The movement, in plain words

WMT lists the Miyota 8215 or NH35 for the Royal Navy Aged Edition. It is an automatic, so wearing it winds it.

On your wrist39.5 mm across, 14.8 mm thick, on a wrist your size

How it sits on your wrist

Set your wrist circumference to compare the 39.5 mm case with a schematic wrist. The ellipse estimates wrist width and shape. It cannot predict your fit.

17.0 cm6.7 in around

This wrist model is about 56 mm across. The case spans 70% of that estimated width. Lug to lug is unknown, so no lug extent is drawn.

Wrap a strip of paper round your wrist just below the bone, mark where it meets and measure it.

Written reviews. Each covers one watch, so read them as things to check rather than a verdict.

From reviews1 report

  • Reviewer says the stock WMT-branded NATO was unusually short and forgettable, and that they usually swapped to a CWC NATO. They report weak lume and question the 100m claim.
