This watch is virtually identical to the watches used by American troops in Vietnam during the 1960s and 1970s. This version retains the same feel as the original with greatly improved durability and all the benefits of a metal case. In 2009 MWC were approached by a US veterans association who asked them to examine the viability of making a watch which was indistinguishable in appearance from the original watches which were made by Hamilton, Bulova and Benrus during the Vietnam war. The result is a watch which is very close to the original and uses a high grade fully jewelled handwound movement - in appearance, the two are virtually indistinguishable. The originals of these watches are now almost impossible to find in good sound condition but this watch is a very convincing recreation. This watch is made by MWC who are one of the leading suppliers of official watches to the military, police forces and government departments worldwide. There are many over-priced imitations on the market, but we guarantee that this watch is a genuine MWC model. This item is genuine military issue but unused.
