The Timor Heritage Field: A “Dirty Dozen” Watch is Reborn

Timor has timed the release of their Heritage Field watch to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the launch of the original watch that was issued to members of the British armed services. The Heritage Field is faithful to the original design of the “Dirty Dozen” watch, but is of course built with modern manufacturing techniques to appeal to the modern consumer. 

The case is bead blasted stainless steel, and will naturally resist scratches and develop an appropriately weathered look over time. At only 36.5mm in diameter, Timor has resisted the temptation to upsize their timepiece to appeal to modern trends, which is without a doubt the right choice for this watch. The whole purpose of a field watch is to be inconspicuous, lightweight, unobtrusive, and always ready to go. With a case height of just 11mm, a watch of these proportions should wear easily regardless of wrist size, and the intentionally legible and rudimentary dial layout makes it simple to get a sense of the time with a quick glance.
