There is something that we love about the simplicity of a field watch here at The Coolector and the guys at Towson Watch Company, a new purveyor of timepieces on our radar, have just released their first series of field watches with their Recruit Vs Cadet offering. Serving as the perfect introduction to the watchmaking talents of Towson, the Recruit Vs Cadet Watches are just as accessible to military recruits and cadets as well as new collectors and professionals alike.
Priced at $1250, the Recruit Vs Cadet Watches from Towson serve as the perfect entry point to the luxury watch market and they offer both style and substance in spades. This is a series of two automatic field-style timepieces with standard functions that include hour, minute, sweep-second and date. Purpose-built for heavy use and seasonal wear, this will be your go-to on a daily basis. The unusual palette, intricate detailing, and classic aesthetic evokes sophisticated taste and quality and will effortlessly stand up to any adventures you find yourself on in 2023 and beyond.
The Recruit Vs Cadet series has to be clean and easily readable at night and to achieve this, Towson have used an indicating hour + minute with a constantly rotating sweep-second from the centre. It boasts Arabic numerals in a good readable contrast to the military olive green/navy blue dial background. The hour markers are bar-shaped with a luminous layer and at the 12 o’clock, you’ll find a luminous-filled triangle that marks the position in low light conditions.
Encased in German stainless steel and boasting hand-finishes with truly intricate detailing, it’s hard not to fall for the Recruit Vs Cadet Watches from Towson and we’ll definitely be looking to get our hands on one here at Coolector HQ. The decorated Swiss-Made movement is revealed by the exhibition display on the back which adds a real touch of class to the proceedings. Each one comes equipped with a hand-stitched leather strap and signed Towson Watch Company buckle. Reference number CR250 is engraved on the back with a unique serial number. After a luxurious, top-performing field watch? Towson have got just the candidate.
