The DD-45

An icon revived but with a twist

The Project

As a young Field Watch Brand, we’ve always wanted to re-interpret the infamous “Dirty Dozen” series. A series of 12 watches commissioned by the British War Office for their soldiers during WW2. These are widely considered the first true field watches ever commissioned by the British War Office. 12 iconic Swiss watchmakers took part; giving the nickname “Dirty Dozen”.

When we started our Dirty Dozen program, we didn’t want to bring the Dirty Dozen aesthetics to the XXIst century. Partly because it already had been done by other brands previously, but, also because we felt it didn’t really fit with our ethos. So, instead of “modernizing” the Dirty Dozen design we tried to do the exact opposite & “vintagize” our homage. The result is a series of 3 dials: a “factory finish” dial, a fully tropicalized dial & a heavily aged dial with true patina luminous.

The DD-45

A Story-Telling Dial

The dial on the DD-45 took two years of development as we aimed at re-creating a “true” patina on both the indexes & hands. Each dial is unique in its patina & truly feels like it is an 80 year-old dial. You can choose how much “aging” you want; from “factory finish” non-patina all the way to a fully tropical brown dial.

The DD-45

Watch Wrist Waterproof

Our Dirty Dozen was designed with the orignal 1940s W.W.W (Watch Wrist Waterproof) requirements in mind. Although we won’t call our Dirty Dozen waterproof, we definitely made sure it’s water resistant in most conditions. Featuring 10 ATM (100m/330ft) water-resistance & a screw down crown, your Dirty Dozen is ready for anything.
