This watch is virtually identical in appearance to the watches worn by American troops in the Vietnam War. Unlike those timepieces, however, this modern version is built to be a bit more durable—the ones during the ’60s and ’70s were plastic and designed to be disposable. Because of its size (36mm including crown) and price, it’s perfect for camping, hiking, and not worrying about. It’s the basic watch for your active life that just happens to come with a bit of history.
