This bespoke edition of the Gibson – Steel has been created exclusively for members of Australian Military Intelligence 1 Coy. Each piece features an engraved caseback and highlighted "1" within the date wheel. The dial carries the clean, utilitarian aesthetic of the standard Gibson. Watches will be produced and assembled once the order window closes on 31st March 2026, with delivery estimated at 3–5 months from that point. Please note: due to the use of a screw-down caseback, engraving orientation cannot be guaranteed.
