hunter

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'watch' is the definition.
(type of watch)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for hunter that I've seen before include "Nimrod, for instance" , "One pursuing - type of watch" , "One seeking game" , "'Nimrod or Orion, say (6)'" , "See 10" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
