Watch Description

Limited to 200 pieces annually: In 2019, MICROMILSPEC launched a test program by distributing 30 timepieces to military personnel within the Norwegian Armed Forces. The goal: to rigorously test the watches in the field and report back on performance and accuracy. These watches were purposefully designed and stripped of all decorations from the bezel, crown, and caseback. A deliberate choice allowing users to easily trace and document their watch’s lifelines.

 

The Field Testing Unit

A key feature of the FTU is the 'Synch at 12,' which instructed the participants of the test program to photograph the watch face at noon. This unique feature, combined with the data sets on each dial, enabled MICROMILSPEC to remotely monitor the performance of individual watches in real-world conditions.
