This automatic self-winding MWC military watch pays tribute to the iconic British forces designs of the 1940s and 1950s. Featuring a small subsidiary seconds dial, it faithfully captures the style of the originals while integrating modern enhancements for durability and reliability.
Vintage Look, Modern Performance:The watch retains the vintage aesthetic of the original models, including the appearance of an acrylic crystal, thanks to a modern sapphire box crystal that is virtually indistinguishable but far more scratch and shatter resistant.
Upgraded Movement:While the original featured a hand-wound mechanical movement, this model uses a 21-jewel self-winding automatic movement that can also be manually wound if preferred.
Robust Build:Constructed from Military Grade 316L stainless steel with a satin finish for a rugged yet classic look.
Enhanced Legibility:Black dial with luminous markings and a subsidiary second-hand dial for precise timekeeping.
Historically Accurate Strap:Comes with a canvas strap styled after those used by the British military during the 1940s and 50s.

Historical Context
The final image showcases the original dozen military watches produced by iconic companies such as Buren, Cyma, Eterna, Grana, Jaeger Le-Coultre, Lemania, Longines, IWC, Omega, Record, Timor, and Vertex. Although MWC was founded in 1974 and was not a manufacturer at that time, this watch captures the true spirit and heritage of those classics.
