{"product_id":"as11122","title":"Jacques Bianchi French Military Issue","description":"\u003cp\u003eMilitary issued wristwatches are one of the coolest subsets of vintage timepiece collecting, if for no other reason that they were literally built to \u003cem\u003ekick ass\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile purchasing military-issued Rolexes and the like can require a second mortgage (or the sale of several vital organs), there are more affordable ways to enter into the realm of military watch ownership, such as with the Hamilton \u0026amp; Benrus Vietnam-era GI watches we so often curate for sale. But few military pieces top this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJacques Bianchi, a French brand, came on the scene to build capable dive watches for the French military in the 1980s and 1990s. This particular piece is one such military issued timepiece. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIssued in 11\/1994, this Jacques Bianchi features 300M of water resistance, overbuilt dive watch aesthetics, and robust construction. This piece was designed to be thrown against the wall and stay ticking-- befitting a military issue piece designed to withstand the most grueling of demands. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOwning a military watch is owning a piece of history, and this out of the box piece is incredible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J.
