Bulletproof?

Happy with my purchase of the Redwood Field V3 solar. It's hearty, durable and accurate. I haven't tested to see if it's bulletproof, but it's taken everything I've thrown at it.

Very close to my personal ideal

I'll start with the relative downsides: there is no calendar or time synchronisation (my previous everyday watches had both). But after wearing it for almost a month, it no longer bothers me, because I have a calendar on the wall or on my phone, and I can live with a 10-second inaccuracy per month.
What I like: a clean, instantly readable dial. If you're 20, this seems like a pointless advantage, but at around 40, an ophthalmologist will confirm that it's a plus. And the lume on this thing in honour of the same ophthalmologist shines at night no less brightly than the moon.
Size: for my 17 cm (slightly south of 7 inches) hand, it is ideal in terms of both diameter and height. And no need to change the battery! Although it is neither expensive nor time-consuming, the awareness that it needs to be monitored is not exactly what I want.
Would I recommend this watch and brand? Absolutely. Am I good at writing reviews? Not really.

Stylish, comfortable daily watch

Really enjoying wearing my Field v3 Stealth. I like the build quality, comfort of the nato strap and luminosity of the dial in poor light. Most importantly the quality and pricepoint put Redwood on the map. Buyers will not be disappointed.

THE REDWOOD FIELD V3 WATCH

Heritage-Inspired. Rugged. Assembled in Canada.

“We know how hard it is to find a watch with the right look, a solid build, and a fair price. That is why we started Redwood.”

The Redwood Brothers

"It's hard to imagine that there are many better options out there today"

"That’s a whole lot of character for the money"

"Inspired by one of the most influential early military dive watches ever made"

"Feels more like an ode to past generations than a revamped iteration of the classic design"

WW2 MEETS MODERN TECH

In the 1940s, the A-11 military standard established detailed specifications for a field watch that later became the de facto standard issue timepiece for the USAAF and eventually infantry and ground forces. One of its features was the ability to stop the seconds hand to sync time with the commanding officer.

Our inspiration for the Redwood Field watch was dubbed the "watch that won the war". Reinterpreted with modern dimensions and updated technology, it is ready for anything you throw at it. Even though most of us will never be wearing our watch on the battlefield, it is powerful knowing it has a strong historical background and the means to back its looks.

HIGH CONTRAST DIAL & HANDS

As is to be expected for a military tool watch, one of the most important aspects the A-11 spec was legibility of the dial and hands. The Redwood Field's high-contrast dial is devoid of unnecessary details and features large numerals for quick and clear reading. The pencil-shaped hour and minute hands are all business and the high-contrast red second hand helps confirm correct movement operation with just a glance.

BULLETPROOF CASE CONSTRUCTION

The design of the Field watch case is the embodiment of form following function, with a no-nonsense, rugged, all-stainless construction. The most noticeable update to the A-11 spec is size. Whereas period watches had a diameter of 32-33mm, the Redwood is a modern 40mm, the sweet spot for a field watch. The brushed finish reduces unwanted glare. The massive lugs are insurance against failure. They are drilled for convenient spring bar removal. The Redwood Field watch is also equipped with an oversized screw-down crown for easier operation.

STORM-READY WATER RESISTANCE

A critical requirement for period field watches was a waterproof and dustproof case to protect the movement from the harsh combat environment. The Redwood Field v3 watch stays true to the mil-spec spirit and uses modern technology for a reliable 100m/330ft of water resistance. To achieve this rating, both the crown and caseback are screwed-down and equipped with high quality seals.

UNSCRATCHABLE SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL

The Field v3 is equipped with a flat sapphire crystal. Being one of the hardest materials - rated at 9 on the Mohs hardness scale (diamonds rate at 10) - it is very scratch resistant. Its flat shape also minimizes the risk of scratching it. It is mounted with special seals to ensure water tightness. Its 1.5mm thickness is designed to withstand the strong hydrostatic pressure experienced underwater.

ENERGY-INDEPENDENT MOVEMENTS

With its solar-powered movement, the Field v3 watch offers a superior level of durability that will last you through any adventure. It is fully independent from external power sources.

The Field v3 watch is equipped with a miniature solar panel behind the translucent dial. A short exposure to sunlight or strong artificial light provides up to 12 months of power. A massive upgrade compared to the manual wound original A-11.

POWERFUL LUME

Original standard-issue watches did not feature any luminescence and had limited use in low light conditions. Radioactive substances such as radium and tritium were later used to provide illumination, causing safety issue during operation and disposal. Redwood uses non-radioactive Super-LumiNova pigments, a major improvement over period tech. The pigment appears white in daytime conditions and produces a strong greenish glow in low light after exposure to light or UV. All three hands as well as dial numerals and/or markers are coated in luminescent material.

MILITARY-STYLE CASEBACK

The screw-down caseback of the Redwood Field v3 watch might appear cryptic for the uninitiated with several lines of coded text engraved into the solid stainless steel piece. In a tip of the hat to government-contract timepieces, the caseback features important information about the watch including model number, type of movement, water resistance rating, date of manufacture as well as manufacturer contact information.The screw-down caseback ensures that the watch is completely watertight and protected from water damage.

CANVAS POUCH INCLUDED

Each Redwood Field watch is shipped in a heritage-inspired watch pouch. Borrowing design elements from the M56 Compass bag, the sturdy watch pouch is made of a thick 18 oz. cotton canvas. It features 2 slots for the watch and tools or replacement straps.

“Hey team!

Just wanted to send a word of compliment. I’m a big watch guy [...] But let me say, Redwood has blown them all out of the water. I need watches that are more than just accessories, but functional tools. I’m a firefighter/paramedic in a high call volume city in the US. My wife bought me a Redwood Tactical Frogman for Christmas. It came in the mail and I am blown away. This is by far my new favorite watch. It is insanely lightweight, crazy well built and the Lume in as good ifnot better than my luminox. Thanks for making such a high quality time piece, and please don’t stop changing the watch game”

Jay H.

“Dear Redwoods,

I received my watch today. About a week early! So far my experience with your company has been a delight from a quick answer on chat, to fast shipping and a watch that arrived set to the correct time.

Oh, yeah, and I love the watch - it is everything I hoped it would be! Keep up the good work. You definitely performed on your three promises! Sincerely”

Gary S.

“I’ve been a field-watch person [...] for many years. Not a big collector, not a watch scholar, just an appreciator and one who wears his field watch day and night. I stumbled on your website a few weeks ago, and I have to say that your Field v2 has quite stolen my heart. There are other field watches out there with the uncrowded Explorer-type dial, but I find there is something too mechanical and human-centered about them [...] for me the Redwood Field evokes taking low-key hike through the woods, or quietly putting one’s garden to bed on a late-fall afternoon—or any way of being at home in a world one recognizes as larger than oneself. I cannot think of a way to improve the overall look of the watch.”
