In January 2009 MWC was approached by a US veterans association who asked us to examine the viability of making a watch which was indistinguishable in appearance from the original watches which were made by Hamilton, Bulova and Benrus during the Vietnam war. We were sent samples of both watches to examine and the original specification and the result is a watch which is remarkably close to the original and uses a high grade fully jewelled automatic movement with hacking function, this movement is very similar to the original 1960’s hand-wound movements except that it has the addition of a rotor to remove the need for manual winding although it retains the ability to be wound manual should you wish to do so. The reason for the change from the 17 jewels hand-wound movement to the superior 24 jewels automatic in 2015 was that many customers did not know how to hand-wind a watch - which is understandable because almost everyone under 50 grew up with quartz watches - in many cases, with the younger buyers even their parents had no idea either, so this led to all sorts of problems hence the upgrade to self-winding offered the ideal solution. The actual Benrus sent to us in 2009 was from 1965 but as you can see from the final image of an original watch our homage watch is virtually identical although we have also taken a few design pointers from other models which were manufactured at the time. The originals of these watches are now almost impossible to find in good sound condition, but this watch is a very convincing recreation.
