Flyboy Engineer Automatic — Imperial War Museums Fieldmaster Edition Watches

The Fieldmaster Edition comes out of a partnership between AVI-8 and Imperial War Museums, built around the same priorities that shaped the practical timepieces service personnel actually relied on: legibility, reliability, and nothing extra. It's offered here in four dial and strap combinations — Ashen Flight in black, Wingman Blue, Service Steel in grey, and Field Khaki — split between a printed-index layout and an applied-index dial, so the format can be picked to taste without changing what the watch does.

Each case runs 42mm across, 12.7mm thick, and 50mm lug-to-lug in stainless steel, with a pull-out crown and an anti-reflection coated sapphire lens protecting the dial. Every colorway comes on a 22mm canvas strap with a buckle closure — grey on Wingman Blue, green on Field Khaki and Ashen Flight, khaki on Service Steel — and Japan luminous treatment on the indexes for visibility after dark. The finished watch weighs 85 grams.

Movement comes from a Japanese Miyota automatic caliber running three hands with a date function, keeping the watch free of a battery while sticking to the no-frills approach the rest of the design follows. Water resistance is rated to 5 ATM, enough for daily wear and incidental splashes.
