Field watches first appeared in the 1880’s, but became more prevalent in the early 20th century when military personnel and outdoor enthusiasts asked for more accurate timing and water- and shock-resistant watches for use in the field.With the advent of highly accurate, low-maintenance Swiss quartz movements, these watches are the natural go-to choice due to their easily readable dials.
Because of this, the Field watches have become the most endearing gear — like T-shirts, sneakers, or well-worn blue jeans. For more than a century, the Field watch has remained one of the most-loved American watch styles. Luminox now spreads the Field watch’s popularity, with its new Field series.
