| Jord Fieldcrest Series in Dark Sandalwood |
The
Fieldcrest Series ($120 USD) consists of men watches in a super simple and sleek design. Available in four different colors, the watch features a 3.9 cm wide face made with a scratch-resistant mineral glass. I picked the Dark Sandalwood design with a dark chocolate brown sandalwood strap and case. The watch has a metal deployment buckle closure with push buttons and I'm thoroughly impressed with how smooth and well-crafted the strap is. The watch is very lightweight compared to other watches I've owned in the past, although the size of this one is definitely more suitable for men.
Jord offers free strap-sizing options for all their watches. I sized mine using the instructions provided online but the watch still came way too large. Therefore, I will have to get this resized at a watch shop although I am tempted to it on my own (the removable strap links are connected with a small pin). The watch is splash-proof but Jord does not recommend water submersion.
Overall I am really impressed with the feel and the craftsmanship of this watch. Jord offers a wide range of styles for men and women. Fieldcrest is definitely one of the simpler designs in the bunch but I'm certainly interested in checking out a few of the flashier designs as well.
