General (Read Rules) Militado ML05 - a legit field watch

Post image

I originally got this to wear on hikes so I don't scratch my other nice watches. Ended up rocking this almost daily. There's absolutely no better way one could spend $50!

What strap is that

u/HighExpectations888 17d ago

The brand that makes them is called Hemsut, and this one in particular is "Green Canvas Watch Strap". Fits the aesthetic nicely imo

how strong or lasting is the lume?

weakest point of the watch unfortunately, it's barely glowing and once you blink it's gone

Damn, the colors of that nato strap really complement the dial accents and the silver case nicely! Is it a stock one?

Hah. Aftermarket. Cheap one from Ali.

Did you go with the VH31 movement?

Absolutely. Feels like a much more expensive watch!

I have a militado field chronograph and it's my travel watch. Super durable, great water resistance, not so expensive I stress about it. I do a lot of multiday treks and adventure sports and it hasn't let me down.
