Tactical...Pocket Watch?

[Tekno_Cowboy]

I'm looking for an extra heavy duty open-face pocket watch. Anyone know who might make such a thing?

I'd try places supplying to the blind. I've seen what I think you are looking for at some time in the past. Stuff for the blind seems to be built to take a battering so this might do the trick.

Maybe this one?

Does it have to have hands that strobe and flash SOS to be tactical?

Ummm...I'm not being rude, but what is a blind guy going to do with a pocket watch?
"Excuse me, sir, could you look at my watch and tell me what time it is?"

Perhaps I just show my ignorance of how the blind live...

I know there are talking watches, are there braile watches? Do any of these come in pocket variety?


Edit: Found this for bling person's pocket watches, you have my humble apologies.

I'm glad you asked because it was bugging me too...I'm still not clear as to the reasoning though even after seeing the site you linked.

Sorry, my fault.

I thought, it could tell the time via acoustic signals like a Breitling Aerospace, but it has only an alarm function.

... are there braile watches?

Yes, there are. They also make pocket versions of them.

Why not just get a regular watch you like and put a strap like this on it?
Or perhaps one of these:
GaurdDog
Cabela's
Victorinox
Outdoor Adventures
Colibri

Actually, the Guard dog watches from Duluth trading above look pretty rugged.

I recommend the Victorinox watch. I've carried one for years with no problems. I work construction and it really takes a beating.

What I wouldn't give to have a GSAR tied to a chain mail bracelet.....
