Thorn Bronze A11 Military

Archive · used only

The Thorn Bronze A11 Military was a 36 mm bronze field watch with an NH35 automatic movement. At 36 mm across, no other bronze field watch in the guide is smaller, out of 42. On the maker's specification no steel touches the skin, so the guide lists it as nickel-free. It is no longer made, so this page is a reference for buying one used.
