Although I cannot give you practical advice on how to teach them to read it. But the models they have generally fulfill your criteria and are relatively robust.

Other watches
I also think that a soviet watch would also be good since they were made specifically for the military or other military watches
FlikFlak from swatch is the way to start for sure. Or any small seiko watch with a mini nato - extra holes will work.
Below was the evolution to some extent starting around ten. Get them hooked early. All the mini watch have been outgrown but still remain in the collection. ...
Cheers eklektik!
Flik Flak does seem to be THE go! I will get one for the little man this week
If you only look at the dial, it could be considered as subtle...
