Limited Edition Remake of our 1979 Mk III Military Watch with 100m Water Resistance, 24 Jewel Automatic Movement and Sapphire Crystal
SKU Code: MKIII/79/SS/AU This Limited Edition MKIII variant in stainless steel features the same dial pattern as a model MWC made in 1979. All MKIII automatic models are recreations of the classic 1950s NATO specification watches, originally made under the UK Ministry of Defence reference 6B/346 Mk XI. This particular model is a recreation of a MKIII variant last sold in 1979. While it maintains the vintage style of the 1950s, it incorporates modern technology for greatly improved accuracy, utilizing a modern 24-jewel NH35 automatic movement with up to a 41-hour power reserve and hacking function, plus a shatter and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. Due to budget constraints, modern military forces can no longer afford watches of this quality, opting for cheaper models that meet their needs. Historically, forces worldwide purchased watches from brands like Rolex, IWC, Omega, and Longines. Those days are gone, but many still desire a military pattern watch with higher specifications.
