watchdivesMilitado ML05 ML05B 38mm Vintage Field Watches for Men, VH31 Sweep Hands/515/Miyota Super 2035 Quartz Movement Watch, Domed Sapphire Crystal AR Coating, C3 Super Luminous, 100M Waterproof

Great watch and good value

The Militado ML05B is a nice looking ‘military’ style watch that is good value for money. It’s fairly comfortable enough to wear straight out of the box although the nylon strap will now doubt ‘wear in’ further. The luminous dial marks work well in the dark, but luminosity could probably do with lasting a little bit longer. The British ‘broad arrow’ mark is a nice design touch. Overall, looks a great, well made watch at this price point.

I recently got the Militado ML05B 38mm field watch, and it’s been a surprisingly fantastic addition to my collection, especially at its price point. The watch feels rugged yet refined, with a sandblasted 316L stainless steel case that gives it a vintage military aesthetic, and the 38mm size sits perfectly on the wrist—compact, comfortable, and balanced without feeling too small or too bold. It features a domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating, which not only resists scratches but also keeps the dial beautifully visible in all lighting. The Miyota Super 2035 quartz movement keeps reliable time, and the 100-meter water resistance along with a screw-down crown gives it real-world durability, not just style. The dial is clean, legible, and free of excessive branding, which enhances its understated, classic field-watch look. Lume is modest but effective enough for quick time checks in low light, and the drilled lugs make strap changes a breeze. The included nylon strap is decent, though a bit stiff out of the box—it might be worth swapping for something more comfortable if you wear it daily. Overall, the ML05B is a tough, tasteful, and highly wearable watch that offers good value for its build quality and specs, making it a top pick for anyone looking for an affordable field-style timepiece with real substance.
