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.

    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.
