No. It's most likely a Timex. Screen shape and button are similar to this model: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000TIJ72/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_GDrdvb1ZGG3J6

From a grunt's perspective a field watch should be:
Tactical IE not shiney.
Have a back light feature IE Indiglo/Illuminator.
Having a date function is nice.
Durable.
Not too expensive right off the bat, because it's gonna get murdered in the field anyway.
Being digital helps even the dumbest rocks understand the military 24 hour time format.
Long battery life.
Alarm function is pretty nice, so you can wake yourself up (for light sleepers).

My recommendation is your basic digital Timex Expedition or Casio Illuminator. Go simple, go basic. Can't tell you how many of these "cheap" but ultimately reliable watches I've destroyed.

If you want to go +$100 with a Suunto Core or the Casio Pathfinder, you better buy them a few extra batteries, because it'll drink a battery dead in about 6 months. So never deploy with just the battery inside it.

Timex Men's T48042 Expedition Digital

Price: $31.92

Movement: Digital Quartz

Style: Digital utility watch

Size: 39 mm

Crystal: Acrylic

Link: Amazon Listing

Description:

The main display is a 12/24 hour time display with seconds, day of the week, month, and date. Has a chronograph with split times for lap timing, countdown timer that can be set to repeat, and three alarms.

When I was shopping for a wristwatch without knowing much about watches, I figured I would rather get a mechanical analog later that would "beat" several times a second, rather than a quartz analog with a loud stepper motor "ticking" away.

I picked the Timex Expedition for its:

High visibility display (A big, simple screen compared to the case size, with reflective backing in the display called "All-Day Indiglo" on top of the push-button "Indiglo" backlight. Easy to use in any light condition)
Stiff buttons (to avoid accidental button depression in water, which would compromise water resistance)
Smaller size (I was considering a G-Shock but the massive size would make the watch look ridiculous on my 6" wrist)

Personal note: It is comfortable to wear 24/7-365-days-a-year with a leather NATO strap. And the leather strap does not look out of place with the watch.

Picture of the legibility with the help of the reflective backing.

I've had this for almost eight years, and it's fantastic, pretty cheap too.
