Factory Description
SKU Code: T2/G10SL/1224
This MWC self-luminous G10 model is part of the Combat Elite range. It features: ✔ Titanium case with 300m (1000ft) water resistance ✔ Screw-down crown & caseback for enhanced durability ✔ Scratch-resistant sapphire crystal ✔ GTLS Tritium vials on hands and markers for superior night visibility ✔ Luminova-coated digits and triangle markers for additional low-light performance
The MWC 300m titanium G10 is one of the highest-specification general service watches available today. Combining both traditional and modern watchmaking technology, this model retains all the popular features of conventional 300m steel models while introducing a lightweight titanium case, ultra-low maintenance movement, and cutting-edge self-luminous GTLS tritium vials, ensuring unbeatable night visibility.
The shatter and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal further enhances durability, making this watch an ideal timepiece for military, law enforcement, and security applications.
Superior Night Visibility – GTLS Tritium Technology
This model adheres to American Military Specification Number: MIL-W-46374F and is the 12/24-hour North American market version.
Unlike traditional luminous paint, the GTLS self-luminous system does not require external light sources for charging. Each hour marker, hour hand, and minute hand contains a Tritium gas vial, making this one of the easiest watches in the world to read in complete darkness.
Even though these vials contain radioactive gas, their combined radiation level is well below the 25-millicurie personal limit, as regulated by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR 30.15).
The self-activated light sources are 100 times brighter than conventional luminous paint, require no battery power or maintenance, and have a life expectancy of at least 10 years before they begin to fade.
MWC developed these watches for a government contract, where the requirement was to withstand long-term storage without the risk of dead batteries. To address this, MWC selected the Swiss Ronda 715li movement, which offers a 10-year battery life, ensuring that it is always ready for deployment.
The standard MWC G10 has been a trusted military timepiece for over 30 years. While this model retains a similar design to the steel versions, the titanium case places it in a separate class of military watches.
Each G10 Combat Elite model comes with a durable NATO webbing strap, and the reverse of the case carries military contract markings.

Why Sapphire Crystal?
Many customers ask why sapphire crystal is superior to standard mineral glass. Here’s why:
✅ Scratch Resistance – Sapphire is highly resistant to scratches, making it ideal for rugged environments. ✅ Shatter Resistance – Heat-treated during manufacturing, sapphire crystal is stronger and more impact-resistant than mineral glass. ✅ Anti-Reflective Coating – Two layers of AR coating improve clarity and reduce glare. ✅ Used in High-End Products – Sapphire crystal is used in premium devices, including the latest iPhones.
💡 Did You Know? Over 90% of cracked watch crystals result from accidents involving mineral glass, even when it’s hardened. Sapphire crystal drastically reduces the risk of breakage, making it the preferred choice for military personnel, law enforcement, and outdoor professionals.
