-- The watchmakers use specific materials in the manufacturing of field watches to achieve certain characteristics. For example, they use titanium for the metal parts, anti-glare sapphire crystal for the watch face, and rubber or composite straps. These watches also feature self-winding mechanical movements. Field watches were originally designed to meet the needs of soldiers during war. Watch companies noticed this need and seized the opportunity to turn it into a trend. Here, we will discuss the top 5 best automatic field watches in 2023.
Citizen Promaster Dive Automatic
Citizen Watch Company has deep roots in the history of horology. From the transformation of the Shokosha Watch Research Institute into the present-day Citizen Watch Company, Citizen has garnered several accolades and become the pioneer of numerous cutting-edge technologies. Examples include Super Titanium, light-powered Eco-Drives, and the most accurate quartz watch, among others.
The Promaster Dive Automatic is a field watch that combines elegance and ruggedness. It has a blue stick dial with box-shaped indices. All the indices, including the triangle on the bezel at the 12 o'clock position, as well as the minute, hour, and second hands, are coated with green luminescent paint. This feature is particularly useful in dark situations, such as scuba diving. Both the crown and date display are positioned at 3 o'clock. Case and bracelet are made from Super Titanium, which has a silver tone. Crystal is sapphire, and the water resistance is suitable for scuba diving, up to a depth of 200m. Case width is 41mm, which makes the watch stand out on the wrist, and the lug width is a standard 20mm. This timepiece features an automatic 9051 mechanical movement with a 42-hour power reserve. Moreover, its antimagnetic feature makes it a good option for laboratories and workshops where magnetic waves may be present.
Personally, I find this watch to be beautiful. The blue-colored dial and bezel make it suitable for everyday use.
Boderry: VOYAGER - 100M Waterproof Titanium Automatic Field Watch
Boderry is a prestigious Chinese watchmaking brand. They take pride in their rich cultural heritage and their passion for creating affordable luxury watches using high-quality materials. Their quality control is nothing short of that of top-tier luxury brands. The reason behind their success is their capability for in-house manufacturing of every single part, from raw materials to finished products.
The Voyager titanium field watches collection ticks almost every box when it comes to prominent field watches. Its scratch-proof sapphire crystal and titanium ensure that it remains resistant to wear and tear, making it a favorite choice for customers who want to wear it daily. It has an Arabic dial with all hands and numbers coated with Swiss Super-LumiNova C3. Its 40mm case diameter makes it a perfect fit for wrists of all sizes. The date window and the crown are both positioned at 4 o'clock. Since it is a field watch, the weight of the watch is of high importance. With the nylon strap, the weight is just 74g. Nylon straps are available in six colors: black, khaki, army green, brown, red, and deep brown. The dial of Voyager comes in six different colors: black, white, salmon, vintage noir, volcanic gray, and claret. Beside nylon, cowhide strap, and titanium bracelet options are also available. It has a self-winding mechanical automatic Seiko NH35 movement. The point that sets this watch apart from others is that it offers the features of luxury watches at an affordable price.
Hamilton - Khaki Field Titanium Auto
Hamilton Khaki is not a new name in the field watch category. In fact, this field watch is highly sought after and is often promoted by renowned influencers in the watch industry. It has a caliber H10 automatic movement with an 80-hour power reserve. PVD-coated titanium case ensures long-lasting scratch resistance, and the PVD coating is applied not only to the case but also to the crown and buckle. The date window is positioned at 3 o'clock, and the glass features a slightly domed sapphire crystal. Its green luminosity on the hands, numbers, and dots beside the numbers is really nicely done. Though it's not very bright, its longevity is good. This titanium version is the premium model of the Hamilton Khaki collection. It sits comfortably on the wrist and, due to its lightweight design, it can be worn as a daily-use watch without any inconvenience.
Tudor - Pelagos M25600TB-0001
It is the in-house version of the watch launched in 2015 at Baselworld. The case and the buckle are both made of titanium. It has a 42mm case diameter and it resembles the Rolex Oyster case. A blue vulcanized rubber strap provides comfort for extended wear, while the buckle features the Tudor logo.
A flush and seamless helium escape valve is located on the flank, although most people hardly notice it unless they require its use. It will deploy internally when the internal pressure exceeds the external pressure by about 2 to 3 bar.
The entire bezel, markings, indices, and hands are luminous. The bezel and dial both have a matte blue color. The watch has a self-winding automatic mechanism and a 70-hour power reserve. The date window is located at the 3 o'clock position. It pivots on 26 jewels and beats at 8 times per second. The movement is a COSC-certified Swiss chronometer, and it features an antimagnetic silicon hairspring. There is a spring mechanism on the clasp that allows the user to wear it over a wet diving suit.
Breitling - Super Avenger Chronograph 48
This watch is Breitling's high-class field watch with three subdials. It has a caliber 13 self-winding mechanical movement with an approximate power reserve of 48 hours. The case diameter is 48mm, which is quite large. However, the watch is lightweight; weighing approximately 157 grams, thanks to the DLC coated titanium case. 24mm lug width complements the large dial, and this width tapers to 20mm at the end of the strap, giving it a sporty appearance. The buckle is made of DLC-coated stainless steel and features a push-button folding clasp. It has a calfskin-backed nylon strap that is resistant to wear and tear. 300m water resistance is quite impressive, and the screw-locked crown with two gaskets also plays a vital role in achieving it. Cambered sapphire crystal on the top, with glareproof coating, creates an illusion as if there is no glass at all. Among the three subdials, the 60-second subdial is positioned at 9 o'clock, the 30-minute counter is positioned at 12 o'clock, and the 12-hour counter is positioned at 6 o'clock. This watch is particularly suitable for individuals who desire a large dial without the burden of excessive weight on their wrist.
