	The last revision of this spec, Revision G, was published in 1999, and saw the Department of Defense giving more leeway to the manufacturers to design watches that would live up to specific criteria; the government did require, however, that manufacturers clean up the dials of their watches, featuring only the radiation symbol and the H3 tritium symbol, and no manufacturer name or “U.S. Government,” as found on some [[Marathon]] watches.

	Revision F, published in 1991, was also produced in many different versions, with Type 6 being the most notable departure from previous specs. This “Navigator” watch features a better quality, hacking quartz movement with a rotating, GMT-style bezel, as well as updated special requirements for operating in various adverse conditions. These watches were produced by Stocker & Yale and Marathon.

	Revision D, published in 1986, would spawn five different variants, including the highly accurate Type 1 that constituted a serious departure from many of the plastic, disposable, non-maintainable versions of the MIL-W-46374. Though we won’t go through all the iterations here, Type 2 is notable for being a plastic model, and Type 3 for being the first analog quartz specification. Rev. Ds were made by Hamilton, Stocker & Yale, and, most rarely, Marathon/Gallet.
