I think the Seiko 5 SNKN25K1 is a field watch, but it has the same case as the SNK809 which has a flieger style dial.
Technically both don't suit for that stuff because no hacking...I was surprised of the accuracy as 50/50 wrist and dial up it's 0,0sec/day.
Originally I bought the Seiko 5 just out of curiosity but since it was so accurate I decided to keep it.
It has only 30m WR so I've been wearing it in the shower and outdoors hiking and hunting, just to push it and see how bad the seals really are.
So far there hasn't been any signs of moisture inside the watch.
Field watches
Blue one piece perlon was almost too much, it completely changed how the watch looked and felt.
The Junkers F13 eisvogel model 6706-5 imho has just a hint of flieger in it, it's the dial or the shape of the case or something or dunno maybe it's just the name.
If you don't know Junkers... https://www.junkers-f13.com/junkers-f13-legend/
I was actually looking to buy the Hamilton Khaki King but before purchase I looked at watches in sale and my gf said the Junkers looks nice.
So, I kind of accidentally bought it, MSRP is 800€ and it I got a full set with 450€, it has a 50m WR, Sellita SW200-1,sapphires and genuine alligator strap so it wasn't that bad.

junkers are fairly well known specially to Russian fans as some of their early ones used a 3133 chrono movement

I think anyone that has knowledge of WW2 knows Junkers planes, the watches are a bit meh as they ride on the name without any real heritage.
They do have a few nice looking and affordable bauhaus watches, kind of cheap versions of Junghans bauhaus watches.

I would understand the Junghans prices if they used sapphire glass and have more than 30m WR but no, plexiglass and just splash resistant 1000€ watch is an accident waiting to happen.
