SKU Code: ST/NAM/BLK

Our Vietnam Watches are virtually identical in appearance to those used by American troops during the Vietnam War in the 1960s and early 1970s. While these watches closely resemble the original 1968 model shown in the final image, the originals were made of plastic and considered disposable by the US military. The initial specification aimed to create a cheap and simple "campaign" watch for infantry and other MOS (Military Occupational Specialties). The W46374 spec was a cost-effective alternative to the MIL-W-3818B, calling for a non-maintainable watch in a plastic case, powered by a non-hacking movement. It required minimal water resistance, protection from shock and vibration, extreme temperature tolerance, and sufficient luminosity for nighttime visibility. The original 1968 watches had a green olive plastic case and a diameter of just under 36mm, making this watch identical in terms of dimensions and general appearance.

Transition to Metal Casings:

Over 20 years ago, we decided to transition from plastic to metal construction for the entire range of these watches. This change addressed the shortcomings of the original plastic models. The MWC design team rethought the watch while retaining the original appearance. This upgrade to a metal case and a hackable movement resulted in watches that are vastly superior in durability and overall quality to the 1968 originals while maintaining the original watch's appearance.

      Cute visor
      Size: One Size, Color: Navy
      This hat fits my smaller head perfectly. I like the length of the brim and the height of the hat in the front as I have some that are too big. It was comfortable even after wearing it on a longer day of golf.

      Really nice, comfortable and well made.
      Size: One Size, Color: Black, Size: One Size, Color: Black
      I got two of these to replace a couple that I had bought at thrift stores and just wore until they are threads. They're difficult to find anymore unless you buy them brand new. These adjust easily with the velcro, they quickly absorb sweat in the thick band. It provides good protection of my face when I'm outside working during the day in the Sun. They feel like they are quality, the fabric is smooth and silky, the stitching is tight and they're not heavy on my head. The brim is thick enough to block all the Sun, the lining is soft and fuzzy against your skin. Great value, priced nice for the quality.

      Cute visor but very bright
      Size: One Size, Color: Lime, Size: One Size, Color: Lime
      This is a super cute visor, got it for softball - fits well (adjusted small enough for a 10 year old girl and big enough for an adult woman) and the quality is good. Dirt brushes right off. But the color is very bright, it IS a neon green which we weren’t expecting, but we like it, my daughter thinks it’s super cute, so we are keeping it! I discovered it is super hard to get this color to photograph well, so the picture the seller has probably is the best they could do. After messing around with it for far too long I think I got an accurate representation of the color in my photo.

      Good Stuff from Good People
      Size: One Size, Color: Silver Grey
      Light weight but durable. Inexpensive but still classy. I sought out Augusta Sportswear because they're good people. Their quality products are reliable. They care.
