Arma Reforger (2022)

Arma Reforger cover art.

Bohemia Interactive's return to the Cold War island of Everon, released in 2022 as the first game on the studio's Enfusion engine and a bridge toward Arma 4. Set in 1989, it stages a US-Soviet conflict over the fictional Everon and Arland islands with the series' trademark military simulation depth, down to faction-authentic issued equipment: each side carries its own period wristwatch as a functional item.

Watches

Stocker & Yale 184A

US forces are issued the Stocker & Yale 184A as their functional wristwatch item. Bohemia Interactive designer Karel Mořický named the model in a 2024 retrospective of the studio's watches: "USA issues Stocker & Yale 184A, an older variant of the watch used in Arma 1 and 2. In real life it was discontinued because tritium in its night markings was found to be uncomfortably more radioactive than expected." A developer statement establishing the design source.

Vostok Komandirskie

Soviet Ground Forces are issued a rendering of the Vostok Komandirskie tank dial, red star and tank motif, date at 3, "17 КАМНЕЙ" and "ЗАКАЗ МО СССР" (ordered by the Ministry of Defense of the USSR) all faithful to the real watch, and Bohemia Interactive designer Karel Mořický names the Komandirskie directly in his 2024 retrospective of the studio's watches. The in-game dial makes one in-fiction alteration: the cursive script that reads "Командирские" on the real watch is drawn "Tovarishcheskiy" ("comradely"), so the item is a clearly-derived look-alike cataloged as a real-adjacent appearance of the Komandirskie rather than a licensed placement.

PRIM Orlík 38

The FIA resistance of Czech-inspired Everon wears the PRIM Orlík 38: designer Karel Mořický's retrospective notes that "Everon is a Czech-inspired island, so the locals of course wear authentic Czech wristwatch - Prim Orlík 38. Designed in the 1960s for the Czechoslovak army, it's known for its durability as well as its precision." A developer statement establishing the design source, and an in-joke of national pride from the Czech studio. The in-game dial carries the model name, "ORLÍK / 21 RUBÍNŮ / CZECH MADE", without the PRIM brand mark the real dial wears. (Karel Mořický, Armed Assault Wiki)
