Choosing a 38mm field watch
Why 38mm
Watches issued in the 1940s were smaller than most modern watches; the A-11 Type 44 still offers its original 32mm size. 38mm keeps that restrained look while giving a larger dial and stronger lume. Lug-to-lug length matters as much as diameter: each product page lists the exact case dimensions and lug width, so you can pick a matching strap from our watch straps.

38mm field watch questions
Is 38mm too small for a man's wrist?
No. 38mm was a common men's size for decades and is close to many vintage field watches. Lug-to-lug length matters more: most of our 38mm models stay compact, and each product page lists the exact case dimensions.
Should I choose an automatic or quartz 38mm field watch?
Choose an automatic if you enjoy a mechanical watch that winds as you wear it. If you rotate watches and want to pick one up without winding or resetting it after a few days off, quartz is the simpler choice. A 38mm case tells you the size, not which movement is inside.
Do all 38mm watches take the same strap size?
No. 38mm measures the case, not the gap between its lugs where the strap attaches. Check the watch's listed lug width or measure that inside gap in millimeters. Match the strap to the lug width, then check its length for your wrist.
