Militado D12 "Dirty Dozen" Field Watch
36mm, vd78 quartz movement, snake (cathedral) hands. AR coated sapphire crystal.
Not sure why but I expected this to be bigger, but its so light and comfortable I really can't complain.
There's actually zero branding on my version.

Simple but effective design. Enjoy! P.S. Snske hands? Cathedral hands

the hour hand is shaped like a snake head, I'd of said cathedral too, but listed as snake on description.
it's a lovely looking watch mine just arrived.
I had the Baltany automatic version. Probably my favourite watch design. 👍
Very cool! I just bought a Militado a couple of weeks ago and have been liking a lot! Enjoy!

itit'the same watch as a baltany identical. lume slightly not as good but 50 dollars cheaper
How is the lume on the Miltado?
Cool watch!
Hey I posted this not too long ago. My little nephew really liked it and was eyeing it. So I decided it make a good first watch of his. He never takes it off! And because it’s a bit small it fits his wrist! I imagine in maybe 5-10 or so years when he’s old enough, I’ll have a little watch buddy. 😂

I saw a video where the reviewer of a Baltany was asked by Baltany not to buy a Militado watch as they have copied their designs. But how original are Baltany watches?

Its average, definitely better than a Pagani though.

That is ironic considering the history of the D12 design. Sounds like a joke to me.
Posted this picture in another thread, but I think it's pertinent here to have a side-by-side comparison of the Militado with a genuine 1945 'Dirty Dozen' original.
It's a pretty close clone IMO, and would scratch the itch for anyone that likes the look of a dirty-dozen but doesn't have 1K plus to spare on what's, let's face it, really a fairly basic 17 jewel wind-up watch. Especially since most of 'em, like mine, are now past their prime, looking decidedly shabby, and don't even keep accurate time without an expensive overhaul.
Oh, FWIW, despite being bought as a 'Militado' brand, my example bears no logo or maker's mark anywhere outside or inside the case. It does have what appears to be a genuine Japan TMI VD78A calibre inside it though.
