If you missed your chance to land Bespoke Post and Timex’s revival of the deep-cut Viscount field watch earlier this year, you’re in luck.
One of the coolest mil-spec designs from the Timex archive has been faithfully revived, again, with a cushion case and a generous amount of lume. It is easily one of the best field watches $200 can buy.
The Timex x Bespoke Post Field Watch is based on a specific design from the Viscount collection produced during the 1970s. The dial and case are spot-on reproductions, and the only significant updates are a signed crown and caseback.
One other update is that the Field Watch comes on a quick-release olive drab Cordura two-piece strap with a pin buckle and black leather lining, a significant step up from the black rubber strap provided on the original model.
The dimensions of the Field Watch match its vintage look, featuring a polished steel cushion case that measures 36 mm in width by 11 mm in height. It is topped with a high-domed acrylic crystal that improves legibility at sharp angles.
It is hard to gauge what the lume was like on the original design from existing vintage models, but I doubt it had the striking amount layered onto the revival’s dial.
