MWC G10 - Remake of the 1982 to 1999 Series Watch in Black PVD Steel with Plexilass Crystal and Battery Hatch

Product Details

SKU Code: G10PL/PV

This MWC model is an exact remake of the G10 PVD Stealth with a 12-hour NATO pattern dial, originally produced between 1982 and 1999. While it closely resembles our current models, it features a more compact case, making it visually indistinguishable from the originals, as seen in the final image. However, significant improvements have been made, including a 60-month battery life compared to the original's 18-month lifespan in the 1980s.

Key Features:

• Improved Battery Life: Now features a 60-month battery life, a significant upgrade from the original 18-month lifespan.
• Enhanced Nighttime Visibility: Utilizes Super Luminova for improved nighttime visibility while retaining the historical encircled T on the dial. Super Luminova operates like a light battery, glowing in the dark after sufficient activation by sunlight or artificial light. Larger markings are often visible throughout the night and can be easily recharged by exposing the watch to bright light for a few minutes.
• Durable and Reliable: Extensively evaluated by military personnel in various locations, proving long-term reliability and durability.

Historical Accuracy with Modern Improvements:

While this model remains visually identical to the original watches made in the 1980s and 1990s, it incorporates several detailed improvements, making it superior to its predecessors. Super Luminova pigments, which are 100% free of radioactivity, replace the original tritium paint, addressing aging issues associated with old radioactive pigments.

PVD Finish:

The special covert matte black non-reflective PVD finish used for this watch is often specified in military contracts for special forces units and anti-terrorist units, as well as for various covert operations. The PVD process chemically alters the color of the steel at a molecular level, providing a finish vastly superior to painted finishes, which can fade or rub off. This ensures the finish will not deteriorate even during heavy usage, though it can be damaged by severe abrasion or gouging.

    *Some countries are notoriously slow to process goods on arrival, including Israel, Hong Kong, Macau, Mexico, South Africa, and some South American countries. Significant delays can also occur in other countries in Africa. For time-sensitive deliveries, we recommend using UPS, DHL, or FedEx.

    All shipping estimates exclude Saturdays and Sundays.

    While we strive to deliver within the above timeframes, they are guides, and delivery cannot be guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by couriers or any national postal service. If your goods are not delivered within the estimated time, please contact us at admin@mwc.watch, and we will do our best to resolve the issue promptly. We are not liable for any loss caused by late delivery.

    Our delivery charges cover the cost of shipping to you but do not include import charges and administration fees to clear the goods when entering your country if applicable.

    It is the purchaser's responsibility to understand that charges may be levied and to pay all subsequent import taxes and duties on goods shipped to their country. If items are returned to MWC due to rejected payment, subsequent charges incurred (such as import duty and processing costs) will be deducted from any refund issued. For more information, please contact accounts@mwc-distribution.com

    If you need to clarify any details regarding local taxes for your location, please contact us before placing an order. For clarification, goods shipped to the EU can be dispatched from our EU location if ordered at https://mwc.eu/, and we also have a dedicated UK shipping center at https://mwcwatches.co.uk/. In the United States, orders under $800 do not incur taxes or fees. In Australia, orders up to AU$1000 are tax-free.

    We do not accept liability for goods lost after delivery to a PO Box. We reserve the right to cancel orders where the delivery address is a PO Box. Similarly, we do not accept liability for goods lost after confirmed delivery to APO or BFPO locations.

    Customer Notification: It is the customer's responsibility to notify us if goods are not received within 21 days of the estimated delivery date. If no notification is made within this period, the buyer is deemed to have received the goods.

    Safe Place Deliveries

    Some delivery companies allow for delivery without a signature, leaving the item in a "safe place" (e.g., shed, garage, porch). If you choose this option, it is at your own risk. We initially send items by a secure service requiring a signature or proof of delivery. Using a "safe place" increases the risk of theft. We advise ensuring deliveries require a signature to ensure safe receipt.

    Failed Deliveries

    If an item is refused and returned to us, we will refund the order less the outbound and inbound shipping charges once the item is received back at our packing and shipping center. For business locations, please notify the receiving personnel of the expected delivery to avoid refusals. Usually, we will be notified of delivery issues and will email you for instructions. It is important to act quickly to avoid return and associated costs.
