MWC 1940s/50s Pattern Automatic Military Watch
SKU Code: DD/01/AU
A Timeless Classic Reimagined for Everyday Wear
This self-winding automatic military watch from MWC is inspired by the iconic designs issued to British forces in the 1940s and 1950s. Featuring a small subsidiary seconds dial, this watch pays homage to the legendary "Dirty Dozen" models—now collectors’ items—but with subtle upgrades that make it more practical for modern daily use.
While the hand-wound mechanical movement used in the originals has been upgraded to a reliable 21-jewel automatic, we’ve kept the authentic look intact—right down to the acrylic crystal and canvas strap—to maintain historical accuracy.
Wartime Style, Modern Performance
Automatic Movement: The upgraded self-winding automatic movement also allows for manual winding when needed—offering both convenience and heritage charm.
Authentic Materials: The crystal is made from Plexiglass (Perspex), just like the originals, and the watch is fitted with an 18mm canvas strap reminiscent of the 1940s and 50s military issue.
Satin-Finished Stainless Steel Case: Crafted from 316L military-grade stainless steel, the case is tough, corrosion-resistant, and designed to endure.
A Nod to the Original “Dirty Dozen”
The final image on the product page showcases the famous 12 original manufacturers who produced watches for the British War Office: Buren, Cyma, Eterna, Grana, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Lemania, Longines, IWC, Omega, Record, Timor, and Vertex.
Although MWC was founded in 1974 and was not part of the original group, this watch is made in the spirit of the legendary WWII timepieces—blending historical character with modern reliability.
