The quick answer.
Thorn Watches SHY034 A11 Titanium Retro Military (Camouflage Dial) is a 36 mm military field watch at $169. We recommend it for a buyer who wants a compact retro military watch that can also go in the water.
Why it belongs on the shortlist.
The A-11 look is a classic military field watch: Arabic numerals, a plain dial and a canvas strap. THORN adds titanium, sapphire and a 200 m rating. The camouflage dial is the unusual version.
Our verdict: the A-11 that can swim.
Military-style watches at this size usually skip the water rating. THORN’s combination of titanium, sapphire and 200 m with a 36 mm case is unusual, and the camouflage dial adds character.
What you get.
THORN lists an NH35 automatic, Swiss C3 green lume, a screw-down crown and a screwed case back inlaid with bronze bullets. Our field watch guide explains the style.

THORN lists a 36 mm diameter without the crown, 43 mm lug-to-lug, 13.88 mm thickness including glass and an 18 mm band width. Check strap availability in 18 mm.
