster 300 was manufactured for the British Forces under strict guidelines given by the Ministry of Defence. The official document includes the specifications of the solid bars for the attachment of a NATO style canvas strap, the bezel with register for the full 60, Tritium luminous paint applied to the hands and dial symbolised by a T in a circle on the latter and oversize hands for clear legibility.

The current example was originally issued to a naval rating in the late 1960s.
After his retirement from the navy he became a sector officer for the HM Coastguards he was responsible for over a 100 cliff rescues and recoveries at Beachy Head Eastbourne.
The watch was then sold to the current owner who served on Eastbourne Lifeboat for 15 years.
Only after its continuous service the true value of the watch was realised and kept in a safer environment.
