This one is one of them. I already heard about the brand but no informations, sadly.
I didn't know that some armies used it.
Cool find, Bill. But please, don't find too many, as I will never end my vintage diving watch topic.
Best,

Thank you for sharing this one! I never saw a Swedish connection to this one before. The text "LÅNE UR 22"="Borrowing watch 22" indicates that it was not a personal watch but one only for loan. Sweden used to have a special branch within the "Kustjägarna"...
Thanks for your help.

At least we now know it is Swedish. Looking forward to hearing more. Bill
