Japanese bagmaker Hobo has teamed up with Citizen to create a new, spot-on reinterpretation of a vintage field watch. The dial (available in off-white or olive green) features subtle branding from Hobo, while the main numerals denote minutes rather than hours — it’s very reminiscent of a vintage military wristwatch. Similarly old-school is the 36mm case diameter, as is the nylon NATO strap. The watch is powered by a quartz Citizen movement and is water resistant to 50 meters. It will go on sale March 15th for around $188 (20,000 yen).
