MWC LTD Edition GG-W-113 Vietnam Watch GG-W-113-LTD

Description

MWC LTD Edition GG-W-113 Vietnam Watch GG-W-113-LTD   DESCRIPTION:   This Ltd Edition is a recreation based on the original 1960's Vietnam designs but with the interesting feature of being PVD plated making the watch non reflective and covert. The watches at the time were made in a variety of slightly different styles by Benrus, Bulova and Waltham but were all based on an original US government specification laid down at the time. Many of the original watches used a 15 or 16 jewel movement but this one has 17 jewels to improve accuracy. This particular watch came into being because in January 2009 we were approached by a US veterans association who asked us to examine the viability of making a watch which was similar in appearance to the original watches which were made during the Vietnam war. We were sent samples of watches to examine and also the original specification sheeets and the result was a watch which was very close to the original and uses a high grade fully jewelled handwound movement. As a result of making that watch we were contacted again with a view to recreating a limited edition and as a result we are planning to manufacture a range of variants over the next three or four years. The original watches are now almost impossible to find in good sound condition and in mint condition are becoming fairly valuable so this recreation is a cost effective way to own a watch made in the spirit of the original but with a unique PVD black finish.
