Camp Fieldtimer Watches

Here at The Coolector, we’re always on the lookout for timepieces that effortlessly combine quality craftsmanship with a sense of adventure—and the Camp Fieldtimer Watches (£714) do just that. With a Swiss heart and a California soul, these watches are crafted in Switzerland but designed with the laid-back, vibrant spirit of Los Angeles. This dynamic fusion results in a collection that embodies the sun-drenched culture and colours of Southern California, all while being powered by the reliable precision of a customized Sellita SW210 mechanical movement.

The dials on the Camp Fieldtimer Watches are something truly special. Each dial is crafted from fifteen layers of stove-enamelled Berlac Swiss lacquer, creating a rich, polished finish that’s as deep and lustrous as it gets. The process involves hand-rubbing and oven-curing each layer for an impressive total thickness of 1.3mm, ensuring that these dials stand out as some of the most luxurious on the market. Floating atop this sea of vibrant colour is a mid-century-inspired typography that adds a playful yet sophisticated touch, making each dial feel like its own piece of art.

The case of the Camp Fieldtimer initially looks like a classic field watch design, but it’s full of clever surprises upon closer inspection. Made from 316L stainless steel, the case is built to eminently wearable proportions of 39mm in diameter and 10mm in thickness—perfect for any wrist size. The deceptively simple curve of the case creates the illusion of a floating midcase while cleverly concealing the exposed lug holes, giving it a sleek, seamless look. A boxed double dome sapphire crystal is framed by a thin, polished step bezel, while the triple gasket crown and water resistance up to 100 meters ensure that this timepiece is ready for anything, whether you’re hitting the trails or just enjoying a laid-back weekend.

Camp goes above and beyond when it comes to versatility. Each Fieldtimer comes with not just one, but three different straps: a buttery full-grain Italian leather strap for those more refined occasions, a water-resistant Cordura nylon strap for outdoor adventures, and a steel Bonklip-style bracelet for a classic look. All of these straps are delivered in a custom leather watch roll, making it the perfect companion for travel or adventure.

At the heart of the Fieldtimer lies the Swiss hand-wound Sellita SW 210-1 calibre, offering an accuracy of +/- 12 seconds per day and running at 28,800 vph (4Hz). The movement features 18 jewels, Incabloc shock protection, and a power reserve of 42 hours, ensuring reliability and precision. The sapphire exhibition caseback reveals the customized train wheel bridge, adorned with the hidden Camp logo—a nod to the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into each watch.

For those who love the thrill of adventure but also appreciate classic style and impeccable craftsmanship, the Camp Fieldtimer Watches are a perfect blend of both worlds. Swiss precision combined with Californian creativity makes these watches a must-have for any discerning collector looking for something truly unique.
