Swiss army, sensible price, odd strap size
By Abby Turner, Melbourne ยท
Sapphire for under five hundred bucks is the headline here. The FieldForce is a clear, sensible quartz field watch: black dial, big numbers, a date, a Ronda 515 inside, and that sapphire crystal, all for US$425 to $495. 100 m water resistance too. It's 42 mm wide and 10.7 mm thick, which is a comfortable middle size.
Two gripes. The 21 mm lug width is annoying, because most aftermarket straps are 20 or 22, and the leather strap is the first thing I'd bin for something sanitiser-proof. And the price is creeping up towards Hamilton Khaki territory, which is a tough rival.
Still, if you want Swiss quartz with sapphire and a clear dial, it's a solid pick.
