Description

The A-11 Tactical Black is built from the original U.S. Military Specification for Service Watches issued in 1942 - an all-purpose instrument designed for battlefield reliability and instant readability.

This execution holds that brief. A stripped, high-contrast dial delivers immediate legibility in any condition. Indexes and hands are fully lumed to maintain visibility in low light without compromise.

A double-domed sapphire crystal sits above the dial, shaped to replicate the boxed acrylic crystals used on original A-11s. The profile stays true to the period, while sapphire brings modern scratch resistance and long-term clarity.

Inside, the watch moves to a modern Miyota 8025 automatic - adding a date function while preserving mechanical dependability for daily wear.

Each piece is assembled in the United States and fitted on either a brown leather strap or a green canvas strap, staying aligned with the functional roots of the original A-11.
