A17 models from Waltham and Elgin. I’ve got a few others including a bulova. They are the youngest military watches I have, from Korean War. I just can’t decide which. 😉

Hamilton bureau of ships canteen dive watch issued to u s navy underwater demolition teams (udt) in WWII. Udt teams became what we know as SEAL teams.
I like my military watches to have been to war(or at least appear as if they have. )

Great watches. Who would have used those and when? I assume British military.

What straps are you using to cater for fixed bars?

Of course you can use standard NATO or Zulu, but I don't prefer those for most watches. I have no affiliation with either seller, but here are a couple of my favorites, and there are many others available from various sources:

As seen here...

These use tabs, or can be tabbed and glued. I wear mine often and prefer to tab and glue - more secure but will have to cut off for a strap change.
