Model: DD/01/AU Condition: Very good – see note below regarding minor fault Fault: The watch is running, but the hour hand needs to be reset as it's slightly out of sync with the minute hand. Otherwise, all functions are normal.
Product Overview
This DD/01/AU is a classic military watch design based on the 1940s/1950s British military timepieces. Manufactured by MWC, it combines historical accuracy with subtle modern enhancements to ensure daily wearability.
This model uses a self-winding automatic movement (which can also be manually wound) in place of the original hand-wound type but retains all key visual features – including an acrylic crystal and black dial with luminous indices. The case is crafted from military-grade 316L stainless steel and fitted with a canvas strap true to the era.

The final image shows the original "Dirty Dozen" watches produced for the British Ministry of Defence during WWII by twelve renowned manufacturers: Buren, Cyma, Eterna, Grana, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Lemania, Longines, IWC, Omega, Record, Timor, and Vertex.
Though MWC was founded in 1974, well after these originals were issued, this model is built very much in the spirit of those historic timepieces.
