Bill's original post delves into the intriguing world of vintage military-style watches, specifically those with a strong resemblance to Benrus or Hamilton pieces. His initial query about their origins and Swiss manufacturing highlights a common challenge for collectors: identifying watches that share design cues and production methods across brands. This article synthesizes community insights to shed light on the history and characteristics of these fascinating timepieces.
. . . what tales these two would tell. Congrats on acquiring these bits of American history, Bill. Happy Thanksgiving, Art
and I expect to see these! Very nice -- do we know the manufacturer?
Dates are clear as well as mil spec aspect. I suspect Hamilton or Benrus which I think one acquired the other. Swiss mfg.
Are they 34 or 36mm? I know Benrus has a reissue, which is larger.
No marking on dial Plenty on the back This case is some kind of nylon or plastic material. Mike
