We've restocked our hacking DoD MIL-W-50717-spec Type II military homage automatic! US military-issued watches - like the watch here – are known for their lack of fancy buttons or bezels. Instead, these are nearly always very simple and reliable watches that do what they were designed to – tell time on the battlefield. Type I and II military watches were produced for nearly a decade, from 1972 to 1980, with a little over 10,000 Type II produced, along with roughly 6,000 Type I’s. There existed a very small number of “sterile” watches outside these numbers, with no military-stamped nomenclature on the caseback and only a single engraved serial number. Naturally, some insist these sterile watches were issued to Navy SEAL teams and other Special Operations units in the US Army and CIA (in particular during the Viet Nam conflict), since the lack of military markings on the case meant that the watch (and thus its wearer) could not be identified as American – we don’t know what truth exists in this regard, but it does make for a great story. With above in mind, we modeled the watch here after the sterile examples. www.dcvintagewatches.com @dcvintagewatches #womw #watchesofinstagram #watchfam #wristgame #watchoftheday #DC #LA #SoCal #redbarcrew #DCVW #wis #edc #instawatc #fratellowatches #wornandwound #wotd #klocksnack #GoAnalog #seiko #vintageseiko #benrus #USMIL #usmilitary #militarywatch #omega #heuer https://www.instagram.com/dcvw_losangeles/p/CXG-84UPB81/?utm_medium=tumblr
