Description

The Jungle Field 38 Automatic Matte Black is the most utilitarian expression of the Jungle Field evolution. Built on the same GG-W-113 foundation as the original Jungle Field Automatic, this version prioritizes function above all else, stripping the design back to its essentials while benefiting from upgraded materials, construction, and a modern automatic movement.

The Jungle Field 38 Automatic Matte Black applies the same upgraded construction to the most utilitarian execution of the design. The 38mm case offers a confident yet disciplined presence, remaining slim at 10.20mm with a compact 46mm lug-to-lug for long-term comfort.

Finished in sandblasted 316L stainless steel, the case suppresses glare and wear, staying true to military tool-watch principles. A flat sapphire crystal and screw-down caseback reinforce durability.

Inside, the Miyota 9039 automatic movement delivers dependable mechanical performance in a clean, no-date layout. Rated to 10 ATM, this version is built for real-world use while remaining faithful to the Jungle Field’s military origins.

On the Wrist

The Jungle Field 38 Automatic Matte Black is the most understated and utilitarian on the wrist. Its glare-free dial and fully sandblasted case keep visual noise to a minimum, reinforcing its field-watch character. Despite the larger 38mm size, the slim profile and compact lug-to-lug ensure it wears clean and unobtrusive, slipping easily under sleeves while maintaining strong legibility at a glance. The result is a watch that feels disciplined, functional, and built to be worn without drawing attention to itself.

Matte Black Dial, No Distractions

The matte black dial removes all unnecessary reflections, reinforcing the watch’s purpose as a tool rather than an accessory. Printed white indexes deliver maximum contrast, while beige and white luminous arrows provide strong low-light visibility. This execution stays closest to the functional spirit of wartime-issued field watches, where legibility mattered more than decoration.

A Pure Field-Watch Interpretation

Inspired by the original GG-W-113 pilot watches developed for U.S. military use in the late 1960s, the Jungle Field 38 Automatic retains the core principles that defined the specification: clarity, restraint, and reliability. The 24-hour inner ring remains a functional centerpiece, while the simplified dial layout ensures the time is readable instantly, under any conditions.
