Below is a comprehensive description of this watch, including full details on dimensions, specifications, and other relevant information directly from the factory.
Background
We acquire these watches from defense auctions and other disposal sales. In many cases, we find no issues with them, especially when labeled as fault-free. Watches like this are sold at a low cost due to time constraints faced by service personnel in the UK and elsewhere. Typically, these watches receive only a quick inspection. When described as fault-free, we usually find no apparent problems upon our own inspection.

Fault: Currently not running. The cause is unknown, though, in the worst-case scenario, if it’s not just a battery issue, replacing the Ronda 715li movement is affordable.

MWC G10 Combat Elite: Titanium Model
Introducing the latest addition to our Combat Elite range, the MWC G10. This model features a titanium case with 300m (1000ft) water resistance, a screw-down crown, a screw caseback, a scratch and shatter-resistant sapphire crystal, and Luminova for optimal nighttime performance.
The MWC 300m Titanium G10, powered by a Swiss Ronda 715li movement, is one of our highest specification general service watches. It combines the best of traditional and modern watchmaking technology, retaining all the popular features of the conventional 300m steel models but enhancing them with a titanium case, ultra-low maintenance movement, Luminova, and a shatter and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. This makes it the ideal timepiece for military, law enforcement, and security applications.
These watches were specifically designed for a government contract, where it was essential that they remain reliable even after extended periods in storage. The Ronda 715li movement, with its 10-year battery life, ensures the watch is always ready for use.
The standard MWC G10 is one of the most tried and tested military watches, with a history spanning around 40 years. While this model shares a similar design to the steel versions, the titanium case elevates it into a unique class. The G10 Combat Elite range comes with a NATO webbing strap, and the case back features various contract markings.

Benefits of Sapphire Crystal:
Synthetic sapphire is the best material for watch crystals due to its exceptional strength and resistance to shattering and scratching. These characteristics make it highly desirable for military and security personnel, police officers, and those with active outdoor lifestyles—groups that make up over 70% of our customers. Our experience shows that over 90% of cracked crystals occur in watches with mineral glass, even when hardened. Sapphire crystal's durability is enhanced through heat treatment to remove internal stresses, followed by the application of two layers of anti-reflective coating. While more expensive, sapphire crystal is typically reserved for higher-end watches due to its superior durability and clarity. Interestingly, it is also used in the latest iPhone models.
