MWC Olive 1970s Vietnam War Pattern Military Watch on Matching Webbing Strap
SKU Code: NAM/OL/MET/KH MWC’s Vietnam Watches are virtually identical in appearance to the watches used by American troops in the Vietnam war during the 1960s and early 1970s. As mentioned above the actual US Military Issue olive models in the 1960s and early 1970s were made of plastic because they were deemed disposable, of course, the problem with MWC making their own Vietnam watches in plastic is they would have been in effect be very basic just like the originals with all the same durability issues hence they decided to completely rethink the watch and whilst keeping the original appearance, weight, size and feel switched to all-metal construction across the whole range which means that although the watches look very close to the originals (see the last image which shows an original watch and spec sheet) these are vastly superior in both durability and general quality.
