Classic 1940s/1950s Military Automatic Watch
This automatic self-winding MWC military watch pays tribute to the iconic British forces designs of the 1940s and 1950s. Featuring a small subsidiary seconds dial, it faithfully captures the style of the originals while integrating modern enhancements for durability and reliability.
- Vintage Look, Modern Performance: The watch retains the vintage aesthetic of the original models, including the appearance of an acrylic crystal, thanks to a modern sapphire box crystal that is virtually indistinguishable but far more scratch and shatter resistant.
- Upgraded Movement: While the original featured a hand-wound mechanical movement, this model uses a 21-jewel self-winding automatic movement that can also be manually wound if preferred.
- Robust Build: Constructed from Military Grade 316L stainless steel with a satin finish for a rugged yet classic look.
- Enhanced Legibility: Black dial with luminous markings and a subsidiary second-hand dial for precise timekeeping.
- Historically Accurate Strap: Comes with a canvas strap styled after those used by the British military during the 1940s and 50s.

Although MWC was founded in 1974 and was not a manufacturer at that time, this watch captures the true spirit and heritage of those classics.
