Gavox Bastogne 1945 turns a Belgian wartime story into a compact field watch

The Gavox Bastogne 1945 is a Belgian-designed field watch created with design-contest winner Lorant Sarkozi. Its name and visual language refer to the defence of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge in December 1944. Cathedral hands, Arabic numerals and warm-toned modern luminous material establish the military character without reproducing a historical watch.

The stainless-steel case measures 36 mm across and approximately 45.8 mm lug to lug, with a sapphire crystal and 100 metres of water resistance. A Miyota 9015 automatic movement supplies about 42 hours of power reserve. Reviewed on 3 July 2026, the model offers a compact, wearable interpretation of a history with particular resonance for a Belgian watchmaker.
