The British government, concerned about dependence on foreign watch suppliers—something that had proven problematic during World War II—offered Smiths substantial contracts to encourage domestic watch production. However, for reasons unknown, the British Army ultimately chose not to move forward with the order. It wasn’t until the late 1960s that Smiths secured a military contract—this time for the W10 model.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThese watches were assigned the same 6B\/542 stores reference as the Omega navigators’ watch, suggesting they were likely issued to RAF pilots and navigators. This is the rarest Smiths British military watch, and arguably one of the rarest British military watches of all. Approximately 300 of these watches were made and issued to the RAF in 1954, 1955, and 1956—presumably as a test order. This would make sense for a trial run, as the inside of an aircraft cockpit presented a challenging environment for mechanical wristwatches, mainly due to the presence of electromagnetic fields. To combat this, the watches were equipped with an iron dial and a metal dust cover, which together created an effective Faraday cage to shield the movement from electromagnetic interference.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis particular Smiths was issued in 1955, as evidenced by its issue number on the case back.
