Militado ML05 38mm VH31 Quartz Watch – Domed Sapphire

Product Overview

The Militado ML05 38mm VH31 Quartz Watch is a rugged field watch engineered for men who demand durability, precision, and timeless military-inspired design. Built to perform in demanding environments, this timepiece features a robust 38mm 316L stainless steel case with a sandblasted finish that resists corrosion and maintains its understated look over time. At its heart lies the reliable Japan-made VH31 quartz movement, known for its smooth sweep-hand motion—eliminating the distracting tick of traditional quartz movements—and consistent accuracy. The ML05 is designed not just for collectors or outdoor adventurers, but for everyday wearers who appreciate a watch that balances classic field aesthetics with modern resilience.

Every detail of the ML05 reflects practical functionality. From its domed sapphire crystal to its 100-meter water resistance, this watch is built to withstand daily challenges without compromising on style. Whether you’re navigating city streets, heading out on a weekend hike, or working in low-light conditions, the ML05 delivers dependable performance and clear readability.

Key Features

• Domed Sapphire Crystal: The watch face is protected by a domed sapphire crystal, renowned for its exceptional scratch resistance and optical clarity. Unlike standard mineral glass, sapphire crystal maintains its appearance even after exposure to abrasive surfaces, ensuring long-term legibility in harsh conditions. The anti-reflective (AR) coating further enhances visibility by reducing glare in bright environments.
• Super C3 Luminous Display: All hands, hour markers, and the dial feature Super C3 green luminous material, which charges quickly under light and provides intense, long-lasting glow in darkness. This makes the ML05 ideal for nighttime activities, early morning routines, or any situation where quick time reading in low light is essential.
• 100M Water Resistance: Rated at 10 ATM, this watch is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and other water-based activities. The screw-down case back and push-pull crown work together to create a secure seal, protecting the internal components from moisture and dust ingress. However, it is not designed for scuba diving beyond recreational depths.
• Japan VH31 Quartz Movement: Sourced from Japan, the VH31 movement ensures high precision and a smooth, continuous sweep of the seconds hand. This movement is celebrated for its reliability, low maintenance, and consistent timekeeping performance over long periods.
• 316L Stainless Steel Case: Crafted from surgical-grade 316L stainless steel with a sandblasted texture, the case offers excellent resistance to rust, sweat, and environmental wear. The 38mm diameter (without crown) provides a balanced presence on the wrist—substantial enough to feel solid, yet compact enough for everyday comfort.
• Rugged Nylon Band: The black-khaki nylon strap is lightweight, breathable, and highly durable. Designed for active use, it resists fraying and fading while remaining comfortable during extended wear. With an 18mm lug width, it’s compatible with a wide variety of replacement straps, allowing for personal customization.
