==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.
