After examining samples and original specifications, the result was a watch very close to the original, using a high-grade fully jeweled mechanical movement. Following the success of this project, MWC was contacted again to create a limited edition model in black PVD steel.

In the PVD process, the steel itself isn’t black throughout; instead, the color is achieved through a specialized chemical plating technique. This method is far superior to the painted finishes found on lower-quality watches, which tend to fade or wear off easily. The PVD process alters the steel at a molecular level, ensuring long-lasting durability even under heavy use. However, the finish can be damaged if the case is gouged by metal or subjected to severe abrasion against rocks or similar materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Including Crown:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Excluding Crown:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.9mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLug Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLug to Lug:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e 316L Black PVD stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaseback:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screw-down 316L stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrown:\u003c\/strong\u003e 316L stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18mm US Pattern military webbing strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 atm (50m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 Jewel NH35A Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlass:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plexiglass \/ Acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLuminous Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luminova\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerial Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engraved on caseback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis watch combines historical design with modern enhancements, making it a perfect choice for collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate both vintage aesthetics and contemporary performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MWC - Military Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14238627079,"sku":"GGW113PVDLTD","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1140\/1866\/products\/MWCGG-W-113Dec20GGW113PVDLTD-1b.jpg?v=1628154186"},{"product_id":"matt-olive-drab-1960s-pattern-european-military-watch","title":"MWC Classic 1960s\/70s Pattern Olive Drab European Pattern Military Watch on Matching Strap","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU: MIL\/1966\/OL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMWC's original watches in this range were the 12\/24-hour dial format U.S. pattern watches, which are still in production today.

Synthetic sapphire is the best material for watch crystals because it is extremely strong, shatter-resistant, and scratch-resistant. These characteristics make it very appealing to military and security personnel, police officers, and people who lead active outdoor lifestyles, which account for over 70% of our customers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo put things into perspective, when clients experience accidents resulting in a cracked crystal, over 90% of the time it involves watches with mineral glass crystals. Even hardened mineral crystals do not match sapphire in terms of durability under adverse conditions. Sapphire crystals are so strong because, after manufacture, they are heat-treated to remove internal stresses, which can cause weakness. They are then made into watch crystals, with two layers of anti-reflective coating applied. Interestingly, sapphire crystal is now used on the latest iPhone. While sapphire crystal comes at a higher price, it is typically only fitted to higher-end watches, and its durability and resilience make it a worthwhile investment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the MWC Ltd Edition Classic Aviator Watch for a blend of historical design and modern functionality, making it a perfect addition to any watch collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MWC - Military Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":8993927463027,"sku":"CLIX\/SS\/ST\/ND","price":299.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1140\/1866\/products\/CLIX_SS_ST_ND-Unbranded_Classic_Aviator_BB.jpg?v=1571438912"},{"product_id":"mwc-ltd-edition-classic-100m-water-resistant-general-service-watch-with-24-jewel-automatic-movement-1","title":"MWC Ltd Edition Classic 100m Water Resistant General Service Watch with 24 Jewel Automatic Movement","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: small;\"\u003eSKU Code: \u003cspan\u003eW10\/100M\/D\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: small;\" size=\"2\" face=\"verdana, geneva\"\u003eThis automatic self-winding classic design MWC general service military watch is a limited edition based on the typical designs used in the 1960s\/1970s, it is very close to the dimensions of actual watches used at that time such as the UK W10 models and classic watches such as the IWC MKX making it ideal if you prefer a smaller timepiece, the watch has a hardened mineral glass crystal and the mechanical movement is automatic with the option to hand-wind if required.

This watch was to be identical in appearance to the originals made by Hamilton, Bulova, and Benrus during the Vietnam War. After examining samples and original specification sheets, the resulting watch was very close to the original and featured a high-grade fully jeweled hand-wound movement. This watch, the GG-W-113, is still made by MWC. Following its success, another order was placed to recreate the A-11, an even earlier model. The original A-11 watches, made from 1943 onwards, were produced with cheap metals due to wartime resource limitations, making them less durable. This 1950s pattern A-17 watch sits between the 1940s A-11 and the 1960s GG-W-113, combining elements of both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeveloped in 2019, the new 100m series models blend traditional appearance with contemporary performance standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Including Crown:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Excluding Crown:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardened glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 61g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLug Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLug to Lug:\u003c\/strong\u003e 45mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaseback and Crown:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screw-down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24-jewel NH35 mechanical self-winding automatic with \"Hack System\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis watch offers a perfect blend of vintage aesthetics and modern functionality, making it a suitable choice for both collectors and daily wearers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MWC - Military Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":29449165308019,"sku":"A-17\/100","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1140\/1866\/products\/A-17_100andA-17_100_HYQb.jpg?v=1613738171"},{"product_id":"mwc-stainless-steel-hybrid-classic-aviator-watch-with-100m-water-resistance","title":"MWC Classic 40mm Stainless Steel Aviator Watch with Hybrid Movement and 100m Water Resistance","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU: SM\/AV\/2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis MWC classic aviator model is 100m water-resistant, featuring a solid stainless steel case with a screw-down crown and case back.

MWC hybrid watches combine the best of both new and traditional watchmaking technology. They feature elements from both conventional automatic and quartz models, resulting in a hybrid ultra-low maintenance movement. The hybrid movement uses a battery to power the movement through coils and a quartz oscillator, but the hands are mechanically actuated and controlled. Essentially, the movement is mechanical except it's powered by a battery and regulated by a crystal; the only thing it lacks is a spring.

The initial specification aimed to create a cheap and simple \"campaign\" watch for infantry and other MOS (Military Occupational Specialties). The W46374 spec was a cost-effective alternative to the MIL-W-3818B, calling for a non-maintainable watch in a plastic case, powered by a non-hacking movement. It required minimal water resistance, protection from shock and vibration, extreme temperature tolerance, and sufficient luminosity for nighttime visibility. The original 1968 watches had a green olive plastic case and a diameter of just under 36mm, making this watch identical in terms of dimensions and general appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransition to Metal Casings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver 20 years ago, we decided to transition from plastic to metal construction for the entire range of these watches.

Synthetic sapphire is the best material for watch crystals due to its strength and resistance to shattering and scratching. These characteristics make it highly appealing to military and security personnel, police officers, and people who lead active outdoor lifestyles, who comprise over 70% of our customers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen clients have accidents resulting in cracked crystals, over 90% of the cases involve watches with mineral glass crystals, even though we use hardened mineral crystals.

Even hardened mineral crystals do not match sapphire in terms of durability under adverse conditions.

Synthetic sapphire is the best material for watch crystals due to its strength and resistance to shattering and scratching. These characteristics make it highly appealing to military and security personnel, police officers, and people who lead active outdoor lifestyles, who comprise over 70% of our customers. When clients have accidents resulting in cracked crystals, over 90% of the cases involve watches with mineral glass crystals, even though we use hardened mineral crystals. Sapphire crystals are heat-treated to remove internal stresses, enhancing their strength. They also feature two layers of anti-reflective coating. Interestingly, sapphire crystal is now used in the latest iPhone models. Although sapphire crystal comes at a higher cost, it is typically found in higher-end watches due to its superior durability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MWC - Military Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39787409604723,"sku":"MKIIIAUSSST\/MY","price":315.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1140\/1866\/files\/MKIIISSSTUN_MY_20mm_May_2026_GS.png?v=1779541267"},{"product_id":"aeschbach-ww2-pattern-luftwaffe-reichsluftfahrtministerium-rlm-pilots-watch-with-21-jewel-automatic-mechanical-movement","title":"Aeschbach WW2 Pattern German Wehrmacht \u0026 Luftwaffe Dienstuhr (Army\/Airforce Service Watch) with 21 Jewel Automatic Mechanical Movement","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"92\" data-start=\"65\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"90\" data-start=\"65\"\u003eSKU Code: ABACH\/DUHR2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"417\" data-start=\"94\"\u003eThis \u003cstrong data-end=\"150\" data-start=\"99\"\u003eautomatic self-winding Aeschbach military watch\u003c\/strong\u003e is a faithful recreation of the classic WWII designs used by the \u003cstrong data-end=\"250\" data-start=\"216\"\u003eGerman Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Additionally, the original 15-jewel hand-winding mechanical movement has been upgraded to a 21-jewel self-winding automatic movement, which can also be manually wound if required.

Synthetic sapphire is the superior material for watch crystals due to its strength and resistance to shattering and scratching, making it ideal for military and security personnel, police officers, and active outdoor enthusiasts, who comprise over 70% of our customers. The original plexiglass crystals, made of plastic\/acrylic, were prone to scratches and cracks and limited the water resistance of the watch. In contrast, sapphire crystals are heat-treated to eliminate internal stresses, enhancing durability. Two layers of anti-reflective coating are then applied. Although sapphire crystal is more expensive, it is typically found only in higher specification watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwiss Sellita SW216 Movement Winding Guidelines:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo wind the SW216 from an empty state to full, you'll need approximately 20 to 25 turns of the crown, which is significantly less than most other hand-wound watches that require 30 to 40 turns. Once fully wound, the watch has an average power reserve of around 42 hours. Be cautious during the winding process, as securing the locking crown adds an additional 3 to 4 winds. This feature, designed to enhance water resistance, is uncommon in most hand-wound watches of this type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor daily wearers who wind the watch every morning, a slight variation in the number of turns will not significantly impact the power reserve, as it will remain well below the maximum of 42 hours. Some users report that 15-17 turns are sufficient when winding every 24 hours, which is logical since the watch wouldn’t need a full wind after 24 hours. Most owners develop a sense of the optimal winding routine within the first few days of ownership.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's crucial not to overwind the watch, as this can cause the mainspring to lock up or break. Overwinding occurs when a mechanism is wound beyond its designated stopping point, posing a risk of damage. Adhering to the recommended winding procedures ensures the longevity and proper functioning of the timepiece. Note that overwinding is a concern primarily for manually-wound watches, not for automatic ones, which cannot be overwound.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MWC - Military Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47016293335370,"sku":"W10\/445-23CH","price":595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1140\/1866\/files\/W10_445-23CHS_EN.png?v=1781338770"},{"product_id":"mwc-1940s-1950s-dirty-dozen-pattern-general-service-watch-with-automatic-self-winding-mechanical-movement-1","title":"MWC 1940s\/1950s \"Dirty Dozen\" Pattern General Service Watch with a 31 Jewel Swiss Sellita SW260 Automatic Movement and a Domed Vintage Box Sapphire Crystal","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU: DD\/01\/AUCHA\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis classic 31-jewel automatic MWC military watch, inspired by the 1940s\/1950s design patterns, features a Swiss Sellita SW260 movement and a small subsidiary dial second hand.
