Love pilot watches, thanks for this video.

Longines spirit should be #2.. same score as IWC but 1/3 the price

1. IWC mark XX 2. Longines Spirit (normal date model) 3. Breguet type XX 4. IWC big pilot 5. Blancpain air command 6. Longines big eye 7. IWC pilot Chrono 8. Stowa flieger 9. Laco fliger pro 10. Sinn 903 11. Breitling navitimer 12. Hamilton khaki aviation 13. Seiko srph

I would take a look at some of the fliegers at Islander watches.. at the affordable end.

Kudos for having the guts and endurance to produce a 6-hour video! I admit I haven't watched anywhere near all of it, but I admire the way you took the time and effort to rate them and do it properly, on actual features. I guess the only thing is that the vast majority of buyers are firstly constrained by price - if you were spending a ton of money would your first choice be a field watch? I've never seen the point of spending more than a few hundred quid on a watch to be honest, and if I were to use it in a relatively hostile territory I would want something I didn't mind getting beaten up too much, and on that basis would spend as little as I could get away with. I bought the Boldr Venture, very well made, similar price point to the Bertucci and better legibility. Great from a legibility point of view although I'm not a fan of the font used, but I would replace at least one of the Bertuccis in the top 10. Great watch for the price. Love the Minus 8 Field 1s but agree with you on the spacing and size of the numbers, it just doesn't look right. Shame because apart from that the case and design is superb.

Such an amazing resource for the watch community, thanks for the huge effort. God bless you and your family

Really appreciate your Hardwork for making this video

great job on this.

I was wanting a top 5 hand winding and then suddenly it appeared in bonus content. I have the Laco Pro B dial and I would like a manual wind flieger as well. Thank you

Have you ever done a top 5 or 10 tritium tube watch?

Still at the beginning of the video. I disagree with you on shock resistance. A military pilot will inevitably be exposed to extreme forces that may lead to knocks and bangs.

Awesome video and a lot of effort as usual! I dont agree with you on the heritage of some of the brands(for example Citizen has less heritage than Christopher Ward? Citizen is both older and more esteemed with a list of firsts.) but I am enjoying the video! Thank you for sharing Ben! I will be watching it in several sessions haha!

Wow, totally impressive how thorough this is! The amount of time you put into this must have been huge. Subscribed!

Thanks, will absorb as time allows. Appreciate the work that went in behind this production.

Oooooohh yeaaah

Movement reliability, precision and accuracy is also an advantage.

I believe a day/date complication is always an advantage, however, not in the regular 3 o'clock position. All in all ur videos are quite amazing, all the best.

After the video, I've been notified of the following additional watches: 1. Messerschmitt ME-3850-PL - score of 80, longislandwatch.com/messerschmitt-38-5mm-black-and-orange-type-b-aviator-watch-me-385opl/ 2. Autran & Viala Night Flight quartz - score of 74, www.autran-viala.com/NIGHTFLIGHT/NightFlight-Quarz/440/NightFlight.-LB 3. Aristo Flieger 3H80 - score of 77, www.amazon.de/Aristo-Uhr-klassische-Fliegeruhr-Minuterie/dp/B002U0JL58

I absolutely lost it when you started playing violin at 22:02 ! As a classical music enjoyer whose favourite instrument is violin (I actually bought one but haven't started yet due to studying for my collage exams lol) and a hardcore watch nerd, it brings me so much joy to see other people with the same passions and hobbies as me. I wish you the best in all chapters of your life! You are a good man!

You have absolutely right about Bertucci. If combine some specs of different Bertuccis you can have the perfect field watch. I'm gonna buy the A-2ts because of solar, welded lugs, and screw down crown, but I don't like sapphire, I don't like date complication. The A-2s could be the perfect field watch if it was solar. Cudos to you for over five hours video. Thanks m8. 👍

Hello! In Minute 2:27 you mention a Watch called Mark 3 Crucible i cannot find it anywhere.. can anyone help me out or maybe send a link! Thank you! Best regards!

Keep in mind that a lot of folks just like the field watch esthetic, and won't care about half of Ben's points criteria here. E.g.: The only water my watch will ever see is an occasional couple of rain drops.

Church priest talk about watches

I think this is a good watch... 2024 Tandorio 40mm vintage NH35 movement, 20ATM , sapphire crystal, screw down/crown guard

Seaholm Rover watch in the 1000 to 5000 range checks off a lot of boxes but not shown here

Wow! The algorithm has done a decent job in recommending this to me. Fascinating stuff. I actually have and really like an SRPJ85 (it's my daily watch), but I totally agree that slightly less would be rather more in terms of the dial. I think it's genuinely pretty beautiful already, but I would say that wouldn't I? You're spot-on that it's not really a true field watch. I'd actually buy and wear that iteration (flatter crystal, quartz, no complications) if it did appear...in theory it'd be half the price, but we know the likely reality! But I'm truly grateful for your research here - I've now got so many options for my true apocalypse watch!

I’m gonna get one love the unusual hu.

Hello again, I watched that video so many times.. what will be your score on that one? : PMD56-2951. Thank you

I personally like the Timex T45181

Incredible. Thank you for your work

A little mistake I spotted is that Lorus (1:01) literally has 10 bars written on the dial, which would equate to 100m. The video says 50m.

I love the bible verses brother!!!! Keep them coming !!!! Bit to long of a video tho😂😂

Great review! Probably gonna buy this watch if I ever win a competition lol. Btw what's the hymn played at the end?

Just buy a Marathon GPQ.

Thank you for creating this amazingly thorough list of field watches. It's incredible how many companies have entered this arena.

Great review of the MacGyver watch….I’m surprised you didn’t mention that detail. He wore the Timex Camper for the first 3 seasons.

Amen to the ending of this video. Amen. Jesus is the only way, brother. Keep up the evangelizing.

Made in Germany with Japan Miyota mechanism 😂😂

1:16:49 the only argument I could make for automatic/hand wind >quartz in your specific situation is the long-term use of the watch in a post apocalyptic world where batteries are a finite resource. So it’s not just annoying to do a battery charge. It’s likely not even possible.

Thank u for your efforts! Love your Lists content.

I have not wached this video but I have subscribed, liked it and commented as such an amount of work deserves it. I will probably watch 10 minutes a day probably for a month.. You Sir are a Legend. In the future (when you decide to make one about divers 😉)I would divide the video into parts to help with the monetization which is well deserved.

Rip hamilton and cw

could you give us your list as text please?

Great review

This channel is needed for selecting a watch. Your dedication to the watch community is greatly appreciated. It's great to have an honost breakdown and see all the options, hope to see more videos coming!

An interesting piece! Dont know if I would use that backlight a lot but I can imagine it would be frustrating to change it rather often. The case and raised bezel looks good! The strap looks great too! That six HOUR video was awesome. Cant imagine how much effort that must have been. All in all a great watch! Indeed, God deserves our honor and worship and not our blasphemy. Have a great weekend Ben!

Fine review Ben. Think you can get these from Marc.

OOOHHH GOD IS NOT A NICE PERSON . MANKIND WILL SOON BE EXTINCT ON THIS PLANET ANYWAY 😮😮😮😮😮😮

Voww, this is crazy good. Thank you so much. Can I get your opinion on the Seiko SNK805K2 Field Watch, please

Althouh I disagreed on some of your picks, actualy a lot, I REALLY enjoyed the video and how much effort you took to grade the watches based upon your scoring. I found a lot of watches I’ve never heard of and I really appreciated your time to make this.
