"The Grunt" US Vietnam War Pattern Military Service Watch
Description
These are fantastic reproductions of the 1966 Benrus DTU-2A/P. It was among the first to be issued under the new MIL-W-3818B standard the US government called for. They asked for "an accurate, disposable, and non-maintainable watch, in either plastic or metal, to be issued to infantry and other ground troops during the Vietnam War".
These reproduction US Service watches would make a great addition to your Vietnam impression or to use as an everyday watch.
