Tritium GTLS Illumination

This watch uses self-activated GTLS (Gaseous Tritium Light Sources), making it 100 times brighter than traditional luminous paint. Unlike regular luminous materials, which require external charging from a light source, GTLS vials glow continuously without the need for batteries or maintenance.

Each hour marker, hour hand, and minute hand contains a GTLS vial for exceptional night-time readability. While the vials contain a small amount of radioactive gas, their total activity remains well below the 25 millicurie personal limit, as regulated by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (10 CFR 30.15).

Designed for Military & Tactical Use

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 it is always ready for deployment.

The standard MWC G10 has been a trusted military timepiece since the 1980s, and while this model follows the same overall design, the titanium case places it in a league of its own.

Why Choose Sapphire Crystal?

Many customers ask why sapphire crystal is superior to standard mineral glass. Here’s why:

✅ Scratch Resistance – Sapphire is incredibly resistant to scratches, making it ideal for tough 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 enhance readability.
✅ Used in High-End Devices – Sapphire crystal is now used on the latest iPhone screens, proving its durability.

Over 70% of our customers are military personnel, police officers, and security professionals, all of whom demand the most durable materials. While hardened mineral glass is still used in many watches, over 90% of cracked crystals we see are mineral glass, making sapphire the clear choice for long-term reliability.
