We found a few of these watches were at our UK shipping centre and will need a new battery because they were manufactured 5 years ago and the battery life is approximately 3 years. This is a straightforward job for anyone with basic horological skills or very straightforward for any watchmaker service center.
The watches are all brand-new and were simply overlooked during a stock take.

These watches are faithful recreations of the iconic field watches worn by American troops during the Vietnam War in the 1960s and early 1970s. The brand still produces two authentic US-style variants today: the covert black version and the classic olive drab model shown here. Just like the originals, this watch retains the traditional plexiglass acrylic crystal that defined the look and feel of the period.
The historic MIL-W-46374 specification was introduced during the Vietnam era. While the earliest versions were made with plastic cases, the updated MIL-W-46374A specification—published on 10 September 1968—moved to a more durable metal case and this Watch has a metal case, though from an appearance perspective it looks very much identical to the earlier plastic case model with the convenience of a modern quartz movement.
