This stainless steel military diver’s watch is one of MWC’s latest GTLS models, featuring a high-performance Ronda 715li movement with an incredible 10-year battery life. It is equipped with Tritium GTLS self-luminous light sources, a shatter-resistant sapphire crystal, and a ceramic bezel, which is far more scratch-resistant and durable than aluminum. This model offers outstanding value for a self-luminous Tritium diver’s watch with such a high specification.

Superior Night Visibility

The Gaseous Tritium Light Sources (GTLS) make this one of the most visible watches in low-light or nighttime conditions. The Tritium vials on the H3 dial shine up to 100 times brighter than standard luminous dials, ensuring instant readability at a glance.

Why Choose Sapphire Crystal?

Many customers ask about the benefits of sapphire crystal compared to standard mineral glass. Synthetic sapphire is the strongest material used for watch crystals, offering exceptional scratch resistance and shatter resistance.

This durability makes it ideal for military personnel, security forces, police officers, and outdoor enthusiasts, who account for over 70% of our customers. Our experience shows that in cases of accidental crystal damage, more than 90% involve mineral glass, even when hardened.

What makes sapphire crystal so strong?

After manufacturing, sapphire glass undergoes heat treatment to eliminate internal stresses, which could otherwise cause weaknesses. It is then crafted into watch crystals and coated with two layers of anti-reflective treatment for enhanced visibility.

Interestingly, sapphire crystal is now also used in the latest iPhone screens due to its extreme durability. While it increases the cost of a watch, it is a premium feature found in high-end timepieces, providing superior longevity and resilience under extreme conditions.
