SKU Code: ST/NAM/OL

Our Vietnam Watches are virtually identical in appearance to those used by American troops during the Vietnam War in the 1960s and early 1970s. While these watches closely resemble the original 1968 model shown in the final image, the originals were made of plastic and considered disposable by the US military. The initial specification aimed to create a cheap and simple "campaign" watch for infantry and other MOS (Military Occupational Specialties). The W46374 spec was a cost-effective alternative to the MIL-W-3818B, calling for a non-maintainable watch in a plastic case, powered by a non-hacking movement. It required minimal water resistance, protection from shock and vibration, extreme temperature tolerance, and sufficient luminosity for nighttime visibility. The original 1968 watches had a green olive plastic case and a diameter of just under 36mm, making this watch identical in terms of dimensions and general appearance.

Transition to Metal Casings:

Over 20 years ago, we decided to transition from plastic to metal construction for the entire range of these watches. This change addressed the shortcomings of the original plastic models. The MWC design team rethought the watch while retaining the original appearance. This upgrade to a metal case and a hackable movement resulted in watches that are vastly superior in durability and overall quality to the 1968 originals while maintaining the original watch's appearance.

        Size: 1/2inch x 100ft, Color: Black

        Works well
        This stuff is pretty great I bought it for attaching tomato plants to the fence where the stems were too big to fit my smaller clip ties and even in our strong winds none of the ties have come undone so far

        Effective and functional air purifying
        Style: Medium Room Air Purifier, Style: Medium Room Air Purifier
        This Amazon Basics model AC2224A Air Purifier is a really capable machine with a somewhat unique filter. I ordered it when it was on special and decided to give some detail on the features to help folks who might be new to air purifiers. The filter weighs in at just over 1lb. That's actually pretty heavy for the size. The filter does the standard 3 things people expect, pre-screen, hepa, active carbon adsorption, but it's a little unique in how it is configured. The pre-screen is straight forward and permanently attached to the outside. It should catch big stuff like pet hair to help stretch out the more expensive layers. Most other filters run a single layer of hepa then separately on the inside run a layer of activated carbon - either as mesh or pellets. Here the filter stitches the hepa and the active carbon together. The active carbon is actually small chunks about the size of sugar crystals layered inside. (yes, I found the end and cut off a pieces to check it out). That actually is a very thoughful way to do it. Activated carbon is structurally changed in the factory to increase its surface area. It's a process you can't replicate at home. The activation allows it to adsorb molecules that cause odor and VOCs. I've given you an illuminated photo of the inside of the filter so that if you can zoom in you'll see the random strands which the hepa standards require. Random strands improve filtering and add strength for the filter. The risk with running a layered filter like this is that if it's constructed poorly it will block airflow. I can check those aspects and on high speed the machine pulls under 30watts and puts out just shy of a 9mph air flow. That's good work. Air flow does create air noise which I measured at 65db directly on top of the machine. It drops another 10db a foot away. On the sleep mode I get 42db on top and that actually drops below the 30db I can measure once you're a foot away from the machine. So, it's capable of power and of being quiet. The last thing is the automation. There is an air sensor on the back by where the cord plugs in that measures the PM2.5 levels. I know what mine are (I have multiple purifiers and sensors), so it doesn't surprise me in the least that on auto the machine drops down to the lowest level. You can also turn on a light that then adds a color to indicate the air purity. I use either essential oil or incense to test the sensor. This was very responsive and noted the essential oil mist I was diffusing right away. It turned the light red and sped to its highest level. Once it had cleaned up the issue it slowed back down and returned to its peaceful green color. It gives solid performance that is in no way basic. Plus, there's the added advantage that you're familiar with the company behind it.
