Field watches
Never liked them at all... Until now, I suddenly find myself drawn to them. What are you favourites for under a grand or so?
Not saying I'm gonna buy one but...
Edit if anyone posts a bund strap I'll request that you be banned.

I'd accept fixed lugs here, field watches don't come on bracelets which is fine. The cwc story is cool, that's for sure. The black Timor is the best looking posted here to far I think...
Keep em coming though!

The Timor is however, strictly speaking, a "Dirty Dozen" trench-watch design which predates the field-watch design with center seconds.

Field watches typically have center seconds and the "military time" 12/24 hrs dial design.
They did evolve from the trench watches of course, so the "lines" between both types are somewhat blurry.
Still to me, a proper field-watch should have the 12/24-hr dial.

Field watches arent really my thing but I really like that CWC Melor even if it doesn't meet the strict criteria for the dial.
