Probably the most authentic variation of the collection, the "Original Canvas" looks & feels like a factory fresh A-11 from 1942.
The matte black dial with white-silver indexes provides unparalleled legibility although that is not surprising given the operational requirements back in WW2. The funky minute & hour indexes throwback to a time when these watches were literally hand-painted. We've kept all of those micro-faults in this variation to keep the feel of what an original would have been.
The case is probably where we've had the most creative intent. The main case body is sandblasted to remove any shine as any self-respecting field watch would. However, as a reference to the original shiny Chrome Plating most A-11s had back in the day, we've opted for shiny lugs.
The Drab Green Canvas strap pushes the rest of the watch firmly into Field Watch territory. Built to be thick & tough it makes sense that most US soldiers opted for similar straps when in the field.
