Full Description
An accurate reproduction of the US Vietnam War pattern military service watch issued to ground troops.
Historical MIL-W-3818B Specification
Issued under the US military MIL-W-3818B specification from 1964 onwards, this design provided ground troops with a non-reflective, dependable combat timepiece. Built to replicate the 1966 Benrus DTU-2A/P contract piece, the reverse is stamped with original contract markings, serial numbering, and the AUG 1966 issue date.
Field Dial & 24-Hour Readout
Designed for operational synchronisation in low light, the sterile black face features high-contrast Arabic numerals with an inner 24-hour track. The luminescent syringe-style hands and perimeter hour markers charge under ambient light to provide clear nighttime readability during tactical night exercises.
Compact Case & Quartz Reliability
The watch measures 32mm across (excluding crown) with a non-glare burnished grey metal housing and a snap-off back. Powered by a modern battery-operated quartz movement, it maintains precise timekeeping without winding and secures to the wrist via an olive green 25cm woven strap.
Complete your Vietnam infantry webbing set or wear it daily as a functional historic field piece.
