MWC 300m Hybrid Diver – Vintage Military Spec (Steel Bracelet)

SKU: SM/SUB/ST31RL/BL

This MWC diver's watch is based on a 1960s military specification, but with several modern upgrades that enhance durability, functionality, and ease of maintenance—while retaining its rugged vintage charm.


Upgraded for Modern Demands

While the original 1960s models were water resistant to 200m (660ft), this version has been upgraded to a 300m / 1000ft rating, making it ideal for both professional diving and everyday use. Additional features include:

  • Screw-down locking crown

  • Screw-in caseback

  • Luminova dial with a historically accurate encircled “T”

  • Mechanical-quartz hybrid movement for exceptional performance

The watch is paired with a matching stainless steel bracelet, delivering a robust and cohesive design.


Hybrid Movement Technology

This watch features a sophisticated hybrid movement that merges the visual appeal of a mechanical timepiece with the precision and low-maintenance reliability of quartz:

  • Battery-powered, regulated by a quartz oscillator

  • Mechanically actuated hands with a smooth sweeping motion

  • No mainspring, eliminating the need for winding

  • Includes a hacking function for precise time setting or to pause the movement when not in use

This results in a watch that combines classic aesthetics with modern dependability—perfect for collectors and professionals alike.


Luminova with Military Styling

Although this model uses Luminova (which is non-radioactive and long-lasting), it features the encircled “T” seen on historical military watches that originally used Tritium. This detail preserves the military design language while providing improved safety and longevity.
