Question: Is this a military wristwatch?

I found this the other day...I replaced the cheap Japan quartz movement and have been wearing it around...My question is is this something the military would use or just a cheap knockoff...Either way I like it and it looks good...

Yes, a knock off of the Waltham A17A military issue. Use to see these for sale in the VFW magazine years ago. Nice little Quartz watch to wear though.
