SKU Code: NAM/OL/MET/KH

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.

  • Thickness: 8 mm

      Dainty and well-made
      Color: Yellow Gold, Color: Yellow Gold
      These are the perfect size for dainty stylish gold jewelry. Minimalist jewelry is really back in style and these earrings provide a great variety of options at an amazing price! I have a few pieces from Amazon essentials and I’ve been happy with every single one, they don’t turn green on my ears, and I have swam and bathed with them without any issues. I’ve had trouble with some hoops because the clasps wear out after a while, but these seem to be holding up very well. My favorite pair of the three is the chain one, it’s not the picture because I am wearing them!

      Not for those with thicker earlobes
      Color: Yellow Gold
      This is a really cute set with perfectly sized hoops! They look so chic and can complement so many different outfits. The gold color is very nice and shiny. The only downside for me is that if you have thicker earlobes like I do these might not fit or feel very tight. Also the part that goes into your earlobe is not a regular size rod and gets thicker so if your piercing is tiny these might not be the most comfortable to wear.

      Love these hoops!
      Color: Yellow Gold
      These hoops are so cute! They don’t bother my ears at all. I love the size of them, and they can be casual or dressed up. They come in a cute little bags that would be good for gifting them in.

      3 pairs of ear rings
      Color: Yellow Gold, Color: Yellow Gold
      There are three pairs of ear hoops in the package, all golden color. There are in a nice blue bag. Unlike the other ear rings I have, this kind of ear hoops do not require a ring stopper, just like a small clip, which also makes it a little challenging for me to put on them. The thin stick portion through the ear is a little thick. It took me a while to get used to it. But soon I like it. Overall the ring hoops look quite pretty.

      So stinking cute

      i LOVE these sunglass. I found some at TJ Maxx for 12 bucks on sale because they were cracked. Tried them on and new I wanted to find them only. They are not too big for my face, but could be form some people. I wore them every day on vacation in Mexico, and the sunshine did not bother me.
