MWC G10 100m PVD Stealth Military Watch with Fixed Strap Bars, 10 Year Battery Life, Screw Crown & Caseback

Product Details

SKU Code: G10/PVD/100M

The MWC 100m G10 models are among the worlds highest specification general service watches with a water resistance rating of 100m/330ft, screw-down crown and caseback, fixed strap bars and incredible 10-year battery life.

Although this G10/98 Specification watch traces it's origins right back to our earliest G10 designs from the 1980s when this 100m model was introduced for contracts in 2009 it represented the most radical upgrade and specification enhancement since we updated the standard 50m G10 models 5 years earlier in 2004.

Whilst the screw-down crown and screw caseback greatly improve the water-resistance the Ronda 715li movement with 10-year battery life significantly reduces the maintenance requirements of the watch. The special covert matt black non-reflective PVD finish of this model is often specified in military contracts for many special forces units. In the PVD process, the steel is not black all the way through because the colour is created by a special chemical PVD plating process which is vastly superior to painted finishes used on some lower quality watches which can quickly fade or rub off. This PVD process means that the colour of the steel is altered at a molecular level, therefore it will not deteriorate even during heavy usage although it can be compromised if the case is badly damaged by a piece of metal being gouged out or if it's worn down by really heavy abrasion against rocks or something similar.

Interestingly we have seen some of our PVD divers watches coming in for service which we made over 20 years ago and often the watch is in very poor condition with significant damage and signs of wear and tear but the PVD case is usually still in excellent condition confirming that the PVD finish is very durable in the long term. You also need to factor in that the PVD process has improved over the years so there is even less chance of current production watches deteriorating as they become older.

If you are looking for a solid black stainless steel military watch that is both discreet and has a high water resistance rating then this model is probably ideal.

The G10 100m Stealth is very rugged and is designed to survive the most extreme of conditions. It is supplied with a current issue black NATO webbing strap although we can supply most other colours as additional straps in the NATO strap section such as grey, grey/black known as "James Bond pattern", navy or olive. The back of the case bears various contract markings in addition to the watches serial number.

    *Some countries are notoriously slow to process goods on arrival, including Israel, Hong Kong, Macau, Mexico, South Africa, and some South American countries. Significant delays can also occur in other countries in Africa. For time-sensitive deliveries, we recommend using UPS, DHL, or FedEx.

    All shipping estimates exclude Saturdays and Sundays.

    While we strive to deliver within the above timeframes, they are guides, and delivery cannot be guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by couriers or any national postal service. If your goods are not delivered within the estimated time, please contact us at admin@mwc.watch, and we will do our best to resolve the issue promptly. We are not liable for any loss caused by late delivery.

    Our delivery charges cover the cost of shipping to you but do not include import charges and administration fees to clear the goods when entering your country if applicable.

    It is the purchaser's responsibility to understand that charges may be levied and to pay all subsequent import taxes and duties on goods shipped to their country. If items are returned to MWC due to rejected payment, subsequent charges incurred (such as import duty and processing costs) will be deducted from any refund issued.

    If you need to clarify any details regarding local taxes for your location, please contact us before placing an order. For clarification, goods shipped to the EU can be dispatched from our EU location if ordered at https://mwc.eu/, and we also have a dedicated UK shipping center at https://mwcwatches.co.uk/.

    We do not accept liability for goods lost after delivery to a PO Box. We reserve the right to cancel orders where the delivery address is a PO Box. Similarly, we do not accept liability for goods lost after confirmed delivery to APO or BFPO locations.

    Customer Notification: It is the customer's responsibility to notify us if goods are not received within 21 days of the estimated delivery date. If no notification is made within this period, the buyer is deemed to have received the goods.

    Safe Place Deliveries

    Some delivery companies allow for delivery without a signature, leaving the item in a "safe place" (e.g., shed, garage, porch). If you choose this option, it is at your own risk. We initially send items by a secure service requiring a signature or proof of delivery. Using a "safe place" increases the risk of theft. We advise ensuring deliveries require a signature to ensure safe receipt.

    Failed Deliveries

    If an item is refused and returned to us, we will refund the order less the outbound and inbound shipping charges once the item is received back at our packing and shipping center. For business locations, please notify the receiving personnel of the expected delivery to avoid refusals. Usually, we will be notified of delivery issues and will email you for instructions. It is important to act quickly to avoid return and associated costs.
