    Great video, and nice to get to know the new team member. I am looking closer at that Formex now

    Check out the Vaer A12 dirty dozen-style watch. This one is an automatic version of their A10. Both nice additions to the field watch space…

    Nice list. I hadn't heard of the Circula before and I am liking the style of it.

      Thanks for checking out the video! Circula has quietly been producing quality watches with some unique features for quite some time now and deserve some consideration

    Traska also makes their field watch in 36mm and it wears so good. Field watches should be small IMO and Traska nailed it.

    • @WindupWatchShop
      @WindupWatchShop  Місяць тому

      Good call out! The 36 is a fantastic option for a lot of people out there. It is a bit understated but still keeps its excellent legibility

    • @DevinPennypacker
      @DevinPennypacker Місяць тому

      The 36 is great but unfortunately just looks too small on my wrist

    I understand you mentioned both the quartz and mechanical versions of the Khaki Field, but it would have been helpful to see the automatic model included in the list as well.

    • @WindupWatchShop
      @WindupWatchShop  Місяць тому

      That is a good call out. When making these lists it can be a bit difficult when one brand dominate the selections. But, credit where credit is due, the entire Khaki line deserves to be on this list

    Why does a field watch (or Flieger for that matter) require numerals at the hour markers? People don't have any problem reading a watch that doesn't have numerals. Behind you on the shelf is a Mondaine clock with no numerals but it is very legible. The similar Mondaine with black dial and white hands and markers is also very legible. Damasko is a brand that deviates from the norm by not having numerals on the dial. I think it's just me but the Traska and Citizens shown bother me by not having all of the numerals, my preference is for all of the numerals or none of the numerals. FWIW Citizen does make other models with all of the numerals that look more like traditional field watches.
    Back to the Mondaine- I have one that someone gave me and on its fancy leather strap with white stitching I just couldnt' get into it. I swapped it to a Bond NATO and now I think it makes an excellent field watch, without the numerals.

      Field watches started out as practical tool watches, not fashion statements. Today, the bold numerals are what make a field watch a field watch.

    Best field watch? G-shock DW-9052 on a NATO strap; or Hamilton Field if you prefer auto.

    Good enough list. Hamilton too many times tho. Shouldve added: Casio MTD-130D and a Timex Expedition North Titanium. Subbed nonetheless.

    The marathon looks very weird on your wrist... Maybe a 36mm or 8 would look more masculine on your wrist.

    Field watches are such a meme. Extremely basic, bland design, easy to manufacture, painted dial, crappy lume. Why would anyone buy this

      You are right, every mechanical watch is a meme. My $400 Garmin tracks everything from time to ambient pressure, and it's 100 times more accurate than a Patek. Why would any dodo buy mechanical watches

      To tell the time, probably.
