FIELD-1 Mission Timer® Lithium-Ion Quartz
When your phone dies at 2%, what time is it? Ten years. One battery. Zero apologies. The same case, dial, and lume as our automatics — serialized, guaranteed for life. Why does a six-man shop bother building a quartz this hard? ↓ Built by Hand. Backed for Life. Your Mission Timer isn’t pulled from a shelf — it’s built from scratch, by hand, by a team of five American artisans in our small-batch workshop. We machine every steel case, assemble every movement, and test every component in-house. Nothing is overlooked. Nothing is rushed. How It Works If your model is in stock, we’ll ship it immediately. If not, you’re looking at a 1–2 week build window. That’s how long it takes to craft, test, and ship your Mission Timer — start to finish — without cutting corners. We believe you deserve the attention to detail of 1 watchmaker, 1 watch. Your watchmaker assembles your piece personally, from case prep to final seal. Why We Do It This Way We don’t mass-produce inventory that sits on shelves. Instead, we manufacture in limited runs — purpose-built, mission-ready pieces that reflect our values: precision, durability, and American grit.
