I noticed that Militado quietly updated the ML05 case to have a 46mm lug-to-lug, compared to the original 47.5mm. I’ve had the new version for a few weeks, and it’s fantastic. This honestly fixes one of the only moans/niggles I had with the ML05.

Hopefully the pictures do it justice (new version is on the right). It feels like the original was optimized for nato straps. By contrast, the new version seems optimized for two-piece straps, and natos still work fine. It looks like this is about as short as they could make the lugs without adding relief cuts to the case (like the ML08). The gap between case and strap is basically gone.

Kudos to Militado for improving what was already an amazing watch!
