SKU: GG-W-113S25

The GG-W-113 infantry watch originated in October 1962 when the U.S. government established specifications for military timepieces under MIL-W-3818B, which replaced the earlier MIL-W-3818A specification from March 1956. These watches were primarily manufactured by Hamilton, Bulova, and Benrus during the Vietnam War, and they remain iconic in military watch history.

In January 2009, MWC collaborated with a U.S. veterans association to recreate this legendary model. Using two original watches and their detailed specifications as references, MWC developed a modern homage. This recreation features a 24-jewel automatic movement with a hacking function, maintaining the spirit of the original hand-wound movements while incorporating a rotor for automatic self-winding. It also retains the ability for manual winding, offering versatility.

In 2025, MWC further enhanced the GG-W-113 by upgrading the water resistance rating to 100m/330ft this upgrade along with the box sapphire crystal provides superior shatter and scratch resistance while preserving the authentic look of the plexiglass crystals used in the 1960s and 1970s. The result is a watch that is visually indistinguishable from its vintage counterparts but benefits from modern technological advancements.

The original Benrus model provided in 2009, dated 1965, exemplifies the historical accuracy of this recreation. As shown in the final image, MWC's homage remains true to the design and proportions of the era while improving functionality and durability.

This modern GG-W-113 is a perfect option for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a reliable, daily-wear watch that captures the aesthetics and legacy of Vietnam-era timepieces.

Sapphire Crystal Benefits

Why Sapphire Crystal?
Sapphire crystal is the gold standard for watch crystals, offering unmatched strength, scratch resistance, and shatter resistance. These qualities make it ideal for military personnel, police officers, and active outdoor enthusiasts, who collectively represent over 70% of MWC’s customer base.

Advantages:

  • Durability: Over 90% of cracked watch crystals are made from mineral glass, even when hardened. Sapphire crystals are significantly more resilient under adverse conditions.
  • Heat Treatment: Sapphire crystals undergo a manufacturing process that removes internal stresses, resulting in exceptional strength.
  • Anti-Reflective Coating: Two layers of coating enhance legibility in various lighting conditions.
  • Modern Applications: Sapphire crystal is now used in devices such as the latest iPhones, showcasing its premium quality.

Though sapphire crystal comes at a higher cost, its durability and performance make it a worthwhile investment for higher-end watches like the GG-W-113.


This watch represents a seamless blend of heritage and modernity, making it an exceptional choice for collectors, military history enthusiasts, and those seeking a rugged yet stylish timepiece for everyday wear.

Comfortable, affordable, and great for small spaces!
Color: Light Purple, Color: Light Purple
I had previously left a review of two stars, but have since deleted that review after I've owned the chair for a few weeks now. Initially, I stated the chair was uncomfortable and not cushioned at all. But this issue quickly resolved after sitting it for a longer time, it seems the cushion molds to you. So it may be uncomfortable the first few times sitting on it, but it eventually softens. The cushion is now soft yet sturdy. You don't sink in too much, but it's comfortable for sitting for long periods of time. I personally enjoy the mesh back as well, it supports my lower back and doesn't cause back pain. Normally I have to use a cushion of my own to support my lower back for most chairs, but this one actually supports me in a way that doesn't require an extra cushion - so that's really nice. The chair is fairly on the smaller end, which is perfect for low desks or tight spaces, which is exactly what I wanted. The height can be adjusted, but even at the highest setting, it is still fairly low. Keep that in mind - it may not be super comfortable for those over 6 ft. The arms flip up which makes storing it under a low desk very easy. The cushion is thick and very accurate to the picture. I love that it is lightweight and doesn't make much noise when rolling the chair. It also feels very sturdy. Some of the reviews say it feels flimsy, and I don't know if some are just assembling it incorrectly, because for me this thing is very strong and holds up quite nicely under my weight. Overall, this is exactly what I wanted for my personal living space. A chair that's not too bulky, but comfortable enough to sit in for long hours. It functions as advertised for this purpose. One final thing -- the color selection is gorgeous. I bought the light purple color and it fits my setup nicely! Color was accurate to the picture, and looks very cute and adorable in my space.

Surprisingly amazing chair!
Color: Pink, Color: Pink
tl;dr: If you need a chair that has the features of this one, then this one is a winner! Hits above its weight class for sure. My wife is 5’. She’s small. For whatever reason she ended up with a chair made for big people, like 6+ feet and up to 500lbs type of a chair. She’d often even sleep on it and chill on it. The chair was big enough to fit 2 of her to be honest. It was an expensive chair that I won at some raffle and didn’t like myself. Over the years it ripped (got a cover for it) and even started to get lopsided (from the sleeping) and finally a spring broke (hence the pillow on it in the pictures) She obviously lives pink. I also wanted to get a chair where she could work and not end ip asleep on. Not like we have a couch or a bed for that 😂. This chair is very obviously smaller than her previous chair, it’s also significantly cheaper in price and build, it’s also not as durable feeling or stable, and it’s just not as padded. Yet somehow it’s an amazing chair that we both like better than her previous chair??? Like it’s crazy that this chair somehow works better in so many ways. Her desk is modified to be shorter than normal desks (again, she small lol) and her previous chair was just too big. The wheels are also like SUPER smooth, like you can run a chair race easily with it. It rolls over her rug and tucks into her desk (which is in our bedroom) easily. The amount of space this has save us when the chair isn’t being used is a lot. Previous chair was much bigger and didn’t tuck in at all. The color is nice and the padding is plenty for a small and much lighter than 500lbs woman. I’m 6 feet and 200 lbs and the chair is nice for me as well. My chair is bigger and more secure in the backing, which is similar to this one. The lowest tension setting on my chair is still too high for her to lean back on my chair. This chair has a lower tension minimum and she can easily lean back freely, as well as keep enough tension to work without sagging. This chair is surprisingly outstanding! I’m sure my wife will destroy it quicker than the last one, but it’s so cheap that even if it only lasts 1-3 years, I’ll happily buy it ones or twice more 🤷🏽‍♀️. Maybe by then they’ll invent a comfortable titanium chair that’s affordable that she won’t destroy 😂.

Mid.
Color: Light Purple
The chair is fine, and reasonably easy to put together. However, I've been using it for a little over a year and a half, and it's already falling apart. Random parts of it have fallen off, which is fine because it was still functional. But now the most frustrating part is that the wheels continue to pop off, and while the first attempts to pop them back on worked, they will not stay on now. This is obviously greatly impacting the stability, and I will need to purchase a replacement soon. For this price and lack of long-term durability, I would not buy again.

Alexa messed me up, but the company of the chair made it right!
Color: Light Purple, Color: Light Purple
I wanted something small with arms that moved out of the way when I wanted to slide my chair all the way into my desk for more space. This fit the bill. I loved the color blue and I had that in my cart for a bit. One day Alexa mentioned that an item that was in my cart was on sale. It was the chair. I let it be ordered. When it came it didn't exactly look blue to me. But I kept putting it together thinking maybe it was the lighting in the room I was assembling it in. I brought it to my craft room and lo and behold it is light purple. I looked at my order and sure enough it said light purple. Boo! I looked in my saved cart and the chair was gone. So I accepted it for an error. The next day I checked to see if I could return it. Thought I could, till I read that I would have to pay to return it. So I wrote the seller to tell them to ignore the return. And that was that. Till a couple days later I get an email from the seller asking if I would like a full refund or a replacement at no cost. I was like heck yeah send me the blue one. I was thrilled and I wanted to thank the seller for doing this without the return of the other chair. But I could not find a place to do that now. So here is where I will thank you. Thank you so much for doing this for me. You guys are AWESOME!. I love the chair and I love the blue color. I find it very comfortable, lite, easy to adjust, the size works great for me, and for the price the quality fits my needs. I do hope it lasts me for quite some time. Thanks again!
