Factory Description

SKU Code: G10SL/PV/300

The MWC G10 SL MKVI is among the highest-specification G10 military watches available. It features:

  • Self-luminous GTLS tritium vials for superior visibility in low-light conditions
  • Sapphire crystal for enhanced scratch and shatter resistance
  • Heavy-duty PVD stainless steel case for durability
  • 300m (1000ft) water resistance
  • Screw-down crown and caseback
  • 10-year battery life

This model merges traditional and modern technology, retaining the best features of conventional G10 Luminova models while integrating advanced self-luminous GTLS technology. The specification adheres to U.S. Military Specification Number: MIL-W-46374F.

Superior Night Visibility

The self-luminous system ensures unmatched legibility in darkness. The hour and minute hands each contain a brightly glowing tritium gas vial. While these vials contain a small amount of radioactive gas, they comply with U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations (10 CFR 30.15) and are well below the personal exposure limit of 25 millicuries.

Unlike traditional luminous paint, GTLS vials do not require charging from an external light source, making them 100 times brighter and maintenance-free. The expected lifespan of the illumination is approximately 10 years, after which it will gradually fade.

This model shares a similar casing with MWC’s Luminova-based G10 models, ensuring the same level of durability. The reverse of the case carries various military contract markings.

Why Sapphire Crystal?

Sapphire crystal is a premium feature prized for its:

✅ Superior scratch resistance
High shatter resistance
Enhanced clarity with anti-reflective coatings

Unlike mineral glass, which can be prone to cracking, sapphire undergoes a specialized heat treatment process to eliminate internal stress, followed by an anti-reflective coating for maximum visibility. While sapphire does add to the production cost, its unmatched durability and resilience make it a worthwhile investment—especially for military personnel, security professionals, and police officers, who make up over 70% of our customer base.

For those seeking unparalleled reliability and long-term performance, the MWC G10SL/PV/300 is an outstanding choice.
