DESCRIPTION

SKU Code: UK/W10/ORL

This automatic self winding 1960's pattern MWC military watch is based on the typical designs used by the British Army from the late 1940s to the 1960s, it retains the acrylic crystal as used on the original watches although the mechanical movement is upgraded to automatic with the option to hand wind if required. The watch offers the benefit of retaining the original outward appearance even as far as the retro luminous paint whilst having the advantage of a a few discreet updates to improve its suitability for use on a day to day basis. 

This watch has a heavy stainless steel satin finish case made from Military Grade 316L stainless steel, sweep second hand, hacking function, black dial and luminous markings. It also has two straps made in the same canvas material and general design which was used in the 1940s and 50s. Please note: The watch uses retro coloured Luminous Super Luminova paint although the watch carries an encircled T for historical accuracy though no radioactive material is contained within the watch. This watch is water resistant to 3 ATM. For details of water resistance ratings etc go to: Water Resistance
