History behind the watch:
The first stainless steel case watch added to the 46374 specification. This was added on 10 September 1968. There were 2 variants of MIL-W-46374A issued. Both were made by Hamilton. One issued to the RAA and the other to the USF. Both similar in appearance. The one being sold above is issued to the USF. The main difference between the two is that the RAA version has a 2 piece case similar to the later issues while the USF version has a 1 piece case.
