Hamilton have released yet another Field Watch.

This time it's in titanium, with a 42 mm case diameter. Available in silver or black.

More at Worn & Wound.

Your wonderfully faded sleeve cuff is distracting @Graeme 

[Graeme]

@motojobobo I stole the photo off Worn & Wound. It's not my cuff!

Die to some late night drinking and eBay browsing, I now have a new watch. It's a pretty faithful remake of a model from 1970-71 that I've liked for years, however, the originals tend to be in poor condition and far more than I'm willing to pay.  I've already ordered a replacement NATO, as this silicone strap is cool looking, but not especially comfortable.

New to me, SRP655.

Nice!

And the world clearly needs more indigo flannels.

Is that the one that’s referred to as the surfboard?

[Anesthetist]

Pretty sure it is. Def a cool little number.

Yep, that's the one.

The originals (there were a couple of regular three handers in addition to the surfboard chrono) were rated to a depth of 666 feet, so they were also called Devil Divers.  I think Bulova missed out by not doing the same with the reissue and putting the 666 on the dial.

Anyone ID this model?

That's a nice looking watch…

Have been a mechanical watch admirer / collector for quite some time! The NOMOS Tangente is my every day wear both in formal & casual setting!

Thanks @ijpx
Not too bad of a price point…. i think. Not positive of course since i can’t read the description.

Model reference is SZSB006
Do a google search and you’ll find more info.

[Bfd70]

Cool thanks. Any chance you have first hand experience?
I think the worn and wound review suggests niceto look at but funtionally perhaps a little over priced.

Here’s my SBDC063 with blue bezel mated to a pigeon tree whiskey shell cordovan strap. It’s a lovely timepiece that I’ve worn almost daily since it arrived. The blue bezel is not done justice here, but looks swell tucked under an indigo shirt.

My new 40mm Hamilton field Khaki arrived today. Got 20% off RRP from an authorised online dealer. Colour and placement of the date window aren't for everyone. I'm swapping the strap out for a Tanner Goods pass through strap, ordered today at another super discount.

[Giles]

Date window is where it should be IMO…...
