The CADET is Towson Watch Company’s modern American field watch—rooted in military tradition, finished with Maryland pride. It was born when Naval Academy midshipmen came to Towson seeking their first mechanical timepiece, and it carries the bold navy-and-gold livery of the Blue Angels with purpose. Honoring the core field-watch code—legibility, durability, restraint—the CADET adds a distinctly American confidence. Its 40 mm stainless-steel case houses a decorated, hand-regulated Swiss automatic movement, fully visible through a sapphire exhibition back. The navy dial features an engine-turned center, gold numerals for crisp daytime clarity, and Super-Luminova for low-light visibility. A twist-off bezel and fully serviceable build reinforce its mission-ready nature, while refined finishing elevates it beyond standard issue. This is utility with quiet prestige—and a patriotic story, strapped to your wrist.

Released in 2022 alongside the RECRUIT (Ref. CR250-R), the CADET marked the beginning of Towson Watch Company’s inaugural field watch series. Named to reflect the formative stages of discipline, purpose, and personal advancement, it speaks to those on a path—whether in uniform or in life.
A purpose-built instrument rooted in military watchmaking tradition, the CADET was designed by Hartwig Balke, TWC Co-Founder and Master Watchmaker. His utilitarian philosophy is executed with care and precision—never rushed, never compromised, and always intentional.
Each CADET is prototyped, decorated, regulated, assembled, and tested by Towson watchmakers in Maryland, U.S.A., using components from our long-standing partners in Pforzheim, Germany. Every step is managed by Towson Watch Company, ensuring the integrity of the process from start to finish. Only our hands touch it before it reaches yours.
This watch reflects Hartwig’s personal journey—from a trained engineer in Germany to an American watchmaker and business owner. His craft remains rooted in tradition, but his perspective has been shaped by the freedom to pursue his vision on American soil, just miles from the waters he sails and the workshop he calls home.
