Really the non-screw down is the only deal breaker for me.

why would it need a screw down crown? It’s not a dive watch, so accidentally pulling out the crown is not a problem. And they don’t do anything for actual water resistance - that’s what gaskets do.

The WUS obsession with screwdown crowns is downright silly. They’re mostly a placebo feature.

I see the non-screw down crown as a real avantage here. Nothing to get in the way of quick operation.

So what do you “screw down” people believe a screw down crown does? Because I think you may be overestimating its intended functionality (and missing out on some great watches because of it).

Either way, Hamilton says 100m WR, which should be more than good enough for a field watch.

Doesn't this have the disposable Powermatic 80 movement with the plastic escapement?
