1 year agoI think in general the field watch is underrated.
Simple to read dial and the Arabic numerals are printed there to give you a more accurate read of the time. I have misread the time before on dials with no numerals.
I just got this watc, Seiko 5 SRPK41, because I wanted a watch that has a clean read: https://www.seikowatches.com/us-en/products/5sports/srpk41

This is my dad’s Citizen 59-1041. This is the watch I remember seeing my dad wear in the 80’s.
I love how it’s beat up and functional every day watch with no precious regard due to its affordability.
To me the generational passing down of watches is the most significant ritual of watch collecting. I don’t have any expensive watches but this one is my most valuable.
It was just sitting in my Dads desk drawer until I remembered to ask him for it.
