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.
