The Military Inspired Seiko 5 You've Never Heard About (SNK381K1 "MAC-V SOG")

A Discussion and Review of the Seiko 5 SNK381K1, a military inspired model that looks at a series of pieces issued to the American Armed Forces in Vietnam (MAC-V SOG). The model uses the DNA of the 6619, 6119 and 7005 references as a modern reinterpretation. What makes this watch even more interesting is that it was never announced as a reissue of those original Sportsmatic models, instead, very much like the originals, it has been quietly a part of the Seiko 5 catalogue for years.
