Produced since the 1960s, these simple spec. watches were fashioned by a handful of American manufacturers for American servicemen. Many of these timepieces were used extensively - forged in the infernos by the heroes that wore them. Sometimes, a like-new version surfaces, pulled from a footlocker or a forgotten cache, and is brought back into action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is exactly what we have here. This watch, from 1976, features luminous paints on the dial and hands, and fixed spring bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Timex was producing these same MIL-W watches in plastic cases, Hamilton, who had been among the first to win the military contract in 1964, continued to fashion theirs from corrosion-resistant steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a simple 17-jewel manual-wind movement and the spartan military styling, these timekeepers are the perfect companions for everything from everyday wear to fighting battles in dank jungles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"product_details\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hamilton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":3265681729,"sku":null,"price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/Hamilton_GI_1976_AS00616_Culture1.jpg?v=1433263756","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/hamilton-gi-1976-as00616","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
