Cream/Beige dial field watch recommendations please
Hi folks, I'm after some recommendations for a field type watch with a cream/beige dial.
Looking for it to have a bit of a vintage look to it that would go well with a well worn distressed leather strap.
Ideally at least 100m water resist and be reasonably legible at night.
Budget, up to around £250
Thanks in advance.
Cheers

Couldn't keep collecting pocket knives so started on watches. I like a tool watch or something between a field and a diver, bit of an adventure/expedition type thing. 🍻

Smiths! Everest or Air ministry are my favorites, vintage look, nice cream dials with accents of color, both are sold out right now but it's worth the wait till they're back in stock.. https://www.timefactors.com/collections/smiths/products/smiths-military-prs-29am-1

vintage look or vintage, because if it’s the latter you could clean up with that sort of budget

Probably "vintage" look to be fair
For your consideration… #seiko
Unlike Smiths this company didn't have to be resurrected.

or Merkur when back in stock.
or even a Seagull 1963 if you could accept a Chronograph?

Edit, sorry, saw you updated with a budget. This is clearly outside of that.
In your price range I will second looking on Aliexpress. San Martin, Merkur, Baltany are all decent watches.
Hamilton khaki field
Swiss watch company has a few field watches. They all have amazing lume, are titanium and amounts o AR that’s nuts
Thanks for all the suggestions so far im having great fun checking them out and what they're leading me on to.
So far I'm now looking at the Bulova hack (though the WR could do with being a bit better)
The Timex expedition scout, I unexpectedl really like the look of a brushed steel and tan leather version.
And what might be the front runner so far Boldr venture ivory white.
But I'm still very open, so keep em coming.
Much appreciated.

Now that's a good looking watch! Looks like something from the first world war? Did Vario get some ideas from this for their trench watch?
Any experience with momentum watches? Not a brand I'm familiar with but their Wayfinder GMT is kind of what I'm looking for. (Although I wasn't looking for full lume initially)
Cheers
