This Luxury Field Watch is Amazing! - Vertex M100A

We had our hands-on with the Vertex M100A and were blown away at the quality of this timepiece. Custom Sellita movement, raised lumed numerals, solid case and a rich history... the watch is so good we had to buy one. The M100A isn't cheap but you get a lot of watch for your money!

I have my late father's Vertex circa 1944, still going strong and keeping good time and I wouldn't part with it at any price, it'll be passed on to my grandson who knows it's history and that it's one of the Dirty Dozen.

Love to hear more about the Dirty Dozen

I’ve owned the first-generation manual-wound Vertex M100 for just over two years and it remains one of my favorite watches. On a green NATO strap it is an essential part of my US Army uniform, but on the Vertex bracelet it is a go-anywhere, do-anything (GADA sport watch. On a Milanese mesh it is an extremely comfortable business-casual, while on standard the black leather strap it goes from blue jeans to full suit-and-tie. This and my Rolex Milgauss are the most versatile watches I own.

Thanks for your review! Absolutely love the look and design..it’s really singing to me. Keep coming back to this one. I just feel the price is a little too high for the movement. Damn! It deserves a better movement. Beautiful watch.

I'm not fussed about the story behind the brand but love the aesthetic of the dial, block lume material cut Arabic numeral and, 6'o'clock second hand feature. I may have this as my second in my collection.

Very very nice. But that price...boy oh boy😮... You can almost purchase 3 Timors for it! Also with Sellita movement..

Nice review, solid background story, cool watch. Just liked & subscribed.

A fine looking watch. Although, I snorted my coffee through my nose when you quoted the price. When you can buy a cwc W10 with a mechanical Swiss movement for 550 quid - I think this takes the mick.

Thank you for your review of a beautiful watch with an great history. Completely subjective but, for me, the watch with that dark brown strap with contrast stitching is a killer. I like how it dresses up the watch. Would like to hear more about the Dirty Dozen watches.

My favourite field watch. I’d love to see one in person, the finish looks extremely high quality.

[Tiketack]

Does the vertex m100 has a ghost position on the crown with the automatic sellita caliber?

[JasonTheWatchGuy]

Absolutely incredible watch with an incredible history!

[grahambell]

A dirty dozen video would be grand, thank you!

[JakeSpencer-fi]

Can someone tell me what the “molded” material is on the arabics and indices?

[anandmorris]

Given the history and story of these watches, it is worth all of that money in every way. As a proud Brit, I'd feel far more proud wearing this than a similar priced iwc or breitling.

I’d love to hear more about the dirty dozen.

I have an automatic "equivalent" new watch [ Baltany UK], which cost me £155 including P&P. It has a Seagull 1701 movement. The original DD watches were manual of course. My watch is superb: I replaced the original tan leather strap with a very nice black leather one-courtesy of Timpsons, for about £13. All together, a very worthwhile purchase in indeed.

[Judas_Phart]

I would be very interested in hearing more about the “dirty dozen” watches.

[phouliscostantinou]

Familiar watch I remember fixing some along with the Omega, Cyma, Timor, Rekord, Smiths, Hamilton, Grand Prix, etc I worked for a guy who bought surplus stuff from the British military bases where I used to live back in early 70s, I was still a student in high school made my pocket money charged peanuts like 5 - 10 shillings each😂😂😂😂😂😂

In the late 1960s (I am now 67) the army surplus stores many dirty dozen range for sale, take your pick from a pile that looked like a shovel full heaped them in the window LCs IWCs Cymers It was take your pick for 30 bob thats £1.50 in todays money not much in retrospect but 3 or 4 weeks paper round money .but if I had known then it would have saved me spending £900 on a new Timor a couple of years back.or £2000+ on a nearly 80yr old beat up WWW.Oh the pain of hindsight .
