"The Grunt" US Vietnam War Pattern Military Service Watch
"The Grunt" US Vietnam War Pattern Military Service Watch
These are fantastic reproductions of the 1966 Benrus DTU-2A/P. It was among the first to be issued under the new MIL-W-3818B standard the US government called for. They asked for "an accurate, disposable, and non-maintainable watch, in either plastic or metal, to be issued to infantry and other ground troops during the Vietnam War".
Each watch features:
- A black dial with white luminous numerals
- Battery-powered Quartz movement
- An inner track for 24-hour readings.
- A 25cm olive green wrist strap, which is held in place by spring bars
- The watch face encased in a burnished grey metal housing
- A snap-off back casing
- It measures 32mm across, not including the crown
- The reverse is stamped with a serial number as well as the date, ‘AUG 1966’
- A flat brown presentation box with silver text
- Each watch has a maximum wrist size of 23cm
These reproduction US Service watches would make a great addition to your Vietnam impression or to use as an everyday watch.
Please note: To see the full effect of the luminous numerals, the watch will need to be exposed to light to effectively 'charge' this feature.
