Looking for field watch

¡Hola!

So, I am looking to get a nice field watch to have in the collection as I don't have any. The only problem is the size, as I see most good examples come in 40mm or more. I know the classic field watches used to be more in the 36mm mark and in my case I want to get as close to that as possible.

I would love to see the IWC 324001 repped, but as far as I know there's no replica of that. The 36mm Rolex Explorer would also fit, preferably a 1016 but a 114270 would also work, of course. Even a Panerai but I don't think those behemoths come in small sizes anymore...

Are there any good field watches on the 38mm or under mark? Because I can't find any!

Hi buddy, does it have to be a rep? Hamilton and Marathon have some great field watches in that size...

You are absolutely right sir, might have to look into those. The Khaki Field is a good classic, although the ones with the features I want (date + automatic) are on the slightly big side. I might just be happy with the pair I already have!
