Description

This Service Watch Black Canvas is directly inspired by the A-11 Spec. This watch spec was originally developed in 1942 by the US Military to provide a simple yet efficient timekeeping workhorse for US soldiers.

Our A-11 Service Watch has been modernized to improved precision and comfort for the modern day. Its black dial features luminous indexes designed for readability in low-light environments. We've revamped its movement to the rugged TMI NH35 Automatic Movement for great affordability combined with reliability throughout the years. We offer both 38 & 42mm case sizes for easy readibility and comfort on the wrist.
Finally, as always our A-11s are US assembled and, equipped with a black canvas strap.

Modernized Build: Practical & Accessible

Designed as a more accessible interpretation of the A-11, the Service Watch retains the same 38mm or 42mm sandblasted stainless-steel case while simplifying select components to improve affordability. It is powered by the Seiko NH35 automatic movement, chosen for its reliability, durability, and excellent value. A double-domed mineral (K1) crystal with AR coating replaces acrylic, offering increased scratch resistance while maintaining a clean, functional profile.

American-Assembled: Everyday Field Utility

Assembled in the USA, the Service Watch Black Canvas focuses on essential performance rather than commemorative detailing. Without special-edition elements or upgraded heritage finishes, it delivers the core A-11 experience in its most practical form. The result is a dependable, everyday field watch built for comfort, legibility, and long-term wear—an honest tool watch rooted in military history, stripped down to what matters most.
