Arguably the most authentic version in the collection, the “Original Canvas” closely resembles a factory-fresh A-11 from 1942. The matte black dial with white-silver indexes ensures exceptional legibility, a necessity given the operational demands during WW2. The distinctive minute and hour indexes harken back to the era when these watches were hand-painted. All those minute imperfections in this model have been retained to preserve the authenticity of an original.
The case is available in either a 32mm or in a 40mm size. The main case body is sandblasted to eliminate any gloss, in true field watch fashion. However, as a nod to the original shiny chrome plating found on most A-11s, the lugs are polished.
The green canvas strap firmly places this watch in the field watch category. Designed to be thick and durable, it mirrors the preference of most US soldiers for similar straps while in the field.
