MWC 100m Water Resistant Retro Pattern General Service Watch with Hybrid Mechanical/Quartz Movement
SKU Code: CLA/UNB/W10 This retro-style MWC military watch is inspired by the classic designs used by the British Army in the 1960s. While it retains the original outward appearance, it features several discreet updates to improve its suitability for modern-day use. One significant upgrade is the transition from an acrylic to a glass crystal, enhancing its water resistance to meet current standards. Additionally, the watch boasts a hybrid mechanical/quartz movement, combining the best of both traditional and contemporary watchmaking technology. MWC hybrid watches merge features from both automatic and quartz models, resulting in a hybrid ultra-low maintenance movement. This movement is powered by a battery that drives the coils and quartz oscillator, but the hands are mechanically actuated and controlled. Essentially, the movement is mechanical, powered by a battery and regulated by a crystal, minus the spring. This makes it an ideal choice for those who prefer the sweep secondhand of an automatic watch but with the hassle-free maintenance benefits of a quartz watch. This watch features a robust stainless steel satin finish case made from Military Grade 316L stainless steel. It includes a sweep second hand, hacking function, black dial, and luminous markings. It also comes with two NATO straps, one in grey and one in black, for versatile style options.
