field watch


If its good enough for the US Army, its probably good enough for you. The US military is always on the for front of new technology and always fixing things that isn't broken. That being said the field watch has stood the test of time. The mechanisms on the inside may have gone through an overhaul in the 1990's to ensure that the military works in unison, though little has changed on the outside. The watch is usually required to either be a black colored face with white numbers, or a sand colored face with graphite numbers. There must always be 60 second hash marks and equilateral triangles at each hour marker. Notably, this watch has two  bars on the north and south of the watch so you may switch out the band as you prefer. Stores today currently sell bands that you can swap out or, you can settle for a more permanent leather solution. Either way you go, you will have a piece of classic Americana ticking away on your wrist.
