The Field Watch II in detail
The Venturo Field Watch II takes some interesting classic designs and effectively brings various inspirations together in a watch for the passionate collectors who value heritage and quality.

The watch comes in at 42mm wide with a thickness around 14mm. This larger watch takes inspiration from models such as the Rolex Oyster Army, a model released in the 1940s that still is as beautiful today. These original Rolex models tend to be around 31mm wide, which for most wrists is a tad too small. 42mm will appeal to a larger range of wrist sizes so it's a logical move from Venturo.

The case has a generous balance of brushed and polished surfaces to help play a part in the modernising of this design. The dial itself has a lovely blue, almost teal sunburst finish to it which when combined with the gilt coloured syringe hands and yellowed lume really gives off a playful vibe.
