Smokey Vintage HMT Janata

For more than 50 years, HMT made this classic hand-wound watch in Bangalore India.  The state-owned watchmaker closed its doors about a year ago, but it has only raised the appeal of these watches to collectors and enthusiasts.  This HMT Janata (perhaps their most well-known model) is sporting a Smoke NATO®-style strap from Barton Watch Bands.
