Product Details

SKU Code: CLIX/SS/ST/ND

This MWC Ltd Edition Classic Aviator Watch is one of our premium Pilot watch models.

The MWC Classic Aviator range is inspired by military designs from the 1940s and 50s. Some models feature a traditional second hand within a subsidiary dial above 6 o'clock, a common feature in the 1940s. This model, however, includes a sweep second hand, a design that began replacing subsidiary dials on many watches from around 1943 onward. These varying designs allow you to choose a model that suits your personal style preferences.

Key Features:

• Imposing Presence: The extra-large case diameter of 46mm (excluding the crown) makes this a striking timepiece that commands attention and garners favorable comments, especially from other watch enthusiasts.
• Enhanced Readability: The large dial, combined with Luminova paint, ensures the watch is extremely easy to read, day or night, similar to the original World War II aviator watches.
• Reliable Movement: This model is powered by a traditional automatic 24-jewel NH35A mechanical movement with a 41-hour power reserve when fully wound. The movement is visible through the clear caseback, showcasing the intricate mechanics.

Why Choose Sapphire Crystal?

Many people ask about the benefits of sapphire crystal over standard mineral crystal. Synthetic sapphire is the best material for watch crystals because it is extremely strong, shatter-resistant, and scratch-resistant. These characteristics make it very appealing to military and security personnel, police officers, and people who lead active outdoor lifestyles, which account for over 70% of our customers.

To put things into perspective, when clients experience accidents resulting in a cracked crystal, over 90% of the time it involves watches with mineral glass crystals. Even hardened mineral crystals do not match sapphire in terms of durability under adverse conditions. Sapphire crystals are so strong because, after manufacture, they are heat-treated to remove internal stresses, which can cause weakness. They are then made into watch crystals, with two layers of anti-reflective coating applied. Interestingly, sapphire crystal is now used on the latest iPhone. While sapphire crystal comes at a higher price, it is typically only fitted to higher-end watches, and its durability and resilience make it a worthwhile investment.

Choose the MWC Ltd Edition Classic Aviator Watch for a blend of historical design and modern functionality, making it a perfect addition to any watch collection.

    Failed delivery of an item ordered due to non-acceptance of the delivery

    Please note that if you order an item and the delivery company inform us that the item was refused it would be returned back to us, in many cases especially with FedEx, UPS etc they will also charge a return fee to send it back. Because in these circumstances we have done everything that is required to get the item to you we would refund less both the outbound and Inbound shipping charges once the item was received back at our packing and shipping centre. Unfortunately sometimes if you are having the order delivered to a business location the people receiving inbound parcels are prone to refuse an item without checking with the individual concerned we would strongly recommend being very cautious in this situation and notifying the people who handle the incoming parcels that you are expecting a delivery to avoid this problem occurring. Usually, we would be notified there is a delivery issue and would email you for your instructions, normally these sorts of problems can be avoided if you contact the carrier and tell them there is an error but it's very important to act quickly to avoid the return and associated costs.
