A-17 U.S 1950s Korean War Pattern Automatic Military Watch with Shatter and Scratch Resistant Box Sapphire Crystal on a Retro Stainless Steel "Bonklip" Bracelet with a Black Military Webbing Strap

Historical Background The lineage of these watches began in January 2009, when MWC was commissioned by a U.S. veterans association to recreate the GG-W-113 model. Originally produced by Hamilton, Bulova, and Benrus during the Vietnam War, the GG-W-113 was reproduced with a fully-jeweled hand-wound movement that matched the original specifications. Following its success, the association requested the A-11, a WWII-era watch. Finally, MWC completed the lineup with the A-17, bridging the gap between the 1940s A-11 and the 1960s GG-W-113. This dedication to military history and craftsmanship has made the A-17 a standout addition to MWC’s lineup.
