SKU: MIL/1966/BL

MWC's original watches in this range were the 12/24-hour dial format U.S. pattern watches, which are still in production today. These watches remain virtually identical in appearance to those used by American troops during the Vietnam War in the 1960s and early 1970s. The final image shows one of these original watches, which inspired the various models MWC continues to produce today.

The European pattern variants were introduced following frequent inquiries from dealers and customers who requested a similar model to the U.S. watches, but with a UK NATO-style dial. As a result, MWC developed a British dial design based on early 1970s models. These watches retain the plexiglass acrylic crystal, as this was commonly used in both American and UK military watches in the 1960s and 1970s. In fact, some UK military watches still utilize acrylic crystals today.

Although these modern watches resemble the 1960s version shown in the final image, the original models were made of plastic, as they were intended to be disposable by the U.S. military. However, plastic watches have the same limitations as the originals. To address this, the MWC design team completely reimagined the watch about 15 years ago. While maintaining the original appearance, weight, and feel, they upgraded to an all-metal construction. This change vastly improved both the durability and overall quality, while preserving the vintage aesthetic.

    Looks great, doesn't hold much so measure carefully
    Color: Gray, Size: Rectangle
    I got this organizer for my husband to keep his stuff by the door. While it's a little smaller than I'd hoped, it looks great in the entryway. It's super easy to snap together, but feels like the material could be damaged easily if you're not careful. He is able to store his keys, wallet, and sunglasses in it, and throws hit hat on top. Overall we are really happy with it.

    Perfect
    Color: Blue, Size: Square
    Just what I needed. The size is perfect as I didn’t want anything too large to place my watches and other accessories inside near the corner of my desk. Its size is essentially 7x7, and the design is sleek compared to other organizer holders. I got the color in blue and it looks stunning with the rest of my setup. I’m unsure about other reviewers, but mine came safely and the leather walls are decently thick, so it’s not too flimsy when buttoned together which holds very securely. There are hole spaces at the bottom corners once assembled, so if you have super small items such as beads or really small jewelry, they could potentially fall out, but most of my items are large enough that won’t be of concern. If you have a wire charger near by, the holes could be used to charge your smartphone inside, which has its own practical usage. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it if you’re on a lookout for a sleek but compact organizer holder, and I personally will consider getting another one in the future for myself for other household belongings.

    Cute!
    Color: Retro
    I needed to be more organized, so I purchased this. It holds my remote, pens and other things needed with my tissues. I like that it is top loading. The cover is very secure. I like the look of it and how well it works for my bedroom. Good choice for the price.

    Nice Product
    Color: Retro
    This item is nicely made and makes a good showing when placed on a table. I am very pleased with this and hope it comes in another color soon. I put this in my family room but would like to have a 2nd one, maybe different color. Very reasonably priced also.
