My Son n Law grads from California Highway Patrol (state police agency) and want to present him a good, solid , rugged all black work watch with a Milatary Time option as all Radio Correspondence is based on 24 hr time... Rubber Band probably preferable. I tend toward the Dress Watch, any good
Feedback appreciated.... Thanks.

Budget? Mechanical or quartz?

I think you may struggle to find something that fits in terms of tending towards the dressy, but also being black, rugged and no-nonsense. Those two tend to be somewhat mutually exclusive.

If you are thinking of Breitling, then there are a multitude of Blacksteel models out there that would satisfy the black and rubber-strap requirements, but none with a GMT function (yet!) and none of them could be described as remotely dressy.

Member Thomas just picked up a Hamilton Khaki in Titanium on Kevlar strap. Very sharp.

my best suggestion is really a Gshock. the only thing is that its not the most expensive piece that you could get someone. i have seen a TON of military and law enforcement people sporting them.

It is on my wrist as I type. Very comfortable and light, and would be great for someone as active as a Highway Patrolman. I hear G-Shocks are a great option as well, but I have never been able to get into digital watches.

I would be hard pressed to wear a Ling, even one as robust as say the Seawolf in a patrol capacity, but in reality i am sure it could take anything you throw at it.

As of right now. With Breitling your best bet is the Chronospace limited edition. Comes in all black steel and not only military time but also 2 additional time zones. Even has a light up display. With the options of a rubber band and black steel mesh!

I inadvertently mislead you Driver8.... My comment about 'dressy' was about my own tastes, so I was
