Overview
The MWC W10 Automatic is a modern upgrade of their classic 1960s/70s British military watch. While it keeps the original design, this version adds the toughness and reliability expected today: 100m water resistance, a screw-down crown, and a durable Seiko NH35A automatic movement.
Key Features
- Classic design, modern upgrades – enhanced 100m (330ft) water resistance and a screw-down crown.
- Military-grade build – 316L stainless steel satin finish case, hardened mineral crystal, solid fixed strap bars.
- Reliable movement – Seiko NH35A automatic with 24 jewels, 41-hour power reserve, and manual winding option.
- Easy servicing – screw caseback (unlike earlier W10s requiring crystal removal).
- Supplied ready to wear – includes two 18mm NATO straps (1 x Grey, 1 x Black), gift box, and guarantee card.
Historical Note
The original hand-wound W10 was the predecessor to the quartz G10/98 models still in service today. In 1980, the British MoD even considered adapting the W10 case for quartz, but movements of the era were too thick — leading to the redesigned G10 pattern.
