Our most creative interpretation of the original A-11 Spec yet, the ""White Patina Leather"" is a jump in the unknown for us - while still carrying the field watch & vintage aesthetic, the white dial does balance out both for a more ""tame"" feel. While the dial design in of itself remains resolutely authentic, the clean white dial base with faux-patina contoured black indexes provides a different experience than on our other variants. The funky minute & hour indexes throw back to a time where these watches were literally hand painted. To add onto that, the volume of the triple printed hour indexes mimic the irregularities that a traditional 1940s paint brush would have left on the dial.With such a creative dial, the case serves to firmly ground the watch in its 1940s A-11 Mil-Spec origins. The main case body is sandblasted to remove any shine; as any self-respecting field watch would. However, as a reference to the original shiny Chrome Plating most A-11s had back in the day, we've opted for shiny lugs.The Brown Leather strap adds flexibility to the field aesthetic bringing the entire watch together as an elegant interpretation of what a fiel watch should be. The leather makes the watch wearable in both a true rugged outfit or, when the situation calls for a little more balance.
