The Thorn A11 36mm Stainless steel Retro Military Watch is praised for its vintage military aesthetic and 36mm sizing, appealing to enthusiasts of that style, and features a bubble sapphire crystal. One owner notes the watch offers vintage military accuracy and an acrylic crystal, though another points out that a similar case is available from another brand for less. There is uncertainty regarding whether the watch is a true 24-hour model, with one review suggesting it uses a modified NH34 GMT movement. Overall, owners appreciate the Thorn A11 36mm Stainless steel Retro Military Watch for its vintage military style and compact 36mm case size.
