FAQs
Does this watch feature an automatic rotor?
No, the Khaki Field Mechanical 36mm features a hand-wound H-50 movement, meaning it must be wound manually via the crown.
Is the strap easily replaceable?
Due to the fixed bars, you should use pass-through or NATO-style straps that slide behind the case.
How often should I wind the watch?
While it has an 80-hour power reserve, winding it once every morning is recommended to maintain optimal timekeeping accuracy.
Can I wear this watch while swimming?
Yes, it is water-resistant to 10 bar (100m), making it suitable for swimming and recreational water sports.
What is the lug width of this model?
The watch is designed with fixed bars, so you must select straps that match the lug width appropriate for the 36mm case proportions.
What is the benefit of the Nivachron™ balance spring?
It provides superior resistance to magnetic fields and temperature fluctuations, ensuring better accuracy over time.
Troubleshooting
Watch stopped running unexpectedly
The watch is manual-wind; rotate the crown clockwise to fully wind the mainspring.
Small scratches appearing on the glass
Acrylic glass is softer than sapphire; use a mild acrylic polish cream and a soft cloth to buff out surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To start the watch, rotate the crown clockwise until you feel resistance. Do not over-wind the crown once you feel the spring is fully tensioned. Because the watch features a manual-wound movement, regular winding is necessary to maintain the 80-hour reserve. To clean the acrylic crystal, use a soft microfiber cloth; for minor scratches, a specialized polywatch polish can be used to restore clarity. Given the fixed lug bars, you should stick to pass-through style NATO straps or similar configurations. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme magnetic fields, although the Nivachron™ balance spring provides significantly better resistance than standard movements.
