MWC 1940s/1950s "Dirty Dozen" Pattern General Service Watch with 24-Jewel Swiss Sellita SW216 Movement and Domed Vintage Box Sapphire Crystal
SKU Code: W10/445-23CH This classic hand-wound, 24-jewel MWC military watch, inspired by the 1940s/1950s design patterns, features a Swiss Sellita SW216 movement and a small subsidiary dial second hand. It retains the original appearance of the watches used by the British military during that era, while the improved water resistance of 100m (330 feet) and the shatter and scratch-resistant sapphire box crystal enhance its durability. Despite these enhancements, the crystal maintains the look of the original plexiglass without its drawbacks. This watch boasts a heavy stainless steel satin finish case made from Military Grade 316L stainless steel, a subsidiary dial second hand, a screw-down crown, a hacking function, a black dial with luminous markings, and a historically accurate canvas strap reminiscent of the 1940s and 50s.
