# Governator-Inspired Timepieces The Schwarzenegger Military Tank Watch is Elegant and Robust By Andrew Robertson | Published 2012-05-14 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schwarzenegger-military-tank-watch References: [uncrate](http://uncrate.com/stuff/schwarzenegger-military-tank-watch/) & [gilt](http://www.gilt.com/sale/men/gilt-man-finds-arnold-watch) Like the man who inspired its design, the Schwarzenegger Military Tank Watch is rugged, strong and ridden with testosterone. The aesthetics of the watch recall the gauges and dials found inside the M47 tank, the same tank that Schwarzenegger operated while in the Austrian military during the '60s. The watch features a rounded face within a square body, creating a fine balance between subtlety and robust. The numbers are divided into the classical quarterly arrangement with over-sized hands indicating what time it is. Available in a black or green face, both models feature precise Japanese movement and a beautiful leather band. The proceeds from the timepiece go towards charities that support after school programs for kids in need. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Fashion for Men](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashionformen) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Rugged Military-inspired Timepieces:** Opportunity to create durable watches with a design aesthetic inspired by military equipment and vehicles. - **Square-faced Watches with Subtle Elegance:** Opportunity to design watches with a square body and rounded face that balance subtlety and robustness. - **Charitable Timepieces for a Cause:** Opportunity to create watches where proceeds support specific charities or causes. ### Who This Affects Most - **Timepiece Manufacturing:** Opportunity for watch manufacturers to develop and produce rugged military-inspired timepieces. - **Fashion Accessories:** Opportunity for fashion accessory brands to offer square-faced watches with a subtle and elegant design. - **Charitable Organizations:** Opportunity for charitable organizations to collaborate with watch manufacturers and create timepieces that fund after-school programs for kids in need. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Angular Automobile-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/benly-design-s3000-cyber-watch.md) - [Airplane Gauge Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dango-specops-watch.md) - [Accessible Mechanical Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classivo-43.md) - [Honorary Automotive Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marathon-x-jeep-watch.md) - [Stealthy Durable Elegant Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gmcb2100z.md) - [Golden Automatic Self-Winding Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gold-skeleton-watch.md) - [Film-Inspired Limited Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/argylle.md) - [Samurai Armor-Inspired Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gshock-mrg.md) - [Durable Luxury Watches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durable-luxury-watches-the-new-full-metal-gshock-models-are-rugged-but-eleg.md)
