The most innovative take on the original A-11 Spec, the “White Patina Leather” ventures into new territory. It maintains the field watch and vintage look while the white dial brings a more subdued feel.

The dial design stays authentically true, but the clean white base with faux-patina contoured black indexes offers a unique experience compared to other versions. The distinctive minute and hour indexes are a nod to an era when these watches were hand-painted. Additionally, the triple-printed hour indexes emulate the irregularities left by a traditional 1940s paintbrush.

With such a creative dial, the case anchors the watch in its 1940s A-11 Mil-Spec roots. The case is available in either a 32mm or in a 40mm size. The main case body is sandblasted to eliminate any gloss, in true field watch fashion. However, as a nod to the original shiny chrome plating found on most A-11s, the lugs are polished.

The Brown Leather strap enhances the field watch look, tying the watch together as an elegant interpretation of what a field watch should be. It is suitable for both rugged environments and situations requiring a touch of elegance.
