MWC G10BH PVD 12/24 50m Water Resistant Military Watch with Battery Hatch, Fixed Strap Bars, Sapphire Crystal and 60 Month Battery Life

SKU: G101224PVD/2

MWC G10 PVD Military Watch with 12/24 Hour Dial and Sapphire Crystal

A modern evolution of the classic G10 model we first produced in the 1980s, this watch features a U.S.-style 12/24 hour dial format and stays true to its heritage with design elements like the original battery hatch—a rare feature today. While modern batteries now last around 5 years, the hatch remains a favored detail for both practical and historical reasons.

Key Features

• Luminova Dial Markings
  Offers excellent nighttime visibility. Luminova charges via exposure to light and glows through the night without fading permanently—non-radioactive and long-lasting.

• Matte Black PVD Finish
  The non-reflective, covert finish is specified in military contracts for special forces and covert operations. The PVD process bonds color to the steel at a molecular level, far superior to painted finishes. While resistant to wear, it can show damage from extreme abrasion or gouging.

• Screw-Down Crown
  Unlike push-in crowns, this locking crown offers enhanced water resistance and durability, especially in demanding environments.

• Sapphire Crystal
  Highly scratch and shatter-resistant, ideal for military, law enforcement, and outdoor use. Treated with anti-reflective coating for optimal clarity.

Why Sapphire Crystal?

Over 70% of our customers are professionals operating in extreme conditions—military personnel, police officers, and outdoor adventurers. For them, sapphire crystal is essential:

• Scratch and shatter-resistant
• Heat-treated to eliminate internal stresses
• Dual anti-reflective coating
• Stronger and longer-lasting than mineral glass
• The same material used in modern smartphones like the iPhone

While more expensive, sapphire is a worthwhile upgrade for anyone needing a truly robust timepiece.
