MWC G10 50m (165ft) Water Resistant NATO Pattern Military Watch with Satin Case Finish, Fixed Strap Bars and 60 Month Battery Life

Product Details

SKU Code: G10/PB/SAT

This MWC model is a direct descendant of the G10 watches we made in the 1980s, retaining the popular battery hatch—a feature discarded by most other manufacturers. Initially, the battery hatch was essential because early quartz watch batteries lasted only about a year. Now, with modern batteries lasting around five years, the hatch serves as a nostalgic design detail.

Key Features:

• Heritage Design: Directly descended from our original G10 watches from the 1980s, retaining the historically popular battery hatch for authenticity.
• Long-Term Reliability: This variant of MWC's G10 has been extensively evaluated by military personnel worldwide for over 40 years, earning high praise for its durability and long-term reliability. The screw-down locking crown provides superior protection compared to more vulnerable push-in crowns.
• Enhanced Nighttime Visibility: Utilizes Luminova for improved nighttime visibility. After sufficient activation by sunlight or artificial light, the dial glows in the dark. Larger markings often remain visible throughout the night. This process can be repeated indefinitely without aging, and Luminova pigments are completely free of radioactivity.
• Rugged and Durable: Designed to withstand extreme conditions, this watch is supplied with both a current issue grey NATO webbing strap and a black strap. A wide range of additional strap colors is also available for purchase.

    *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.

    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.
