93% of key specs known. Missing: hardening.

Quartz "Dirty Dozen" field watch after the 1940s British Army W.W.W. watches, with a black dial, Arabic numerals, railway minute track and small seconds at 6. Militado sells it on three listings with the same dials, straps, price and text, all describing the current "V2 version" (slimmer case and rehaut than the earlier one, better AR sapphire). Brand specs: "Japan" VD78 quartz, 316L case and case back, screw-down case back and crown, domed sapphire with "Clear AR Coating" (side not stated), "Swiss Super lumious" lume, 36mm without crown, 43.48mm lug-to-lug, 12mm including the crystal, 18mm lugs, 70g (what was weighed is not stated), 100m. The Tactical Frog store's older listings give 11mm "not including glass". The Pencil, Cathedral and Sword dials are black with different hands; Brown Sunburst (snake hands in one listing's option name) and Tuxedo (a black dial with a silver centre, pencil hands) were added later. Each dial comes on a brown leather (black for the Tuxedo, per the SKUs), black nylon or green nylon strap at the same price. On 2026-10-24 Militado's price was $69 on all three listings, with every version sold out, so status is unknown; the Tactical Frog store listed the black dials at $79.99 (Pencil and Cathedral in stock) and its UK-warehouse listing at $69 (sold out). The listings were created in August 2023.
