Micromilspec Expands The Milgraph Collection With The New T5
The Norwegian brand Micromilspec continues to expand its lineup of rugged tool watches with the introduction of the Milgraph T5, a model that links the brand’s early military development with its current civilian collections.
Although Micromilspec only entered the broader consumer market relatively recently, the company has spent years designing watches for military units. One of its earliest experimental projects was the Field Testing Unit (FTU) prototype, developed specifically for demanding operational environments. The new Milgraph T5 takes inspiration from that early concept while remaining part of the brand’s Milgraph chronograph family.
Titanium Case Built for Utility
The Milgraph T5 features a 42 smm case crafted from Grade 5 titanium, a material known for its durability, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties. The case keeps the distinctive destro configuration, placing the crown and chronograph pushers on the left side at 9 o’clock. This arrangement can enhance comfort on the wrist by preventing the crown from pressing against the back of the hand during active use.
The watch is also equipped with Micromilspec’s QuadGrip bezel, designed with four deep recesses that provide additional grip and make it easier to operate, even when wearing gloves. The bezel incorporates a 60-minute scale, allowing the wearer to measure elapsed time when needed. Complementing its robust construction, the watch offers water resistance of up to 200 meters, making it suitable for challenging environments where exposure to water or harsh weather conditions may occur.
Monochrome Dial with Functional Layout
A defining element of the Milgraph T5 is its sunray-brushed dial, which is finished in a color that closely matches the tone of the titanium case. This approach creates a cohesive monochrome appearance, reinforcing the watch’s utilitarian aesthetic.
The dial layout emphasizes clarity and functionality. The chronograph display is arranged through sub-dials dedicated to measuring elapsed hours, minutes, and running seconds, ensuring legibility when timing events. A GMT hand with a red tip adds a subtle visual accent while allowing the wearer to track a second time zone, a practical feature for travelers or professionals working across different regions.
Automatic Movement with Dual Complications
Powering the watch is the La Joux-Perret L121 automatic movement, a Swiss caliber that integrates both chronograph and GMT complications within a robust architecture. The movement provides a power reserve of approximately 60 hours, allowing the watch to continue running for more than two days when not worn.
Bracelet and Strap Options
The Milgraph T5 can be configured with either a titanium bracelet or a rubber strap. The titanium bracelet features a satin finish that visually matches the case, giving the watch a cohesive and technical look. Alternatively, the rubber strap offers a lighter and more casual option, which may be preferable for everyday wear or more active situations.
Limited Production
The Micromilspec Milgraph T5 will be produced in a limited annual run of just 35 pieces, highlighting its exclusivity within the brand’s lineup. Pricing starts at € 3,500.
Combining a lightweight titanium construction, chronograph and GMT functionality, and design cues inspired by the early FTU prototype, the Milgraph T5 reflects Micromilspec’s continued focus on creating robust and functional watches designed for demanding conditions while maintaining a clean and modern aesthetic.
