Swiss Military Hanowa Active Duty 06-4326.04.009

Unfortunately, we live in a time when field watches or the so-called field watch are becoming not just an element of style, but a real tool.

Of course, field watches were once created for the needs of the ground forces. The peculiarity of this watch is the absence of any complications. In this watch you will not see rotating bezels, chronographs and other goodies.

But what is really typical for a field watch is a light and comfortable case, a large dial with large markings so that the time can be quickly read in any conditions, the date, and water resistance at the level of 50 meters. That's all and, we can say that this is the main and necessary set of a soldier. After all, it was for them that these watches were created, and after some time this style became popular not only at the war level, but also in everyday, peaceful life.

When I saw this watch in the store, it immediately caught my attention. The field watch is really unmistakable. They have a simple and distinct style, while such watches, despite the minimalism inherent in the style, can look expensive, and I understand why they went far beyond just watches for the military.

The body of the model is made of stainless steel with a matte finish. Visually, the watch looks like titanium due to the matte finish. And the weight of the watch is only 56 grams. And this is with a case size of 43 mm.

To be honest, I really doubted that it was stainless steel and checked the information, probably on 3 resources. But this is really stainless steel, so I can only admire that with such dimensions, the Swiss Millitary brand managed to get such a weight.

Well, since we are talking about size... 43 mm is the diameter. 50 mm - from ear to ear and thickness - 9 mm. Strap width - 22 mm.

The leather strap is a definite plus of the model. It has an artificially aged texture, is neatly stitched with thread, and overall feels like a good quality belt.

On the inside, the strap has a bright red padding. The Swiss Milliary brand claims that they want to make even such hidden elements both for the style of the watch and for the style of the brand itself. Well, here you understand: Switzerland - reds and colors, etc.

The strap has 2 locks for length adjustment and a minimalistic clasp.

According to the characteristics, the Swiss, quartz movement is declared. Unfortunately, I never found information anywhere about what kind of caliber and of course it pisses me off a little that the Swiss often do not write this. Guys, what's the problem?

I assume that this is some simple Ronda 515 mechanism.

The model has a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and, as befits a field watch, it is water-resistant to 50 meters. You can wash your hands, you can not be afraid of the rain.

The price of watches today is 5770 UAH in Ukrainian stores. And I think this is a nice price tag for a Swiss brand. I understand that the watch is simple, but this simplicity is done with dignity. A cool case that surprises with its lightness for such dimensions, very attractive dials that you can’t confuse with anything, excellent straps, which is a huge plus for this price segment, as they usually save a lot here, but I don’t feel it in this watch.

Therefore, regardless of whether you are a military man or a civilian, I recommend this watch to you if you like it outwardly. And from us you buy only original watches Swiss Military-Hanowa Active Duty 06-4326.04.009 with a 2-year warranty!
