Field Watch Edition One If the first timepiece from LANG 1943 is any indication, this is a significant new player you’re going to want to keep an eye on. The inaugural watch, manufactured in Switzerland, pays homage to vintage field watches worn by soldiers during WWI and WWII. But it also has the air of a something a sporting British country gentleman would have worn decades ago, playing polo or racing his Bentley. With clear, classic lines, easy-to-read dials, perfect manufacturing processes, and carefully chosen materials and components, the FieldWatch Edition One represents a modern take on cherished designs. Not everything about the watch is entirely modern, though, as both the design and the mechanical heart of the timepieces originate in a bygone era: it’s powered by an original Marvin base movement manufactured in Switzerland in the 1960s and updated to modern technical needs. The beautifully designed movements show the hours, minutes, and seconds. This reduction to the purest of timekeeping functionalities without distraction is what makes the watch not only impressive in its Spartan beauty but also a testament to the legacy of Mr. Lang. Precision, unique mechanics, and historically inspired design, combined with the reliability of modern production methods, make LANG 1943 one to watch. 170 | Simply Abu Dhabi
