About this entry

79% of key specs known. Missing: weight, hardening, end links, clasp micro-adjust.

Date version of the ML08, a 38mm field watch with a polished bezel and a date window at 3, powered by a 'Switzerland Ronda 515 Quartz Movement with Calendar'. Two dials: Black Date (an A-11-style field dial, sold as 'Black Dial-Ronda 515 With Calendar' on the 'Vintage Field Watch' listing) and Texture Pattern (on the '369 Dial' listing; its option doesn't name a movement, but it has a date window and the brand says the calendar versions use the Ronda 515, so that is recorded). The no-date VH31 versions on the same listings are the ML08 (VH31). Brand specs: 316L case, fully brushed with a polished bezel, 38mm, 44.5mm lug-to-lug, 10.2mm including the crystal, 20mm lugs, double-domed sapphire crystal with 'High Clear AR Coating' (side not stated), screw-down crown, brushed screw-down case back, 100m; lume 'Super C3 Green Light/Super BGW9 Blue Light'. Each dial comes on a nylon strap or a steel bracelet for $20 more (three links per row in the photos; the '38mm VH31 Retro Field Watch' listing describes it as 316L, 20mm tapering to 16mm, 21.5cm long, split pins, a clasp with four micro-adjust positions and the Militado logo, about 70g; clasp type and construction not stated). Weight is not stated. Prices on 2026-10-24: $69 on nylon, $89 on the bracelet, all in stock. The listings were created in August 2024 and October 2025. Three more Militado listings with the same specification text sell this model: 'Retro VH31 Military Watch' (created July 2024; Black Date as 'Black Dial-Sword Hands-Calendar' and a Green Date dial), '38mm VH31 Retro Field Watch' (steel bracelet only, December 2024; Black Date and Texture Pattern at $89) and 'Sapphire Crystal Field Watch ML08 Grey Dial' (March 2025; all three dials, with black or brown leather straps). The last names the Texture Pattern's movement as the Ronda 515 and its title calls that dial grey (it photographs grey-green). Green Date: green sunburst dial with Militado logo and date at 3, $69 on nylon, $72 on leather, $89 on the bracelet, in stock on 2026-10-24; leather on Black Date and Texture Pattern $69, sold out. Two more Militado listings with the same specification text sell this model: 'VH31 38mm Sapphire Crystal Field Watch ML08 White Dial' (created April 2025; movement line 'Japan VH31 Sweeping Second Movement/Swiss Ronda 515 with calendar') sells Black Date as 'Black Dial-Sword Hands-Calendar' and Green Date as 'Green Dial-Calendr-ar-Ronda515', each at $69 on nylon, $72 on black or brown leather and $89 on the bracelet (leather sold out on Black Date; that dial's bracelet SKU says '无日历', no calendar, against its option name, which is followed). 'New Released 38mm Field Watch Ronda 515 Movt Watch ML08' (created 2026-10-22; movement line names only the Ronda 515) adds two dials with 12 and 6 numerals, baton indices, the broad-arrow logo and a date at 3, Black Baton and Cream Baton (the store calls them 'Black' and 'Cream'), at $79 on nylon (sold out) and $89 on the bracelet (in stock) on 2026-10-24; their photos show green lume.
