S. government established specifications for military timepieces under MIL W 3818B, which replaced the earlier MIL W 3818A specification from March 1956.

SKU: GG-W-113S25

The GG-W-113 infantry watch originated in October 1962 when the U.S. government established specifications for military timepieces under MIL-W-3818B, which replaced the earlier MIL-W-3818A specification from March 1956. These watches were primarily manufactured by Hamilton, Bulova, and Benrus during the Vietnam War, and they remain iconic in military watch history.

In January 2009, MWC collaborated with a U.S. veterans association to recreate this legendary model. Using two original watches and their detailed specifications as references, MWC developed a modern homage. This recreation features a 24-jewel automatic movement with a hacking function, maintaining the spirit of the original hand-wound movements while incorporating a rotor for automatic self-winding. It also retains the ability for manual winding, offering versatility.

In 2025, MWC further enhanced the GG-W-113 by upgrading the water resistance rating to 100m/330ft this upgrade along with the box sapphire crystal provides superior shatter and scratch resistance while preserving the authentic look of the plexiglass crystals used in the 1960s and 1970s. The result is a watch that is visually indistinguishable from its vintage counterparts but benefits from modern technological advancements.

The original Benrus model provided in 2009, dated 1965, exemplifies the historical accuracy of this recreation. As shown in the final image, MWC's homage remains true to the design and proportions of the era while improving functionality and durability.

This modern GG-W-113 is a perfect option for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a reliable, daily-wear watch that captures the aesthetics and legacy of Vietnam-era timepieces.

Sapphire Crystal Benefits

Why Sapphire Crystal?
Sapphire crystal is the gold standard for watch crystals, offering unmatched strength, scratch resistance, and shatter resistance. These qualities make it ideal for military personnel, police officers, and active outdoor enthusiasts, who collectively represent over 70% of MWC’s customer base.

Advantages:

  • Durability: Over 90% of cracked watch crystals are made from mineral glass, even when hardened. Sapphire crystals are significantly more resilient under adverse conditions.
  • Heat Treatment: Sapphire crystals undergo a manufacturing process that removes internal stresses, resulting in exceptional strength.
  • Anti-Reflective Coating: Two layers of coating enhance legibility in various lighting conditions.
  • Modern Applications: Sapphire crystal is now used in devices such as the latest iPhones, showcasing its premium quality.

Though sapphire crystal comes at a higher cost, its durability and performance make it a worthwhile investment for higher-end watches like the GG-W-113.

This watch represents a seamless blend of heritage and modernity, making it an exceptional choice for collectors, military history enthusiasts, and those seeking a rugged yet stylish timepiece for everyday wear.

Shiny Hair? Yes please
Scent: Onion Unscented
I have used this product just a few times since buying it. It made my hair shiny and smooth. Very minimal frizz. I bought it after doing research on how women helped their hair before all these hair products came out and Onion water was one of the top answers. After believing that I wanted onion smell in my hair, I came across this product and it actually smells SO NICE. After blow drying my hair, my hair was fuller and bouncier. I saw a difference right away. I have seen less hair in my shower drain and I honestly couldn't be happier with this combo.

Excellent product at a very fair price
Scent: Caffeine
I have been using the caffeine version of this shampoo and conditioner for a little over three months. I like to give a new shampoo and conditioner about three months before concluding if it’s a hit or a miss. Originally, I was using the biotin version of this shampoo for approximately two years and was very happy with the results. I needed to reorder, so I was looking over the other options in this same brand. This brand is considered to be a good quality product. I did do a bit of research before originally purchasing the biotin version. The biotin version is a lightweight product that did not weigh my hair down with build up over several uses. I ended up needing to use a clarifying shampoo only about once a month, as opposed to once every week. I have very fine, thin hair and a lot of products I have tried over the years have not worked for me because of the heaviness that leaves my hair flat. I did not have this result with the Bellisso Biotin shampoo. Bellisso is very well priced, and in my opinion, is comparable to more expensive salon products. I do like to try new things, so trying a different version of a brand that I was already happy with seemed like it didn’t come with much risk. Comparing the two versions, biotin vs caffeine: The biotin option worked very well on my fine, thin hair. The shampoo had a bit of a lower amount of foaming, but it did get my hair clean. The biotin conditioner also worked well, and was easy to rinse out and did not leave a residue on my hair. The caffeine version is very different than the biotin version, but neither in a good way or a bad way. Just different. I noticed that much less product of the caffeine shampoo and conditioner is needed to get the job done. The amount of product needed is probably highly dependent on your particular hair, so keep in mind, I probably have less hair than most people. The shampoo foams ALOT. I didn’t mind this at all. Per the instructions on the bottle, you are supposed to apply and massage your scalp and rinse after 2-3 minutes so the caffeine can be absorbed into your scalp, so having that extra foaming helps. This is meant to stimulate circulation in the scalp, and promote hair growth. If you are the girl that is always in a hurry, this is probably not the version of this shampoo for you :) The caffeine conditioner goes a very long way, so best to start with half as much as you normally use and go from there. All in all, I’m happy with both versions and I would definitely consider trying another version of this brand. I would highly recommend this brand in whichever version suits your personal hair type and needs. The price is right, as is the quality.

Gotta Buy Them All!!
Scent: Keratin
I currently have these sets: - Rice Water - Keratin - Biotin - Cleanser I have been a hairstylist for about fourteen years and have tried EVERY expensive, professional salon brand product out there that promised great results for moisture, repair, scalp health, etc. and none serve the purpose for more than a day or two. These products have been a game changer. I have very curly, fine-medium strands with high density that is consistently dry, brittle, extremely frizzy, and tends to clump together with most products I have used that promise to repair and assist. I started using the cleanser (I recommend using it ONCE a week at max -- it exceeds the expectations and will leave your hair feeling stripped and dry if you use it too often) to start with, to remove build-up. My hair obviously felt incredibly dry after this, so I washed a second time with Biotin and then finished with the biotin conditioner -- for the first time in years, my hair feels AMAZING. It has been three days since the last wash. My hair typically feels heavy and weighed down after the first day. I usually braid my hair lightly and put it in a silk bonnet and I wake up with it having absorbed any bit of moisture it can, and it still felt like straw. After two uses of the biotin, I am able to go 3-4 days between washes and my hair and scalp still feel light, fluffy, fresh, and my hair is incredibly soft. My curls went from loose, messy waves to finally retaining the curl pattern again. My hair isn't breaking off every time I run a pick through it. I can actually easily detangle it while the conditioner is in, and was able to leave the conditioner in for a treatment overnight and it felt even better. My roommates have been using the various ones I have gotten for us, as well, and expressed really enjoying working with their hair again afterward. It responds well to other products cleanses really well afterward. Just a reminder: Most of these are sulfate free. You will not get much in the way of bubbly lathers from this, but your hair WILL be clean. Work it into your hair for 3-5 minutes before rinsing the shampoo out and even let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing while you do everything else. More does not equal better -- this product goes a long way! We just purchased the Apple Cider Vinegar and Nettle formulas and I'll update if they are not as great as the others!

Buy it!!!! Amazing!!!!
Scent: Rice Water
I purchased the Rice Water set..... And let me tell you, I don't think I will ever go back to using anything else!!! I have only used once as I just got it yesterday, and I am truly blown away by the outcome already!!! My hair is extremely, unbelievably damaged from blonde and excessive heat. It has been breaking and thinning like crazy and really just makes me cry sometimes! (I am also 40 so there's that age factor too. I have just started on several quality vitamins, I've decided I will lay off going to the salon and let the blonde grow out, and I have been avoiding heat for a couple weeks now but it has still been super dry and brittle). Well one use of this shampoo/conditioner set and my hair is SO SOFT, SMOOTH, AND SHINY!!!! Like whaaaaat?!? And it smells absolutely wonderful! Not an overpowering perfumy smell, but just a very soft, subtle, and sweet smell! This is definitely a keeper!!! Buy it girl, you won't regret it!! 🙌🏼🥰

Works right away
Scent: Purple
Perfect for wanting your blonde to be on the white side and not yellowish or brassy look. Great of upkeep in-between salon visits. Hair feels moisturized after and soft. BE CAREFUL as this does STAIN your hands and white in the shower / bath. Rinse it off your hands immediately. Bleach will remove any drops or drips. Has a ton. of pigment in it so everything must be throughly rinsed. (no need to freak out first time but it is a bit messy so be prepared but results worth it)
