The Hager S.E.R.E. is our interpretation of the watch that was issued to U.S. Special Forces (Green Berets, UDT-SEALS, and CIA SOG teams) during Vietnam. The Benrus Type I was considered to be one of the finest timepieces ever produced for the military. They were simple to use and ruggedly built. The Type 1 was one of the few military issued watches to feature an automatic movement under a military specification of its own, MIL-W-50717, and designated CLASS A, which is essentially the highest classification awarded to military watches. These watches were never sold commercially and have become a favorite amongst enthusiasts and collectors. Our watch is a perfect tribute to the Type I, as most of the case parts can be used as direct replacements on the original watch. We offer the S.E.R.E. in two different configurations with different dials and bezels for each.
Back in February 2013, National Geographic Doomsday Prepper Star Jay Blevins wore the new Hager PVD S.E.R.E. on the Kathie Lee aand Hoda Show. Jay is the author of Survival & Emergency Preparedness Skills (SEPS): Mental, Physical, & Spiritual Readiness for Uncertain Times.
I thought Jay did a nice job in discussing some useful ways people can protect themselves from an attacker with just every objects that they carry on them or in their purse. I talked to Jay later and he said he normally takes off his watch and uses it as a knuckle duster to show you can use a watch to crack someone in the face, but then he remembered he was wearing the SERE and said it looked too nice to bust up. Thanks Jay.
