The dials should be legible with highly contrasting numbers and markers and the dial shouldn’t be cluttered with other distractions other than a simple date window or other practical feature. The cases are made of titanium or stainless steel and the straps are either nato-style nylon or genuine leather. Since these watches were initially designed for battle, it makes sense that a quality field watch should be durable. When it comes to picking a good quality field watch, we look for a few primary characteristics – simple, legible and rugged. Field watches, on the other hand, excel at simple design, legible dials and utilitarian straps which makes them a great choice for an everyday carry. Many other types of tool watches like dive or pilot watches often have busy dials and chunky dials. Field watches continue to be a popular choice due to their simple, classic design.
