Astor + Banks Terra Scout

Owners praise the Astor + Banks Terra Scout for its compelling value and well-executed sandwich dial. The watch features a La Joux-Perret G100 movement regulated to +/- 8 seconds per day with a 68-hour power reserve, and offers 200 meters of water resistance within a compact 38.5mm case. Some reviewers noted a desire for a no-date configuration. On balance, owners and reviewers find the Astor + Banks Terra Scout a well-priced and compelling field-style watch.

From video reviewers

The watch's classic proportions meeting modern aesthetics result in a solid and substantial feel. The layered sandwich dial with a dedicated minute track is a thoughtful execution of the brand's design language. The watch's water-resistance is not mentioned, potentially leaving users uncertain about its capabilities.

The watch features a satisfying 120-click coin-edge bezel with minimal back play and comes with two straps for $239, powered by a Miyota GM12 quartz movement offering a three-year battery life.
