2012 MWC MIL-TEC MKIII Gunmetal Stainless Steel Military Pilots Chronograph (Needs Attention)
This watch is in clean condition but has experienced an impact on the crystal at some point. It features a Ronda 5040.D movement, which uses a widely available battery. The watch is not currently running but it is 12 years old so that would be expected in all probability. The primary issue is simply the battery but we haven't checked it so cannot be 100% sure.
Original Manufacturer's Description from 2012
Product Code: MTECIII/GM
The new Mil-Tec MKIII "GM" Limited Edition introduces several significant improvements over the earlier MKII version. These include the addition of a screw-down crown and a larger case size for enhanced visibility. The increased case size, now 45mm, is especially important when the watch is used in various military and aviation applications, as well as for day-to-day tasks that require precise timekeeping. Although specifically designed for military aircrews, this watch is also ideal for airline and general aviation (GA) pilots.
The chronograph is powered by a Swiss-made Ronda 5040.D movement, offering an extended battery life of 54 months. One of the key advantages of this movement is its use of a standard 395 battery, widely available at most watchmakers and jewelers due to its prevalence in high-quality quartz watches.
Another notable feature is the use of screw strap pins, which combine the strength of fixed military pins with the flexibility of spring pins. This allows the strap to be easily removed and replaced, enabling compatibility with a wide variety of strap types.
