(VIDEO) My Watch: Collecting Seiko, Military, and Vintage Tool Watches with Jon Gaffney



If you?re a regular reader of Worn & Wound, Jon Gaffney (@JonGaffney) is no stranger. Jon is a long-standing contributor to the site, often field testing and covering watches that can take a knock or two. Jon?s written for numerous other publications as well, among them Gear Patrol, Valet Mag, Huckberry, ITS Tactical, and he?s currently the Director of Marketing and Sales for Iron & Air magazine.Today, Jon sits down with us in the second installment of My Watch, our series that looks at collectors and their watches. Jon leads an active life?whether he?s out ice swimming or touring the US while living out of a built-out sprinter van?and his watches reflect that lifestyle. His collection consists largely of military watches and tool watches inspired by military watches. And Jon’s not afraid to use them. Enjoy!

Hamilton GG-W-113
A mil-watch staple, the GG-W-133 was one of Jon?s first serious watch purchases. The GG-W-133 does not feature “H3” or the radioactive symbol on the dial, a detail specified because this watch was designed for pilots who wanted the cleanest possible dial. Though it doesn?t get too much wrist time these days (the watch is a bit small for Jon’s wrist), he has no plans to sell it.
