Usually the NATO items have special code to identify them, my inspiration comes from those code and from the military watches box.
Normally the General Purpose watches box are made in kraft cardboard, and I don't like to much this combination, because it a little be abused.
So, starting from this need, I have looking in my archive discovering an about twenty years old Tutima BUND Chronograph issued in the late 80's to a McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II pilot of the RECCE Airbase of Leck Germany, and provide to me with is original box and papers.
I have seen the box of this watch and I was flashed about the clean and simple graphic.
Starting from this point I have worked around the lettering mixing the USA issued General Purpose alignment and capital letter, with black and white colors and simple, clean design.
Finally I have bring a little of the red/orange print and use for some print and accents on the graphic of collection too.
This is the right Stock Number philosophy: starting from archives, and evolve to a new vision of graphic in military, utility and supply wear.
