During the Vietnam war, many military #issued watches were built to be replaced. Not repaired. Not preserved. Under the later iterations of MIL-W-46374, several heritage brands produced plastic-cased watches—some were even monocoque design, completely sealed and impossible to repair. They were issued in volume and discarded when they failed. For the military, the format was right. 34mm. Black dial. Manual wind. Nothing extra. Our modern #GeneralPurposeMechanical keeps that format intact but with one important upgrade: it isn’t disposable. Built to MIL-PRF-46374, with a serviceable case, #tritium illumination, and a reliable #mechanical movement that still serves as a failsafe when other timing instruments fail. Same design philosophy. Upgraded expectations. NSN: 6645-01-696-8182 #bestinthelongrun
