Australian Army 125th Anniversary watch

Australian Army 125th Anniversary — the first 125 pieces are a numbered edition. Built to honour 125 years of the Australian Army, 1901 to 2026. A field watch made for the people who serve, and the people who put their name down. The first 125 pieces are individually engraved 001/125 through 125/125. After that, the watch continues, without the numbering. Be first to secure one of the 125. Included in the box: 316L stainless steel oyster bracelet Field parachute strap Quick-release spring bars for tool-free strap changes Made to order. 10-week production once your order is confirmed. Free worldwide shipping. AUD $75 from every watch goes to a veterans' charity. This watch started with the people who would wear it. It began with Dan. He ran a poll to his community and came back with 407 people who wanted it built. That is the number that started this, not a marketing plan, a show of hands. From there it became a watch. Sketches. Revisions. Months of back-and-forth on the things that matter, proportions, the dial layout, the weight of the inscription on the caseback. What you see is what we landed on, together. The design earns its field-watch name. The grainy black dial, the texture of ground in a low afternoon sun. The applied numerals with Old Radium lume, readable in the dark, the way a field watch has to be. The bead-blasted case, no shine, no glare, no jewellery polish. The watch The dial A grainy sandy-textured black dial, made to catch light the way ground does in a low afternoon sun. Applied numerals in Old Radium luminous, painted to match the warmth of aged tritium. A sunken small-seconds sub-dial. White printing on the chapter ring, kept minimal. The dial reads bausele, nothing more. The hands Bead-blasted silver hour and minute hands, filled with SL-Old Radium luminous. A flat sword profile, the kind of hand that disappears in daylight and reappears the moment the light goes. The seconds sit in a small offset sub-dial, bead-blast silver, no decoration. The case 316L stainless steel, 38mm wide, 46mm lug-to-lug. Fully bead-blasted with an anti-fingerprint coating, matte, hard-wearing, no glare. Box sapphire crystal with internal anti-reflective treatment. 7mm screw-down crown in the same bead-blast finish, holding Australian earth from a site of Australian Army service. 10 ATM water resistance. A Miyota 82S5 automatic movement sits inside, chosen for reliability under field conditions and ease of long-term service. 1901 to 2026 — In Service of the Nation The screw-down 316L caseback is engraved with the dates that bracket 125 years of the Australian Army, 1901 to 2026, and the line "In Service of the Nation." The first 125 watches are individually engraved with their edition number, 001/125 through 125/125, and the inscription "AUSTRALIAN ARMY · 125 YEARS · 1901–2026." Beyond 125, the inscription remains but the individual numbering ends. Australian earth in the crown. Every Bausele carries a piece of Australia inside the crown, sand, soil, something physical sealed in a chamber. That is our signature. For the 125 Field it is Australian earth, taken from a site of Australian Army service and sealed into the crown. The ground they served on, on the wrist. Two straps, both in the box Oyster link bracelet 316L stainless steel, 18×16mm oyster-link construction. Three-link design with a 5.5mm jubilee centre link, screw sizing pins, fixed end-links with quick-release spring bars. Ratcheting clasp for on-wrist micro-adjustment, fits a swollen wrist after a long day, fits a cold-morning wrist before coffee. Parachute strap 18mm elastic parachute strap. HOLDFAST steel hardware in full bead-blast to match the case. No leather, no clasps to wear out, just elastic webbing that moves with the wrist. Quick-release spring bars mean you can swap between them in under a minute, no tools. 125 pieces, 125 years The Australian Army traces its founding to 1901. 2026 marks 125 years. We are marking the year by engraving the first 125 watches as a numbered edition, 001/125 through 125/125. After the first 125, production continues. But the engraving stops. If you want one of the 125, reserve early. Numbers are allocated in order of confirmed reservation, with priority to current and former Australian Army personnel. Built-in giving. AUD $75 from every watch sold goes directly to a veterans' charity, supporting current and former soldiers and their families. No fanfare, no marketing add-on, it is part of the price. Buy the watch, support those who served.

Frequently asked questions When will my watch be delivered?Production begins once we have confirmed enough reservations to start a run. Estimated delivery 2026 for the first 125 pieces. Can I choose my edition number?Number allocation is handled in order of reservation, with priority to current and former Australian Army personnel. We will confirm your number when production begins. What happens after the first 125 are gone?The watch continues to be available, same design, same components. What stops is the individual edition numbering. Numbers 001/125 through 125/125 are the numbered edition; everything after that is standard production. Do I have to choose between the bracelet and the parachute strap?No. Both come in the box. Quick-release spring bars let you swap between them in under a minute. Is this watch only for serving members?No. It is open to the public, with priority allocation for current and former Australian Army personnel and their families. What is the difference between this and your standard Elemental?The 125 Field uses a Miyota 82S5 movement (Japanese), a 38mm case, and a field-specific dial design. The standard Elemental uses a Swiss Sellita SW200 in a 40mm case. Both are made by Bausele in collaboration with Evertime. Is this watch Swiss Made?No. It is Australian-designed and uses a Japanese Miyota automatic movement. It is not Swiss Made.
