Each Fieldmaster will include a Stainless steel bracelet, silicone, and a NATO strap.

Canister Watches was founded by an Army Veteran, where as an artillery officer he learned the importance of time. In the field, while on exercises or deployed, a reliable watch is a critical tool. This lesson was learned while on exercises in the Canadian wilderness where breaking a cheap watch became a common occurrence. Our aim is simple, to build great watches that are rugged and dependable tools built for a purpose.

The Fieldmaster. Classic field watch styling with tool watch functionality. For our first watch we built everything we would want in a everyday watch. High quality materials and craftsmanship ensure the Fieldmaster will be a part of your daily life for years to come.

The Fieldmaster is available in black, white, or blue.

There's a lot there to like, I think. I especially think the white dial looks really good.

The dial is a little too busy for me, but it gives a little bit of the Hamilton Khaki vibe. And a Miyota 9015 movement for $ 261 is pretty good value.

With 8 days to go and 83% funded, this is going to be too close to call if they'll be successful or not.

Saw on Facebook that Canister has opened up more preorders for the Fieldmaster directly through their site.
Also, offering CAD 30 off the price, which brings it close to Super Early Bird pricing during their Kickstarter campaign.
