We acquire these watches from various defence auctions and other disposal sales. Frequently, we find that there is actually nothing wrong with the watch; however, it’s assumed there may be a minor fault, though in most cases, it’s very minor or as described below. These watches are offered at a low cost due to time constraints faced by our service staff in the UK and elsewhere. Typically, they receive only a quick inspection, with no obvious issues. Still, we assume either no significant faults are present or any potential issues will be minor, typically resolved with a service, repair, or battery exchange depending on the model.

FACTORY DESCRIPTION
SKU Code: G1012/24
This model, featuring a U.S. 12/24 hour dial format, descends directly from the G10 watches we made in the 1980s. It retains the popular battery hatch, which has been discarded by most other manufacturers. Initially employed because early quartz batteries lasted only about a year, the hatch is now more of a historical feature, with current batteries lasting up to five years.
This watch also benefits from Luminova for enhanced night visibility. Luminova acts like a light battery, glowing after exposure to sunlight or artificial light. The glow gradually fades, but larger markings often remain visible throughout the night. This activation and emission process can be repeated indefinitely without material degradation. Notably, Luminova pigments are completely radioactivity-free.
Our G10 is one of MWC's most proven models, with early versions in service for over 40 years. This model has been extensively field-tested by military personnel across a variety of deployments, consistently receiving positive feedback. If you're seeking a robust black stainless steel military watch, this is an ideal choice. Its screw-down locking crown offers superior protection compared to more vulnerable push-in crowns.
Each G10 comes with a NATO webbing strap, and the back of the case features various contract markings and an individual serial number.
