Nose art refers to pictures or words painted on the nose of military aircraft (fighters and bombers). It is basically graffiti on the plane.

However, nose art, a form of personal expression, can sometimes be seen in the military of countries around the world, from informal and personal to semi-official.

Nose art was common from World War I to the Gulf War in 1991. Some depict feelings for loved ones separated by the war, others express anger directly, and others are humorous and sarcastic.

Many of the drawings are provocative and sexy. They are not just graffiti, but rather sum up feelings about the war.

It expresses the loneliness and irony of the young people taking off, and depicts the airplane as their companion, entrusting their life to their own goddess of victory. It was necessary to boost morale.

Highly visible, the dial features white indexes and a black dial, and on the left side is an energetic Popeye™ that looks ready to take off.

Is Popeye™ eating spinach to save Olive? Or is he standing up to Brutus™? Either way, he's depicted standing up to something.

On the right side of the dial is the US Navy's common catchphrase, "hooyah!"

The U.S. Navy Special Forces UDT (Underwater Demolition Team) was formed during World War II. In 1942, the U.S. Navy and Army emphasized the need for amphibious attacks, reflecting on the tactics of World War I, and jointly established a training center in Florida for more elite tactical personnel.

It was established as a unit to scout the landing beaches, identify obstacles and defenses, and detonate and remove them to allow landing forces to land. It is also the predecessor of the United States Navy SEALs, the special forces unit that the US military is proud of around the world today.

A watch worn by soldiers on the battlefield.

Pocket watches were originally used, but towards the end of the 19th century, a German soldier began wearing one on his wrist, making it more convenient, and pocket watches became popular on the battlefield.

Pocket watches had the disadvantage of requiring one hand to be occupied when wearing them, so the idea of ​​wearing it on the wrist was simple yet revolutionary.

There are records that show that around 1880, German Emperor Wilhelm I had wristwatches manufactured for the German Navy.

There are now many different designs of wristwatches, but their roots lie in military watches (watches worn by soldiers).

Today, it is loved by military fans around the world not only for its history, but also for its rugged, minimalist, masculine design and easy-to-use functionality.

MRMW (Montrelloi Military Watch)

Montreloy is a watch manufacturing company with roots in Muramatsu Watch Manufacturing, one of Japan's earliest watch manufacturers.

With the theme of "watches that will be loved in any era," we offer KEYFORD and the military series MRMW.

Watch boxes issued on the battlefield are disposable, so they are not overly decorated. (No soldier would want to store a watch box in a dangerous place where their life could be lost at any time.)

For this reason, military watches are packed in minimalist boxes that can be disposed of immediately.

The Montreloy Military Watch also comes in a simple box.
