Aera reimagines its rugged M-1 Field watch with the M-1 Dune, a limited edition of 300 pieces featuring a distinctive dusty pink dial. Inspired by the desert-camouflage Land Rovers of Britain’s elite SAS regiment in the late 1960s, this 39mm hand-wound timepiece combines military heritage with modern craftsmanship. Built from 904L stainless steel and powered by a Sellita SW216-1 movement, the M-1 Dune balances stealth, durability, and a unique sense of style - just as its legendary namesake once did in the sands of the Middle East.
Aera introduces a new, dusty pink-dialled take on its M-1 Field watch. The M-1 Dune borrows its unique shade from the late 1960s elite black-ops regiment, the SAS and their desert-spec, pink- painted Land Rovers.
In late 2024, Aera debuted the M-1 Field and M-1 Blackbird, two contemporary hand-wound models inspired by classic military-issued field watches. The field watch has long been appreciated for its purposeful design. Rugged, simple and functional, they were designed to do a job and built to last. We took this concept a step further with the M-1, simplifying the design and using top quality materials including 904L stainless steel.
We feel particularly rewarded with what we came up with. Now, we thought it was time for a little fun, and the M-1 Dune is the result. In the same 39mm package, and with our signature dished dial and pebble-shaped case, we’ve overhauled the M-1 with a distinctive pink colourway. It’s a shade that might be recognisable to the military historians out there.
