This MWC model is a direct descendant of the G10 watches we made in the 1980s, retaining the popular battery hatch—a feature discarded by most other manufacturers. Initially, the battery hatch was essential because early quartz watch batteries lasted only about a year. Now, with modern batteries lasting around five years, the hatch serves as a nostalgic design detail.

Key Features:

• Heritage Design: Directly descended from our original G10 watches from the 1980s, retaining the historically popular battery hatch for authenticity.
• Long-Term Reliability: This variant of MWC's G10 has been extensively evaluated by military personnel worldwide for over 40 years, earning high praise for its durability and long-term reliability. The screw-down locking crown provides superior protection compared to more vulnerable push-in crowns.
• Enhanced Nighttime Visibility: Utilizes Luminova for improved nighttime visibility. After sufficient activation by sunlight or artificial light, the dial glows in the dark. Larger markings often remain visible throughout the night. This process can be repeated indefinitely without aging, and Luminova pigments are completely free of radioactivity.
• Rugged and Durable: Designed to withstand extreme conditions, this watch is supplied with both a current issue grey NATO webbing strap and a black strap. A wide range of additional strap colors is also available for purchase.
