The precursor

THE 1918 FIELD & MARINE Waterproof and Dustproof Watch

FIELD & MARINE

Engineered for the trenches. Built for a Lifetime.

The trenches of WWI demanded a watch that could resist water and mustard gas, something that did not yet exist. Charles Depollier, working with Waltham, answered with a bayonet crown, clinched bezel and compressor case-back, a system patented in 1918. More than a century later, that same technology still delivers 1,000 feet of water resistance.

The new Field & Marine models carry it forward:

  • Stainless steel case
  • Exceptional night legibility
  • Second time zone
  • Power reserve indicator

A watch born from American scientific and industrial ingenuity.

MAKING HISTORY. SINCE 1918

The original patent

The bayonet crown of the Field & Marine has been developed on the basis of the original patent granted on January 28th in 1919. In total four patents for screw down crowns have been filed by Depollier and Waltham team between 1917 and 1919.

BAYONET CROWN

A technology from the early 1900s and still today the most robust, reliable and user-friendly one. Together, the decompression case-back, the clinched bezel and the bayonet crown constitute the 30ATM waterproof construction of the Field & Marine.
