The G10LM is a contemporary general service field watch featuring a high-visibility white dial with strong contrast for easy readability. This model, like the rest of the G10LM range, is crafted with distinct specifications that set it apart from similar watches. Unlike many manufacturers that use push-on casebacks, the G10LM is equipped with a screw-down caseback, significantly improving its water resistance. Additionally, while many watches use perspex or plexiglass crystals, MWC opts for real glass, making the watch more scratch-resistant and giving it a sleeker look.
The special covert matte black non-reflective PVD finish on this watch is often specified in military contracts for special forces, anti-terrorist units, and covert operations. In the PVD process, the steel itself isn’t black throughout; instead, the color is achieved through a specialized chemical plating technique. This method is far superior to the painted finishes found on lower-quality watches, which tend to fade or wear off easily. The PVD process alters the steel at a molecular level, ensuring long-lasting durability even under heavy use. However, the finish can be damaged if the case is gouged by metal or subjected to severe abrasion against rocks or similar materials.
The G10LM series offers a wide selection of options, including standard stainless steel cases, black PVD steel models, and various dial formats such as European 12-hour dials and U.S. NATO-style 12/24-hour dials. Customers can also choose between models with or without a date window, as well as different strap colors.
One of the most notable differences between this watch and similar models from other manufacturers is the price. Comparable watches often cost more than three times the price of the G10LM, making it an excellent value for its features.
