Description

The Jungle Field 38 Automatic is the natural evolution of our Jungle Field platform, an upgraded, more capable interpretation of the original design inspired by the GG-W-113 military specification developed by the U.S. Military in 1967. While the original Jungle Field focused on compact proportions and mechanical simplicity, the 38mm Automatic expands the concept with improved materials, increased water resistance, and a modern automatic movement, while preserving the clarity, restraint, and utilitarian intent that define a true field watch.

The Jungle Field 38 Automatic evolves the original 34mm Jungle Field Automatic with a larger 38mm case that improves wrist presence while staying true to mid-century military proportions. At just 10.20mm thick and 46mm lug-to-lug, the watch remains slim, balanced, and comfortable across a wide range of wrist sizes.

The sandblasted 316L stainless steel case reduces reflections in a modern take on the parkerized finishes specified by the GG-W-113 standard. A screw-down caseback and flat sapphire crystal provide added durability while maintaining a clear, distortion-free view of the dial.

Powered by the Miyota 9039 automatic movement, the watch delivers reliable, no-date performance. With 10 ATM water resistance, it’s built for daily wear and demanding conditions' a clear functional upgrade without losing its field-watch intent.

On the Wrist

On the wrist, the Jungle Field 38 Automatic Black Texture wears balanced and controlled, with a presence that feels purposeful rather than oversized. The 38mm case sits comfortably thanks to the short 46mm lug-to-lug and slim 10.20mm profile, allowing the watch to hug the wrist without top-heaviness. The textured black dial adds subtle depth, while the sandblasted case keeps reflections to a minimum, giving the watch a quiet, tool-first appearance that feels equally at home in daily wear or more demanding environments.

Textured Dial, Vintage Character

In this black textured version, the dial introduces a subtle layer of depth while maintaining absolute legibility. The textured surface adds visual interest without interfering with clarity, reinforcing the tool-watch character of the design. Applied indexes filled with beige Super-LumiNova recall the warm patina of vintage military watches, while beige and white luminous arrows provide strong nighttime orientation. Together, these elements preserve the functional DNA of the original GG-W-113 layout while giving the watch a more tactile, contemporary presence.

Rooted in the GG-W-113 Specification

Like its predecessor, the Jungle Field 38 Automatic pays homage to the GG-W-113 watches issued to U.S. pilots during the Vietnam War, timepieces defined by legibility, reliability, and purpose-driven design. The defining 24-hour inner ring remains central to the layout, allowing for immediate time reference across multiple zones, while the bold hour markers and high-contrast hands ensure instant readability in all conditions. The “Field” in Jungle Field remains literal: this is a watch designed to be read at a glance, without distraction.
