The 4-hour integrated crown placement protects against accidental snags and reduces overall wrist presence, reinforcing the watch’s practicality both in and out of the field. Powering the watch is the proven NH36 automatic movement, delivering hacking seconds, a day-date complication, and a 39-hour power reserve; a reliable setup that mirrors the functionality of the original MACV-SOG watches.

Popcorn Dial, White Lume: A Cleaner Interpretation

The Rec Spec White Popcorn builds on the foundation of the original MACV-SOG watches while offering a more refined visual expression. Its glossy black “popcorn” dial introduces depth and texture, adding visual volume without sacrificing clarity. Where this version sets itself apart is in the white luminous indexes and hands, which give the dial a cleaner, more modern presence while staying true to the proportions and layout of the 1960s originals. It’s a subtle shift in tone; less overtly tactical, more restrained, while remaining unmistakably Rec Spec.

One Project, Refined Through Variation

The Rec Spec collection was created to reflect the unconventional reality behind the MACV-SOG watches, timepieces sourced outside traditional military procurement and adapted for reconnaissance work in Vietnam. The White Popcorn variant offers a cleaner, more contemporary take on that same foundation, proving how small changes in execution can shift character without rewriting history. Like every Rec Spec, it remains a tribute to improvisation, authenticity, and the gear that earned its place through use, not intention.
