Product Description
These Vietnam Watches are virtually identical in appearance to the watches used by American troops in the Vietnam war during the 1960s and 1970s. The actual US Military Issue models were made of plastic because they were deemed disposable. MWC chose to completely rethink the watch and while keeping the original appearance, weight and feel we switched to all metal construction which means that although the watch looks very close to the originals it is vastly superior in both durability and general quality. The originals of these watches are now almost impossible to find in good sound condition and this watch is a very convincing recreation of the classic US Army watch from the Vietnam and Cold War era.

Q: My watch needs repair. Should I remove the strap before sending?
A: If your watch has a customized strap or a different type of strap, you may want to remove it before sending. If we exchange the watch, it will be returned with the strap normally used on that model.
Q: My watch is sentimental. Should I send it for repair?
A: Do not send sentimental or engraved items for repair without contacting us first, as your watch could be replaced, and the original may not be returned.
Registering Your Watch
If you wish to register your watch on our warranty system, you can do so at MWC Warranty Registration. While registration is not essential, it can be helpful if you cannot find the invoice or other proof of purchase in the event of a warranty claim.
Additional Information
Warranties are not transferable. You must purchase your watch from an authorized dealer for full warranty coverage to apply. Many items sold at low prices are ex-military/police/security industry surplus or grey market watches.
Please email us if you have concerns that an item might not be genuine or if you have any further questions or need advice. Feel free to contact us by phone or via email at admin@mwc.watch.
