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.
