About this product
A vintage field watch lives or dies on two things: case diameter and crystal. This Militado ML05B uses a 38mm case — a mid-small size that generally suits wrists of roughly 16 to 18cm, where modern 42mm and 44mm cases feel oversized — with a domed sapphire crystal carrying an anti-reflective coating, luminous markings and a Miyota 2035 quartz movement. Check three points before ordering: measure your wrist, confirm the lug width if you plan to fit another strap, and be aware that a domed crystal sits proud of the bezel and can catch on a sleeve. If the watch stops, remember that a quartz movement normally needs a battery first; ask the seller for the exact battery type instead of guessing, and only treat the movement as faulty if it still will not run. Water resistance, lug width and case thickness are not stated in the listing, so confirm them with the seller if they matter to you.
