Factory Description
SKU Code: MKIII/AU/SS/1224
The MKIII variant features an unbranded dial, a popular request among MWC clients. This MKIII automatic watch is inspired by the classic 1950s NATO-spec watches made under UK Ministry of Defence reference 6B/346 Mk XI. While it maintains the original style, it offers significantly improved accuracy thanks to a modern 24-jewel automatic movement with a 41-hour power reserve and hacking function.
Today, budget constraints mean that military forces rarely invest in watches of this caliber. In the past, military suppliers included Rolex, IWC, Omega, Longines, and other renowned brands. The MKIII was created for those who desire a military-style watch that is built to a high standard. It features a high-performance movement and a brushed stainless steel case designed in the 1950/60s style, manufactured and hand-finished in Zurich. The model has been recently upgraded with a scratch- and shatter-resistant sapphire crystal with a non-reflective coating.
The MKIII is built to be robust, with a screw-down caseback and crown, high accuracy, and water resistance to 100m (330ft).
