What About the ML18?--$84USD
The 36mm ML18 is worth considering if you prefer a compact field watch, but its current listed starting price is around $114, so it does not meet the strict $100 budget.

Our advice: Choose the ML08 for versatility, ML05 for value, ML14 V2 for a compact fit, or ML1868 for chronograph functions. Check the selected variant, current price, and availability on the official Militado website before ordering.
Prices and specifications may vary by configuration and change over time.
