Hi, so my career has recently changed and I would benefit from a durable watch with a nice power reserve. I’ve looked a lot on my own but thought you folks might know more than I do. I’m specifically looking for a black dial that I can somewhat dress down, or in other words isn’t “tactical”.

What I’ve found that I like so far: Hamilton Khaki Murph 38mm Seiko TiCTAC SZSB006 Sinn BB56 Longines Spirit 37mm Black Dial

My wrist size is 6.5in and my budget is 1,000 USD. Thanks for any help you can give :)

    I have the Murph 38 & it’s a great little watch. It dresses up and down nicely. Wore it in Europe recently & swapped between black shell cordovan and ash grey leather. The cathedral hands and faux patina colour gives it a lil somethin’ extra. Personally prefer it to the Baby Alpinist even though people are quick to recommend it over the Murph

      I have a feeling I’ll end up going with the Murph. Currently dead stuck between the Murph and the CW Sandhurst 2.

        Besides dial aesthetics, the most major point of difference is do you think you’d ever want to have the watch on a metal bracelet or not. I’m pretty sure the Murph doesn’t have that option, even though plenty of other Hamilton field watches do. But the Murph is meant to be more dressy than most field watches.
