Product Details

SKU Code: G10SL200PVD

This self-luminous G10 model is a significantly upgraded remake of a popular design from our past. It features a robust stainless steel case with 200m (660ft) water resistance, a screw-down crown, a screw caseback, a sapphire crystal, and a 10-year battery life.

The special covert matte black non-reflective PVD finish is often specified in military contracts for special forces units, anti-terrorist units, and various covert operations. The PVD process alters the color of the steel at a molecular level, making it vastly superior to painted finishes that can fade or rub off. This ensures the color does not deteriorate even during heavy usage, although it can be damaged by severe abrasion or gouging. Many customers still have watches from the 1990s with the PVD finish in excellent condition.

Combining the best of new and traditional technology, this model retains all the popular features of the conventional G10 Luminova models while incorporating cutting-edge self-luminous GTLS tritium vials. The specification of this watch adheres to American Military Specification Number: US MIL-W-46374F.

The self-luminous system ensures easy readability at night. The MKV model features a distinctive face layout, with the hour and minute hands each containing a brightly glowing vial of tritium gas. Additionally, it has two lights at the 12 o'clock position, a unique feature to MWC. While the vials contain radioactive gas, their combined amount is well below the personal limit of 25 millicuries, as per U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations (10 CFR 30.15).

Military watches of this type are among the easiest to read in low light or total darkness. The self-activated light source is up to 100 times brighter than traditional luminous paint. These light-emitting tubes require no battery power or any form of charging and never need servicing or maintenance. Their life expectancy is at least 10 years, after which they gradually fade.

The standard MWC G10 is one of our most tried and tested models, with earlier variants in service for over 40 years. This model shares a similar casing to the Luminova models, ensuring the same level of durability as our non-tritium versions.

The G10 SL MKV is supplied with a heavyweight NATO webbing strap. The reverse of the case features various contract markings.

Many customers ask about the benefits of sapphire crystal over standard mineral crystal. Synthetic sapphire is the best material for watch crystals due to its strength and resistance to shattering and scratching. These characteristics make it highly desirable for military and security personnel, police officers, and outdoor enthusiasts, who make up over 70% of our customers. Watches with mineral glass crystals are more prone to damage, even when using hardened mineral crystals. The strength of sapphire crystals comes from a heat treatment process that removes internal stresses, followed by the application of two layers of anti-reflective coating. This durability is why sapphire crystal is also used in the latest iPhones. Although sapphire crystal comes at a higher price, it is typically only fitted to higher-end watches.

    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.
