Stewart,
Google the above. In my opinion, these beasts are the best of the breed for U.S.-issued Vietnam watches. Super robust. An especially austere dial on the Type I that I really love. I still have 6 or 7 Type Is and IIs tucked away from when I was into military watches. I believe they were rated from 1000m for diving for the Navy Seals to 30,000ft for the aviators. Loads of great stories connected to their history. Some early versions are highly collected and called the Steriles. Parts are getting really scarce and pristine examples more and more difficult to find.
Enjoy!
