SKU: MIL/1966/SCB

MWC's original watches in this range were the 12/24-hour dial format U.S. pattern watches, which are still in production today. These watches remain virtually identical in appearance to those used by American troops during the Vietnam War in the 1960s and early 1970s. The final image shows one of these original watches, which inspired the various models MWC continues to produce today.

The European pattern variants were introduced following frequent inquiries from dealers and customers who requested a similar model to the U.S. watches, but with a UK NATO-style dial. As a result, MWC developed a British dial design based on early 1970s models. These watches retain the plexiglass acrylic crystal, as this was commonly used in both American and UK military watches in the 1960s and 1970s. In fact, some UK military watches still utilize acrylic crystals today.

Although these modern watches resemble the 1960s version shown in the final image, the original models were made of plastic, as they were intended to be disposable by the U.S. military. However, plastic watches have the same limitations as the originals. To address this, the MWC design team completely reimagined the watch about 15 years ago. While maintaining the original appearance, weight, and feel, they upgraded to an all-metal construction. This change vastly improved both the durability and overall quality, while preserving the vintage aesthetic.

Excellent cabinet towel rack.
I had no doubt that this item had to be good from the moment I saw the detailed pictures of it on Amazon. The item is built very well out of stainless steel and adjusts easily to fit the cabinet door in the kitchen. I am so impressed by the way it is working. I can hang 6 different wash clothes/towels on it and not have to have them clutter the sink area. I am very impressed by this item. The fact that it adjusts in length also means that I can get the most use out of it.

Can easily hide towels
Works nicely. I have it mounted with towels hanging on the inside of my cabinet so you see only the small hooks on the outside of the cabinet door. It extends nicely and has ample room for one towel folded in half on each bar; you would have to fold each towel again to get 2 side by side. Only minor issue the hooks extend over the door a little lower than I'd like and they are beveled outward on the bottom so you see this on the outside. I have a similar design single bar rack with smaller less noticeable hooks. Neither one is completely invisible but at least I can hide the towels and not cover up my new beautiful stainless range or cabinets with towels. Worth the money.

A simple but useful little gadget
I love my little galley kitchen which really only has one wall as it is open to the family room and dining room. So no available wall space meant no place to install towel bars. That meant there was no space to hang up my dish towels to dry. These towel bars were the solution to that little (but daily) annoyance. They attached easily and securely to my cabinet drawers. I am very pleased with them.

Great Towel Rack
This is a replacement for a similar towel rack. It looked exactly the same, but welds failed after a number of years. This one is designed much better. It is adjustable the other was not. Very clean looking and expect this to last at least as long as the other or longer. My wife loves it.

Sturdy but hard to use
This bar is sturdy and doesn't bend but the bars are too close together making it difficult to hang towels on. Pro: sturdy and quality made Con: hard to use
