MWC GG-W-113 Hybrid – Vietnam War Pattern (Ex-Display Special Offer)
SKU Code: GGW113/100QZ
🔥 Special Offer – Heavily Discounted
This watch is as new and was only used as an ex-display model at a trade show. It has no faults and is in perfect condition. Because it was part of a display batch received about 18 months ago, the battery may need replacing now or in the near future — a simple, inexpensive change using a standard 371 watch battery (readily available worldwide).
This is an excellent opportunity to own a classic military heritage watch at a fraction of the usual price.
📜 About the Watch
The MWC GG-W-113 Hybrid is a modern re-creation of the original Vietnam War–era watch, first issued in the 1960s. Produced to reflect the classic military design worn by U.S. forces, this upgraded model blends authentic vintage styling with modern durability.
Powered by a hybrid mechanical-quartz movement, the GG-W-113 offers the sweep second hand and mechanical feel of an automatic, combined with the accuracy and low maintenance of quartz.
Unlike the originals, which had limited 30m water resistance and fragile plexiglass, this model features:
- 100m water resistance (suitable for swimming)
- Curved hardened glass crystal (scratch-resistant, retro look)
- Screw-down crown & caseback for added durability
With its 316L stainless steel case, black dial, sweep second hand, hacking function, and Luminova-coated hands and markers, this is a rugged field watch built to perform in modern conditions while staying true to its military roots.
