Rec Spec - OG Popcorn

Original Proportions, Proven Wearability

The 38mm case stays faithful to the proportions of the original MACV-SOG watches, ensuring a compact and balanced fit on the wrist. The 4-hour integrated crown placement reduces the overall wrist profile while protecting the crown from accidental snags, making the watch equally comfortable in demanding conditions or everyday wear. Power comes from the reliable NH36 automatic movement, offering hacking seconds, a day-date complication, and a 39-hour power reserve; a functional layout that mirrors the configuration found on the original 1960s models.

The Original Expression: Popcorn Dial, Green Lume

The Rec Spec OG Popcorn sits at the core of the Rec Spec project, drawing directly from the MACV-SOG watches of the 1960s while introducing a distinct dial execution. Its glossy black “popcorn” dial adds depth and texture without compromising legibility, giving the watch a more dimensional, tactile presence. The applied indexes are filled with tritium-style green luminous material, a direct nod to the radioactive Tritium used on the original watches of the era. This combination, textured black dial and green lume, defines the OG Rec Spec look and reinforces its roots in the watches that quietly accompanied SOG teams into the field.
