SKU: G101224PVD/2 MWC G10 PVD Military Watch with 12/24 Hour Dial and Sapphire Crystal A modern evolution of the classic G10 model we first produced in the 1980s, this watch features a U.S.-style 12/24 hour dial format and stays true to its heritage with design elements like the original battery hatch—a rare feature today. While modern batteries now last around 5 years, the hatch remains a favored detail for both practical and historical reasons. Key Features Luminova Dial MarkingsOffers excellent nighttime visibility. Luminova charges via exposure to light and glows through the night without fading permanently—non-radioactive and long-lasting. Matte Black PVD FinishThe non-reflective, covert finish is specified in military contracts for special forces and covert operations. The PVD process bonds color to the steel at a molecular level, far superior to painted finishes. While resistant to wear, it can show damage from extreme abrasion or gouging. Screw-Down CrownUnlike push-in crowns, this locking crown offers enhanced water resistance and durability, especially in demanding environments. Sapphire CrystalHighly scratch and shatter-resistant, ideal for military, law enforcement, and outdoor use. Treated with anti-reflective coating for optimal clarity. Why Sapphire Crystal? Over 70% of our customers are professionals operating in extreme conditions—military personnel, police officers, and outdoor adventurers. For them, sapphire crystal is essential: Scratch and shatter-resistant Heat-treated to eliminate internal stresses Dual anti-reflective coating Stronger and longer-lasting than mineral glass The same material used in modern smartphones like the iPhone While more expensive, sapphire is a worthwhile upgrade for anyone needing a truly robust timepiece.
