The one his sponsors gave him for free to make people buy it, probably.
http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15610 is a good place for a less partisan reccomendation.
When I was on a course in 2003 he was wearing a Suunto Vector, but choose your own, it's fun selecting your own kit.

When I was very much younger I was absolutely mad on motorbikes (still am really, just mellowed with age a little...) I used to think what brand/model/type of tyre/handlebar grip/brake pad Doohan/Rainey/Lawson used was obviously the hot poop, was the absolute best type of product on the face of the planet and even at any price I just had to have it no matter what.
Then as I got older and a bit wiser, I got lucky enough to meet a few semi & ex pro's and found out nine times out of ten that it didn't actually matter what was the best product for the job, the sponsor shelled out vast amounts of cash for the racer to use and publicise their product and it wasn't quite as straightforward as I'd imagined in my naive youth.
The product could actually be the biggest pile of pants around, but the racer either used it and damn well sang its praises to anyone who would listen or he wouldn't have a job anymore.
Get my drift ?

I've also seen him wearing a Rolex Explorer II with a white dial on numerous occasions over the last three years, but he has never used this whilst filming.
I remember reading an interview with Ray that a journo did. It took the format of a walkabout in the countryside around London and the day finished with them parting company and Ray getting into his new Range Rover to drive off home.
I like Rolex myself, had one now for well over 20 years courtesy of an American PX. Every watch I owned before seemed to die when it reached 3 or 4 years old.

I use a storm navigator - Its a bit bulky, but its got an excellent compass built in, and a torch as well.

I thought he would have had better taste
Get yourself a Vostok for bushcrafting. Robust and cheap, mechanical so you don't need to change the batteries, and cheap. Some of the styles are a bit naff but some are quite OK, and they are cheap aswell.
Did I mention they are cheap?!

Would you know the model number?

It is indeed a Citizen Eco Drive watch which has been discontinued, monocoque titanium, WR to 200m, antimagnetic etc etc
Plus it tells the time
You're going to hate me for this....when he turned up for a week's sojourn in the Ardeche this May he was wearing a Rolex Submariner

Bit scary as he was canoeing with it...might be because he gets sponsored by them, or it might be cos he's just got loadsawonga!
It's a nice watch....but would I go canoeing with it at £2500?
I'll stick with my G-Shock thanks!!!
