DESCRIPTION
The self-luminous system ensures easy readability at night. The MKV model features a distinctive face layout, with the hour and minute hands each containing a brightly glowing vial of tritium gas. Additionally, it has two lights at the 12 o'clock position, a unique feature to MWC. While the vials contain radioactive gas, their combined amount is well below the personal limit of 25 millicuries, as per U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations (10 CFR 30.15).
Military watches of this type are among the easiest to read in low light or total darkness. The self-activated light source is up to 100 times brighter than traditional luminous paint. These light-emitting tubes require no battery power or any form of charging and never need servicing or maintenance. Their life expectancy is at least 10 years, after which they gradually fade.
The standard MWC G10 is one of our most tried and tested models, with earlier variants in service for over 40 years. This model shares a similar casing to the Luminova models, ensuring the same level of durability as our non-tritium versions.
The G10 SL MKV is supplied with a heavyweight NATO webbing strap. The reverse of the case features various contract markings.
