My master (pocket) watch issued to me in 1960 was stolen from my desk by
burglar several years ago, and issued wrist watch has been "gone" for many
years - 'don't remember the makers. Stop watch issued at same time is by
Heuer.

I believe military issue in the mid sixties was Hamilton, but if not
probably a Bulova, both top manufactures in the US.
I suspect also autowind models rather than electronic or electric due to
sealing issues and humidity in Viet Nam, although that would account for
failures in the jungle. Batteries aren't a field replacement option on
watches.
