Orient Automatic Watch RA-AK0403N10B

Product Information

This Orient field watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters, which means you can safely wear it snorkeling or swimming—although diving should be avoided. It’s unpretentious, understated, and as practical and down-to-earth as you’d expect from a watch originally worn by railway workers. But it also has that powerful confidence you associate with an Omega timepiece.

In terms of materials, you want something water-resistant as you’ll be likely wearing your field watch outside in diverse weather conditions. Beyond that, your options are: The Orient Defender is a well-built field watch, featuring a suave and easy-to-use design that is perfect for individuals who enjoy outdoor escapades. Proudly carrying the Orient name, the Orient Defender meets all four qualities a field watch should have: legible, durable, reliable, and affordable. Without further ado, let us take a look at the excellent features the Orient Defender has to offer. Anatomy of the Orient Defender

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. Where can Orient go from here for the Defender? While this watch is already a great value and offers some welcome personality over other field watches, I think Orient could certainly benefit from tweaking the hand length, as well as possibly adding a sapphire crystal in the future. While I don’t know what Orient has in development, being able to hand-wind a field watch is always a good idea. And, if they are going to upgrade the movement, why not also add a power reserve indicator where the current logo is? While you’re probably not looking for a field watch to wear into armed conflict, you may well be on the search for a watch that’s built to last and designed with adventuring in mind.

Omega can always be counted on to bring its outstanding Swiss craftsmanship and decades of horological expertise to the table, and this classic timepiece is no exception. The Orient Defender is certainly up to the challenge. This Japanese brand, known for delivering high-quality and expertly crafted timepieces, has created a refined-looking field watch that meets all the requirements of utility and function but is also aesthetically pleasing. The AM/PM indicator (the 24 hour sub-dial) serves two purposes. First, as mentioned it is a handy AM/PM indicator, as the 24 hour time is synchronized to the main time. Second, it helps satisfy the almost ubiquitous requirement that field watches have a scale for military time. Unlike most field watches that put this scale next to the main hour markers, Orient is cleverly using a sub-dial for this purpose. This particular model is a tribute to the brand’s 1957 Railmaster timepieces and is based on the original antimagnetic watch designed for those working near electric fields. This watch has a couple of updates, however: the addition of caliber 8806 movement that is extra anti-magnetic, plus a reinforced bracelet for strength. Plus, there’s a certain thrill that comes with wearing something so steeped in military history. With a watch on your wrist that was designed to withstand extreme warfare, everyday battles—getting a seat on the train and not missing the bus, for example—definitely become more exciting.Despite the watch’s simple appearance, however, it took 3 years to be developed. The results of this painstaking labor? A beautiful demonstration of horological skill that includes a Seiko VH31 quartz movement and Super-LumiNova coating for night-time visibility. With its authentic vibe and attention to detail, the Timex Expedition Scout field watch is a real bargain and it’s no surprise that it’s one of the brand’s best-selling models. But the best field watches retain the reliability and robustness of those first wartime timepieces, making them a great choice for anyone seeking a durable and long-lasting timekeeping accessory. 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.

Glare-proof crystal for the display – the best quality field watches have sapphire crystal displays which are scratch-resistant.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. And of course, any watch created for use by military personnel is able to withstand wear and tear. This makes field watches the ideal option for adventurers and outdoorsmen. If you spend your weekends out on remote excursions or engaging in adrenaline-pumping activities, then you need a dependable field watch to accompany you on your pursuits. These field watches draw inspiration from models actually used on the battlefield (note: many if not most of the watches in this guide could fall into this category, these are just two exemplary models)
