During WW2, twelve watch manufactures were selected to produce a watch to issue to army personnel. These watches were designed to the exact same strict specification and design. They became known as the “Dirty Dozen”.
The mission of Baltany is to be inspired by the past – and no watch in our range exemplifies that like our Military Field Watch.

I'm absolutely thrilled with my new Quartz Military Field Watch. The quality of it is superb and it appears so well built, too. The dial is stunning in terms of its level of detail and clarity, and the brushed finish of the stainless steel case is fantastic. What's also really pleasing is that the 36mm case and 18mm leather strap look so good on my not-so-large 7" wrist. I'm a bit of an enthusiast of military field watches and this 'Dirty Dozen' replica is certainly an authentic one. Indeed, it's one of my favourite watches in my collection. Would I recommend it?.... most certainly yes!
Very impressive value for money watch, lovely dial with neat sub-seconds and generous lume, perfect 36mm size, and can't believe the sapphire crystal with A/R coating and screw-down crown for the price. The useful zipper case with helpful strap pins removal tool is another plus. A really great effort, so I wish you all at Baltany every success with such quality and properly done retro-styling. I'd always had George Mallory as a hero, so used to seek the kind of WW 1 military watch that looked like his Borgel - as found on him in 1999 up on Everest. But, it's been done now, and this watch is so much better.
The watch is beautiful and feels authentic plus little bit of character of its own. This is a well thought-out, watch-lover-minded watch. Detail is flawless. I am quite impressed. Movement is quite good (+10sec/day) The logo is not very prominent as the photo suggests, which is a good thing if you are looking for a authentic-looking dirty dozen watch.
Hello. I have an interesting story that has brought me to buy one of your watches. I am now 66 years old and 50 years ago with my very first wage I went to the Army Surplus Store in Huddersfield and bought a Jaeger le-Coultre watch, the cost was a week's wage of £5 as I was an apprentice barber. Wish I'd have had the foresight to buy the box full as I remember must have been dozens there sitting in a cardboard box on the counter. Anyway I wore the watch continually for the next 20 years getting it serviced from time to time and traveling the world with my trusty watch always on my wrist. Time came when I put it away in a drawer and there it stayed until I recently found out how much it had become worth. Although the watch was a part of me I could not in all honesty justify keeping it so reluctantly sold it a year back. Since then I have looked at a modern retro replacement and eventually found your marvellous watches. I wanted an easy to wear quartz watch that could be taken off and left a few days without the need to shake about so bought this. I would have preferred the hand shape you have on the automatic as look the same as the Jaeger but am absolutely delighted with the one I have and feel it will become my new favourite. I have replaced the strap to a metal bracelet style as am use to this style of strap but this is just my personal preference. Highly highly pleased with my purchase and would recommend your watches to anyone. Thank you and I'm sure your brand will go from strength to strength. Regards Steven. Ps I enclose pictures of my original watch and it's fabulous replacement.
I don’t normally do reviews but this has to be an exception. I absolutely love this military inspired field watch. I love its simplicity and how it suits any occasion. Also looks great with a NATO strap. Thanks for a super fast delivery too
