This watch symbolizes much of the Royal Dutch Marine Corps creed, tradition and beliefs. The name originates from the date of founding; 10 December 1665 when Lt. Admiral Michiel de Ruyter and Commander at Sea Willem Joseph van Ghent founded the Corps which was the first Marine Corps in the world. The Dutch Marines first mission was during the Raid on the Medway in which de Ruyter commanded a raid on the English fleet, stationed near London, successfully ending the Second English-Dutch War in June 1667. Since the Marine Corps commemorate the fallen and their founding year on 10 December.
