{"title":"Divers Watches Quartz","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe manufacture a very extensive range of divers watches with quartz movements for a wide variety of applications with models in both stainless steel and black non-reflective PVD finish. Because we use the Ronda 715li movement the battery life of these watches is 10 years which is vastly superior to most other brands. The watches are manufactured with either Super Luminova or Tritium GTLS which is a unique technology that uses a combination of tritium and phosphors encapsulated in tiny glass tubes to create high levels of visibility during darkness without fading over the course of the night which can be an issue for some clients when they are using a watch with conventional paint such as Luminova. The main advantage of GTLS tritium gas tubes is that that they require no external a power source and are up to 100 times brighter than luminous painted dials hence when night performance is absolutely crucial they are the ideal choice because they do not require charging or any attention prior to use.\u003c\/span\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"mwc-300m-1000ft-stainless-steel-quartz-military-divers-watch-1","title":"MWC 300m \/ 1000ft Stainless Steel Quartz Military Divers Watch with 10 Year Battery Life","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"google_translate_element\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU Code: SUB\/SS\/S\/Q\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis contemporary military diver's watch in a stainless steel finish is one of our most popular models.

Traditionally, a dedicated GMT watch was the solution, but there's now a simpler alternative. Most dive watches feature a \"count-up\" bezel for diving applications. However, demand has increased for a 12-hour bezel instead. Modern divers often use a dive computer, making the traditional bezel function less critical. This change enhances the watch's flexibility while maintaining the 300m\/1000ft water resistance and classic diver watch appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12-hour bezel design is incredibly simple to use. Unlike dedicated GMT watches, which have an additional hand, you offset the bezel by the required number of hours. For example, if you are in Paris and want to know the time in Miami (6 hours behind), turn the bezel until 9 o'clock aligns with the 3-hour marker. This adjustment allows you to track time across different zones effortlessly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis watch is based on a 1960s military specification for diver's watches but features several modern upgrades. While the original 1960s models were rated for 200m (660ft) water resistance, this watch boasts a 300m (1000ft) rating. It includes a screw-down locking crown, screw caseback, Luminova for enhanced visibility, and a sophisticated hybrid movement that combines the classic sweep second hand of an automatic watch with the precision of a quartz movement. Additionally, the watch has a hacking feature for synchronization or to stop the watch and conserve power if it won't be used for an extended period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced Water Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upgraded from the original 200m (660ft) to 300m (1000ft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mechanical quartz hybrid for precision and traditional aesthetics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrown:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screw-down locking crown for enhanced security\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaseback:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screw caseback for added durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardened mineral crystal for improved resilience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllumination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luminova paint for superior visibility in low-light conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHistorical Accuracy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features an encircled \"T\" for historical authenticity while using Luminova instead of Tritium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHybrid Movement:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MWC hybrid diver's watch combines the best of both new and traditional watchmaking technologies.

These characteristics make it very appealing to military and security personnel, police officers, and those who lead active outdoor lifestyles, who account for over 70% of our customers. The original plexiglass crystals used in the 1960s were easily scratched and prone to cracking, limiting water resistance. When clients have accidents resulting in a cracked crystal, over 90% involve watches with mineral glass crystals or plexiglass. Even hardened mineral crystals do not come close to sapphire for durability under adverse conditions. Sapphire crystals are heat-treated to remove internal stresses, enhancing their strength. They are then made into watch crystals with two layers of anti-reflective coating. Sapphire crystal's robustness and durability make it a preferred choice for high-end watches and is now used in the latest iPhone models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDay\/Date Quick-Change Correction:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis watch offers the option to display the day in either English or Spanish.

Traditionally, a dedicated GMT watch was the solution, but there's now a simpler alternative. Most dive watches feature a \"count-up\" bezel for diving applications. However, demand has increased for a 12-hour bezel instead. Modern divers often use a dive computer, making the traditional bezel function less critical. This change enhances the watch's flexibility while maintaining the 300m\/1000ft water resistance and classic diver watch appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12-hour bezel design is incredibly simple to use. Unlike dedicated GMT watches, which have an additional hand, you offset the bezel by the required number of hours. For example, if you are in Paris and want to know the time in Miami (6 hours behind), turn the bezel until 9 o'clock aligns with the 3-hour marker. This adjustment allows you to track time across different zones effortlessly. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis watch is based on a 1960s military specification for diver's watches but includes several modern upgrades. While the original 1960s models were rated for 200m (660ft) water resistance, this watch boasts a 300m (1000ft) rating. It features a screw-down locking crown, screw caseback, Luminova for visibility in low light, and a sophisticated hybrid movement. This movement combines the classic sweep second hand of an automatic watch with the precision of a quartz movement. Additionally, the watch includes a hacking feature for synchronization or to stop the watch and conserve power if it won't be used for an extended period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MWC hybrid diver's watch effectively merges the best of both new and traditional watchmaking technologies. It features a hybrid ultra-low maintenance movement, where a battery powers the movement through coils and a quartz oscillator, while the hands are mechanically actuated and controlled.

The entire share capital now belongs to Patrick Hauert, keeping the company independent and strong.

Chronosport also made the Sea Quartz 30, worn by Tom Selleck in the Magnum PI TV show. Elvia, another manufacturer from the 1970s, continues to produce watches using this case, and MWC is a factory-authorized distributor for this brand. CWC and various other companies also continue to use this case design. It's interesting that few people realize how historically significant this case pattern is and how well it has stood the test of time, having been in continuous production for over 40 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe basic design of these MWC watches goes back to the British Ministry of Defence (MOD) specification shown in the two images.

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, accounting for over 70% of our customers. When clients experience accidents resulting in a cracked crystal, over 90% involve watches with mineral glass crystals. Even though we use hardened mineral crystals, they still do not come close to sapphire for durability under adverse conditions. The reason sapphire crystals are so strong is that after the sapphire glass is manufactured, it is heat-treated to remove internal stresses, which can cause weakness. Two layers of anti-reflective coating are then applied. Interestingly, sapphire crystal is now used on the latest iPhones. Of course, sapphire crystal comes at a price, so it is usually only fitted to higher-end watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MWC - Military Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50847241240906,"sku":"DIV2001SSCE\/715LI","price":269.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1140\/1866\/files\/DIV2001_SS_715LI_GS_MOD-NSN-2023b.jpg?v=1698238152"},{"product_id":"mwc-depthmaster-100atm-3-280ft-1000m-water-resistant-military-divers-watch-in-a-pvd-titanium-case-with-luminova-and-a-helium-valve-quartz","title":"MWC \"Depthmaster\" 100atm \/ 3,280ft \/ 1000m Water Resistant Military Divers Watch in a PVD Titanium Case with Luminova and a Helium Valve, Swiss Quartz Movement with a Ten Year Battery Life","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU: \u003c\/strong\u003eT100AT\/12\/PVD\/QZ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"369\" data-end=\"700\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong data-start=\"373\" data-end=\"392\"\u003eMWC Titanium Depthmaster\u003c\/strong\u003e is our latest heavy-duty professional dive watch and is engineered for extreme environments.

Aside from a few minor updates, the case remains much the same as in the late 1970s. MRP was founded in 1953 by Marchand, Roth, and Petignat, and it was bought by Georges Hauert in 1979. The entire share capital now belongs to Patrick Hauert, keeping the company independent and strong.

Chronosport also made the Sea Quartz 30, worn by Tom Selleck in the Magnum PI TV show. Elvia, another manufacturer from the 1970s, continues to produce watches using this case, and MWC is a factory-authorized distributor for this brand. CWC and various other companies also continue to use this case design. It's interesting that few people realize how historically significant this case pattern is and how well it has stood the test of time, having been in continuous production for over 40 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe basic design of these MWC watches goes back to the British Ministry of Defence (MOD) specification shown in the two images. The current NATO stock number allocation reflects the multiple improvements made possible by advancements in technology over the past three decades.

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, accounting for over 70% of our customers. When clients experience accidents resulting in a cracked crystal, over 90% involve watches with mineral glass crystals. Even though we use hardened mineral crystals, they still do not come close to sapphire for durability under adverse conditions. The reason sapphire crystals are so strong is that after the sapphire glass is manufactured, it is heat-treated to remove internal stresses, which can cause weakness. Two layers of anti-reflective coating are then applied. Interestingly, sapphire crystal is now used on the latest iPhones. Of course, sapphire crystal comes at a price, so it is usually only fitted to higher-end watches.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MWC - Military Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63632213868874,"sku":"DV2001SSCE\/715LIBL","price":295.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1140\/1866\/files\/DV2001SSCE_715LIBL.png?v=1790086806"},{"product_id":"mwc-1999-2001-pattern-quartz-day-date-military-divers-watch-with-stainless-steel-case-and-sapphire-crystal-on-a-matching-bracelet","title":"MWC 1999-2001 Pattern Quartz Day\/Date Military Divers Watch with Stainless Steel Case and Sapphire Crystal on a Matching Bracelet","description":"\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSKU: DIV2001\/DD\/SSBL\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMWC 300m Quartz Military Diver’s Watch \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCombining a classic military dial with modern materials, this MWC diver’s watch features a Swiss Ronda day\/date movement, sapphire crystal and a matching stainless steel bracelet.
