The brand that distributes timepieces to members of the United States Army, government agencies and airlines has released a watch almost identical to the ones worn by troops in the Vietnam War.

Military Watch Company's Olive Metal Vietnam Watch is a virtually unchanged replica of the green timepiece donned by soldiers in the 1960s and 1970s. Although the original version was made of plastic for easier disposal, MWC's take is crafted from metal, with a US pattern military nylon strap. Available in either black or signature green, each ticker goes for about $60. Not too steep for a piece of history.
