This model with a U.S. pattern 12/24 hour dial format is a direct descendant of the G10 watches we made back in the 1980s. It retains the popular battery hatch, a feature that has been discarded by most other manufacturers. The battery hatch was originally used because early quartz watch batteries lasted only around a year. Today, with the battery on this watch lasting around five years, the hatch is more of a design detail, though it remains popular for historical reasons.

DESCRIPTION

The watch also benefits from Luminova for improved nighttime visibility. Luminova functions like a light battery: after sufficient activation by sunlight or artificial light, it glows in the dark until the luminosity gradually fades. Larger markings are often visible throughout the night. This activation and emission process is repeatable indefinitely, and Luminova does not suffer from aging. Additionally, Luminova pigments are completely free of radioactivity.

Our G10 is one of our most tried and tested models, with earlier variants in service for over 40 years. A large number of military personnel have evaluated this model and its predecessors over lengthy periods in a variety of deployments, and the feedback has always been very favorable. If you are looking for a solid black stainless steel military watch, this would be an ideal choice. Factors that greatly contribute to this watch's durability include the screw-down locking crown, which offers superior protection compared to more vulnerable push-in crowns, and the sapphire crystal, which is both shatter and scratch resistant.

The back of the case bears various contract markings, and the watch is supplied with both a black and a grey 20mm NATO webbing strap.
