If you would prefer our team to undertake research on your behalf, then please submit a research enquiry. As we do not have the resources to participate in unfunded research, we ask for a 20 non-refundable donation at the time you submit your enquiry. Please note that we cannot guarantee that our research efforts will find the answers to your enquiry. For example, we do not hold individual service records in our collections unless these have been donated to the museum. For men who served after WW1 we have very little or no information. If you contact the archivist they can let you know what information we are likely to be able to help you find before you decide whether to proceed with your research request. We have also provided some general information about the records held in our collections further down this page.
Service records for soldiers and officers whose service ended after 1920 are held by either the Ministry of Defence or The National Archives. We have very limited information on individual soldiers from this time onwards. Contact our archivist for more information.
We have a dedicated space for visiting researchers who wish to access our collections on-site. To use this there is a charge of 12 for a half day, or, 24 for a full day. Researchers may visit Monday to Friday, although weekend appointments may be possible. Visits must be booked in advance, with details provided about the records required. To make a booking please contact the archivist at rese...@theblackwatch.co.uk

Once upon a time, watches used to be carried around in pockets and were used solely to tell the time. With technological advancement, it became possible for watches to be worn around the wrist. And then came the many, many options, from analog and digital to chronograph and dress watches. Among these choices, one of the mass favourites is still a black watch.
Not only are black watches incredibly versatile and can be teamed with multiple outfits, but their sleek look also make them a great staple for every wardrobe. On Myntra, you will be able to choose from a wide assortment of black watches for men and women from your favourite brands for all your fashion needs.
This style of a black watch is extremely popular. Earlier, it was preferred by only men, but in the past decade, the style has caught up with women, too. You can either go for the gunmetal type, which has a matte finish, or a glossier finish type of black watch. The kind of straps you want, leather or metal, is entirely up to you!
If you are looking for watches that will go perfectly with your dressy outfits, black chain watches are your best bet. They are often embellished with contrasting metal and crystals for an alluring look, making them ideal for special occasions. Their versatile design makes them a delight to be paired with formal as well as casual outfits.
