Stocker and Yale 184
C Version 1983
MIL-W-46374C Watches. The C version of the MIL-W-46374 specification came out 15 April 1983 and had only one major change, a return to plastic for the case material although now the case is larger and sturdier than the earlier MIL-W-46374 plastic watches. The only manufacturer of MIL-W-46374C watches was Stocker & Yale (abbreviated to SandY). Typical markings will be:
* WATCH, WRIST: GEN. PURPOSE * MIL-W-46374C * NSN 6645-00-952-3767 * SANDY 184 * DLA400-85-C-5228 * 08 MAR 85 * DISPOSE RAD. WASTE * U.S.
Some of these watches have an additional line with 'STOCKER & YALE, INC.' between the MIL-W and the NSN lines.
D Version 1986
The MIL-W-46374D specification issued 10 October 1986 includes numerous sub-types of watches. Types 1 and 2 are the basic field models with a plastic housing and mechanical movements, but the Type 1 specified a much better movement, minimum 15 jewels, with greater accuracy while Type 2 continued the standards of older MIL-W-46374 specs. Type 3 was the first specification for a battery-driven quartz watch with much greater accuracy, only allowing deviations of a few seconds a month. Types 4 and 5 were variants of the Type 3, for different handling of the battery.
MIL-W-46374D watches were made by Stocker & Yale as well as Hamilton with black and OD nylon straps. Typical markings will be:
* WATCH, WRIST * GENERAL PURPOSE * MIL-W-46374D-TYPE 2 * STOCKER AND YALE - 90640 CODE * NSN 6645-00-952-3767 * MODEL SANDY 184A * SWISS MADE * CASE * DISPOSE RAD WASTE * U.S.
