The Shinola Runwell Watch is one of favorite modern releases because it combines Swiss-made parts, Motor City construction and a sleek style that few watches can deliver. We were more than a little bit excited when Shinola announced a military-inspired version of the classic timepiece with the Runwell Field Watch you see here. This special-edition Runwell Field Watch–codename RFW–is a timepiece that celebrates Motor City innovation, can-do spirit and overall grit with an enhanced depth rating of 10 ATM, a utilitarian dial (complete with thick printed luminous numbers and indices with a white outline), quick-release nylon strap and a 41mm stainless steel case finished with a carbide coating for increased durability. In other words, this mil-spec watch is rated for absolutely everything you could wear it through while also being incredibly easy-to-read throughout–even in the dark. This is the watch you want to be wearing when the shit hits the fan.
