That bear is Smokey the bear, an American icon , and he’s wearing a forest rangers hat, also known as a campaign hat. He is the mascot/logo of the US Forest Service. I like your videos my friend

Smiths Everest Expedition and Smiths Military are two modern reissues of watches made in the fifties/sixties by the original brand. Yes I know ordering is not easy but they're both good field watches. The Military was issued to British Forces and the Expedition is a nod to a watch used by the successful Commonwealth Trans Antarctic Expedition (Vivian Fuchs/Edmund Hillary).

Very good video, thank you! I am wearing a Vaer A5 as my everyday watch . I love it. And the Hamilton Murph 38mm is in my shortlist. The Omega Railmaster is kept safe for special ocasions. My priority when buying a watch is craftmanship and legilibilty. No inner hands, no additional numbers, no chronograph, just tell me the time!

@turnbasedtoddy7664 2 ай бұрын

The bear is American Icon Smokey the Bear. He was an old character to teach kids how to prevent forest fires.

Lots of good choices here! For me, affordable basic quartz field watches is where its at. They can go anywhere and take a beating without breaking the bank when buying, servicing or replacing them. I would be a bit reprehensive to truly subject a mechanical to abuse as they feel more like art and craftmanship than a true tool. At least for me. I have no problem subjecting a quartz watch to abuse. Like say a Bertucci or Casio. Have a great weekend man!

Great field watch picks. My favorite there is the Studio Underdog which it I bits the more expensive e of them all (not counting CW). Other field watches to consider, and I think better than Studio underdog's would be Baltic and Yema's new field watches

I've ordered a new mechanical field watch, the one I'm wearing now though, is the Lorus Lumibrite Field. The provided single pass fabric strap frayed pretty quick, the watch itself, no complaints.

SWC also regulate their Sellita movements to pretty much chronometer spec. My bunker came with a card for five positions at -2, -3, -4, +3, -2 seconds. At 500 bucks I'll take that over a COSC cert at +1000 dollars

Hi everyone! This was indeed a great list but, for those wanting something truly different, the Zodiac Olympos Military Field is a spectacular option! I own the Worn & Wound Edition and it is simply fenomenal. It never makes it to these kind of lists.. but trust me; that watch would likely blow all of them out of the water. It is that good. Plus it is has an iconic shape design…

@rikdriscoll2160 2 ай бұрын

I just looked up the Zodiac Olympic Military Field after seeing your comment. It's a fantastic looking watch with a very unique case shape and the crown at 2 o'clock. It's a stunner, good shout my friend 👍

@RandallSlick 2 ай бұрын

FYI the Baltany. Same case as my Steeldive. Mine was £90. That's a big premium for a re-done dial and a sub-seconds movement and being less German. Other than that, a good list. Love Vario. The coolest watches on earth.

@badprofilepic882 2 ай бұрын

The Berny T2566 is also a great option, for around $60 you get a full titanium bracelet and case, a sapphire crystal and a mecha quartz movement.

Hi Kieron! I would add a couple of Citizen models mainly with Eco-Drive: Chandler series, Garrison (especially BM8560-53E on bracelet), models like BM8595 or Avion Super Titanium (I think it's more of a flieger type). In general - maybe they have basic citizen's solar mechanisms, but in general they are quite solid and inexpensive watches.

@@TopTierTicker so last year I got the opportunity to handle a bunch of Vaer watches at the NYC windup watch show. Whenever I go to these shows I always find watches I’ve seen online, then in person I’m underwhelmed, and also watches where I’m really impressed……with Vaer I was very surprised how good they looked and felt in person. I try not to buy watches that often since I have other more important things to spend money on, but for my next affordable watch there is a very good chance it will be a Vaer
