This MWC military watch is sold with full disclosure of its condition and any reported issues. Although these watches are typically acquired from defense auctions and disposal sales, most units have no significant faults despite initial concerns. In fact, many are found to function perfectly upon inspection. However, due to time constraints, our service staff only conduct a preliminary check.
As a result, while the watch may display minor or intermittent issues, it often simply requires a service, repair, or battery replacement, depending on the model.

Product Overview
This automatic self-winding MWC watch draws inspiration from the classic 1940s/1950s British military designs. It features a subsidiary dial for the second hand and retains the original acrylic crystal, just like its vintage counterparts. However, unlike the hand-winding movement of the originals, this model has been upgraded to a self-winding automatic movement that can also be manually wound for added convenience.
With subtle modern updates, this watch balances authentic vintage aesthetics with daily practicality.
Key Features:
✔ 316L military-grade stainless steel case with a satin finish ✔ Hacking function for precise time-setting ✔ Black dial with luminous markings for visibility ✔ Historically accurate 1950s-pattern canvas strap

While MWC was not among the original manufacturers (founded in 1974), this watch has been carefully designed to capture the spirit of those classics.
