Sandy Troopers Satin Arditi Incursori Watch

Description

The Sandy was the watch used by troops in Vietnam in the period 1960-1975. Since 1815, the military watch has become an essential piece of equipment for the military, especially for seafarers. It was the Great War that made keeping track of time essential. Modern war has demanded that everyone, soldiers, sailors and aviators, have a good watch. It was in fact in the First World War that communications, transport, flying, and the sophisticated of new weapons, made a technological leap forward, and this basic quick progress created the need to know the exact time. Therefore the watch ceased to be exclusive to the naval unit officer, and became an object of which every military and professional person was equipped, even if it was not economically-feasible in civilian life. This is where the real need to create the Sandy stems from, the watch of the American troops and/or allies during the Vietnam War: practical, durable, waterproof, high visibility at night. This was delivered to all along with the K-ration. Our Sandy Watch Caius collection walks in the footsteps of the historic military watch supplied to US military while retaining the same practical concepts: Nato nylon strap. Durability: microbial steel casing, anti-glare, waterproof screw crown. Dial: black, vision deck, with indices, numbers, high-visibility luminous hands at night. All the features that distinguish the legendary Sandy Watch.
