Awarder Watches with Trident and Service Emblems

Awarder Watch: Rugged Case and Ukrainian Symbols

Awarder is a Ukrainian maker of wristwatches that prints its own dials with national and service symbols. Most models are analog-digital watches in a shock-resistant case, with a trident or the emblem of the Armed Forces, the State Emergency Service (SESU), the police, the SBU or the Territorial Defense Forces on the dial. That is why Awarder watches are chosen by people who care not only about function but also about wearing the sign of their service on the wrist, as well as by those looking for a meaningful gift for a soldier, rescuer or police officer. General buying tips are on the tactical watches page, while here we cover the specifics of this particular brand.

Which Symbol to Choose

The most universal option is an Awarder watch with a trident: it suits anyone, regardless of branch of service. The trident comes in gold or silver. Gold contrasts more noticeably with a dark dial and a camouflage case, while silver looks more understated and draws less attention.

Choose a specific service emblem when you know exactly where the person serves. If you are buying a gift and are not sure, the trident is a safe choice.

Tactical Model or Classic Patriot 023

An Awarder tactical watch usually has an analog-digital display: the hands show the time at a glance, while an electronic module with a screen complements them. The case is designed to withstand impacts, so this kind of model suits field conditions, training and everyday wear with a uniform.

Patriot 023 is a different direction: a steel case, analog hands, a silver or silver-gold color and a coat of arms on the dial. It is a watch for dress uniform, the office or a formal gift, not for field outings, where a metal case is easily scratched.

What to Consider Before Buying

The backlight can be electroluminescent or LED. Electroluminescent lighting illuminates the display evenly, while LED gives spot lighting. Water resistance differs between models, so before swimming or working in water, check the rating in the specifications of the particular watch.

For the field, choose a matte black, olive or camouflage case — it does not reflect light. Model 036 has a built-in compass, and some versions of 005 come with a paracord strap that can be unraveled if needed.
