Product Information

The watch has a caliber 17 mechanical self-winding movement and the rotating bezel is bidirectional with 60 positions, so you can line up the engraved arrow with the minute markers and time an event. The dial has luminous numerals and markers so you can read it in any light conditions, and it’s also available in blue. All in all, the Breitling Navitimer 8 is a great all-purpose timepiece and perfect for anyone looking for one of the best minimalist field watches.

So here are the best field watches on the market today. They all draw inspiration from their military heritage and are suitably durable and tough. But these brands have also taken advantage of modern technology and cutting-edge design to create timepieces that are sleek and minimalist, perfect for wearing both in the office and in the great outdoors. The 15 best field watches The second-generation Defender is more reliable and user-friendly than the original, adding a sense of style and practicality. The new version has been designed to be even more helpful in everyday life while retaining the ruggedness that made the original so famous. The Luminox Atacama Adventurer Field Ref. XL.1767 is a rugged and casual field watch that will surely look great on your wrist. This timekeeper is robustly built to withstand any sort of harsh conditions, making it the perfect companion for your escapades. It comes in a 42mm gunmetal stainless steel case, paired with a textured khaki green section dial. The watch’s sporty look is completed by a matching khaki green textile strap. It is powered by a first-class RONDA 6004.D quartz movement that delivers up to 40 months of battery life. In terms of the styling of the Orient Defender II I'd say it's a field watch inspired timepiece. It has a utilitarian, even military appearance, particularly when putting it on a Nato strap.Like the Orient Defender, the dial of this Khaki Field watch is also furnished with luminous hands and indices. However, the Khaki Field Ref. H69529913 differs in that it has a more straightforward dial design, with no sub-dials. This watch has a 24-hour layout as well, but it takes the form of hour markers running from 1 to 24 instead of the sub-dial utilised in the Orient Defender. The hands and hour markers on this watch also come in dark grey, to better contrast against the white dial. While the Orient Defender is not going to be the field watch for everyone – given the dial design – it is a remarkably capable watch with personality. Indeed, there aren’t other field watches (that I know of) on the market with an asymmetrical set of sub-dials that include the time, date, day of the week, and AM/PM indicator. Most field watches have just the time, with possibly the date. It’s hard to think of a more evocative and catchy name for a field watch than Heritage Ranger. If there’s anything that screams adventure, agility, and pedigree, it’s that combination of words.

Highly respected watch manufacturing brand Marathon makes watches for military servicemen and has been supplying watches to the Allied Forces since 1941. That’s some serious military pedigree, and all this experience and expertise has gone into creating the GPM Field Watch. The Defender breaks out from the standard three-hand mold that most field watches fit into. It has a more modern and aggressive design. A matte-finished case houses the Orient caliber F6B22 movement that allows for a day wheel display, a numeric date at 3, and a really interesting 24-hour display at 4. The dial layout is far from traditional, making the Defender a great (and affordable) option for those who like the field watch aesthetic, but are looking for something a little more interesting. As with most of Orient’s line, the quality of the watch far outweighs the reasonable asking price too. Orient Defender II Inspiration for this model came from IWC’s Mark 11 Navigation, which was originally designed for the British Royal Air Force and has since become one of the most iconic military watches in existence. The power reserve delivers more than 40 hours of functionality, and, at only 41 millimeters across, the Breitling Navitimer 8 is small and compact, ideal for everyday wear.

Finally, as with all Omega timepieces, the quality is first-class, making this a great watch to accompany you on your off-grid adventuring. The Omega Seamaster Railmaster is one that will definitely hold up under pressure. The Tudor Heritage collection draws inspiration from the most emblematic models in the history of the brand. While retaining their original spirit and vintage look, new models are upgraded with small, subtle touches and new technical features to optimize their performance.
