The Spec 2 Ameriquartz is the most faithful interpretation of a factory-fresh A-11 as it would have appeared in 1942.

It was our first foray into American Built Movements and we’re glad to say it was a true success. So much so that it’s now one of our oldest collections available.

This Service Watch White Dial is directly inspired by the A-11 Spec. It was originally developed in 1942 by the US Military to provide a simple yet efficient timekeeping workhorse for US soldiers.

Our A-11 Service Watch has been modernized to improved precision and comfort for the modern day.

The Tom Rice collection started with a real A-11, worn in combat, lost by Tom Rice in the ocean when he deployed in Normandy on D-Day.

We met Tom in 2019. Sat with him. Heard it straight from the man himself. That conversation is why this watch exists.

Today, the collection grows. Same DNA, new ways to carry it, now available with Bonklip bracelets and Bund leather straps alongside our original configurations.

Which one would you wear?

Vince Speranza is a WW2 101st Airborne machine gunner most known for his heroics defending Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge (Dec. 1944). He rose to popularity as it became known that he had been collecting beer in his helmet to bring to his friends in the hospital. Demobilized in Jan. 1946, Vince returned to New York where he then wrote “Nuts! A 101st Airborne Division Machine Gunner at Bastogne” - his memoirs of Bastogne. In 2022, we brought his experience in Bastogne to life through the A-11 Vince Speranza; designed directly with the veteran himself.

The Pathfinder 44 Bastogne Edition is crafted from authentic WWII T-5 camouflage parachute fabric, sourced near the Battle of the Bulge.

You asked and we listened! Two new straps are now live and they change the whole feel of the watch. Same dial. Same piece of history on your wrist. A whole new way to wear it.

The DD-45 carries forward the iconic Dirty Dozen field watch DNA, updated with modern durability, powered by an Ameriquartz movement and assembled in the United States. It’s another step toward restoring American watchmaking.

The response to the DD-45 so far has been incredible! We’re curious, which one’s your favorite?
