Featuring a 36.5mm brushed stainless steel case engineered to strict military specifications, it sits robustly on the wrist with straight, purposeful lugs and fixed spring bars made for utilitarian NATO straps. Its rugged profile leads to a lug-to-lug length of 48mm and a case thickness of 12.5mm, offering a substantial and commanding presence on your wrist. On the right side, a substantial crown allows for easy winding, even while wearing pilot gloves. The smooth steel bezel holds a crystal above a matte black dial, redesigned by the MoD with highly visible white Arabic numerals and an outer railroad minute track. Sword-style hands are filled with luminous material, complemented by a sweeping central second hand for split-second legibility. At noon, we find the iconic Omega motif, sitting just above a small \"T\" in a circle. At 6 o'clock, the prominent \"Fat Arrow\" (or broad arrow pheon), which denotes British Crown property. On the reverse, the heavy screw-down case back is deeply engraved with the military store numbers 6B\/542, the individual issue number 10884\/53, and the NATO stock code 6645 101000. Inside is the manually wound Omega Cal. 283, a direct descendant of the legendary 30T2 family, housing 17 jewels and featuring a shock-resisting mechanism explicitly demanded by the military for extreme operational environments. It comes paired with an 18mm aftermarket elasticated NATO strap.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb id=\"docs-internal-guid-cb276d81-7fff-3b34-2752-92f717d696f5\"\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57158433603964,"sku":"6B\/542 - 2777-1 SC","price":3950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/0771\/3366\/files\/1_2101bef7-62e5-40bd-b791-7fa2755e87cd.jpg?v=1783676505","url":"https:\/\/kibblewatches.co.uk\/products\/1953-omega-6b-542-raf-issued-fat-arrow-53-military-36-5mm","provider":"KibbleWatches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
