Sunshine State of Mind - A Bright Field Watch With Attitude From Prevail
We often avoid Quartz movements on The Wind Up BUT the Prevail Onward Future Field Watch Explorer in Sunshine Orange is one of those watches that makes you smile before you even tell the time. Bold in colour yet smart in purpose, this is a field watch with personality designed for everyday wear and adventure alike.
Prevail has taken the classic military field watch formula and reimagined it for the modern wrist. It embraces the rugged simplicity that has made field watches timeless but adds enough thoughtful design touches to feel fresh and contemporary.
A Watch That Stands Out
Most field watches stick to muted tones but the Explorer in Sunshine Orange is impossible to ignore. The bright dial gives off a feel good vibe while remaining incredibly legible. Large numerals and a classic 12 3 6 9 layout make reading the time effortless whether you are on a trail or navigating the city streets.
The case is matte stainless steel with fixed lugs that frame a recessed sapphire crystal. At 42 millimetres it feels substantial yet the shape keeps it comfortable on the wrist. With water resistance rated to 200 metres it is ready for rain showers, beach swims or unexpected dips in a river. The single pass nylon strap is practical, easy wearing and perfectly suited to the watch’s adventurous spirit.
Under the Hood
Beneath the cheerful exterior beats a reliable Swiss quartz movement. It keeps time accurately and simply, just as a field watch should, and requires no winding, making it grab and go ready. One especially nice touch is that part of the proceeds from this watch support veteran health initiatives, giving the Explorer a purpose beyond looking great on the wrist.
Wearability and Character
Despite the 42 millimetre case, the watch wears compact and comfortable thanks to the fixed lug design. The nylon strap is functional and easy to wear but leaves room for strap swaps if you want to change up the look. The Sunshine Orange dial keeps things fun and lighthearted but does not feel gimmicky. It is bright enough to stand out but grounded enough to pair effortlessly with casual outfits or outdoor gear.
Winding Things Up
The Prevail Onward Future Field Watch Explorer in Sunshine Orange proves that practical watches do not have to be boring. It blends rugged capability with playful style and a story you can feel good about. If you want a field watch that works as well on a campsite as it does in town, this is one that deserves serious attention.
