MWC Vietnam Watch – Military Quartz Field Watch – Classic US Vietnam War Design
The MWC Vietnam Watch recreates the distinctive appearance of military watches worn by American troops during the Vietnam War in the 1960s and early 1970s. Inspired by the original 1968 design, this model preserves the compact proportions, understated styling, and familiar feel of the classic military field watch.
While the original watches used plastic cases and were considered disposable by the US military, MWC re-engineered the design approximately 15 years ago, introducing all-metal construction while retaining the original watch’s recognizable appearance.
QUARTZ MOVEMENT – RELIABLE EVERYDAY TIMEKEEPING
The MWC Vietnam Watch is powered by a quartz movement, providing convenient battery-operated timekeeping in a practical military-inspired design.
- Movement type: Quartz
- Battery type: R626SW, Energizer 377, or equivalent
The battery-powered mechanism offers straightforward timekeeping without the need for manual winding.
CLASSIC VIETNAM WAR DESIGN – INSPIRED BY THE 1968 ORIGINAL
The watch closely resembles the military field watches used by American troops during the Vietnam War era. Its design focuses on simplicity and functionality, reflecting the practical character of the original military timepieces.
- Inspired by the original 1968 watch
- Based on the appearance of Vietnam War-era military watches
- Classic, understated field-watch styling
The updated construction retains the original design’s visual character while addressing the durability limitations of the plastic-cased models.
ALL-METAL CASE – IMPROVED DURABILITY
MWC redesigned the Vietnam Watch with all-metal construction, replacing the plastic case used in the original models. This change improved the watch’s durability and overall quality while preserving its familiar appearance, weight, and feel.

The result is a modern interpretation of the historical field watch that maintains its traditional appearance with upgraded construction.
