MWC 1940s/1950s "Dirty Dozen" Pattern General Service Watch with a Mechanical Quartz Hybrid Movement

SKU Code: W10/445-MQZ

Classic 1940s/1950s Military Quartz/Mechanical Hybrid Watch

This MWC military watch pays tribute to the iconic British forces designs of the 1940s and 1950s. Featuring a small subsidiary dial, it faithfully captures the style of the originals while incorporating modern enhancements for durability and reliability.

Hybrid Movement

While the original watches used hand-wound mechanical movements, this model employs a state-of-the-art mechanical/quartz hybrid movement. Powered by a battery and regulated by a quartz crystal, it drives the hands mechanically, giving the seconds hand a smooth sweeping motion just like a classic mechanical watch.

Essentially, it’s a mechanical movement without the spring, combining the timeless feel of traditional watchmaking with the precision and reliability of quartz technology. The result? The satisfying sweep of a mechanical seconds hand paired with modern accuracy and dependability.

Robust Build

Constructed from Military Grade 316L stainless steel with a satin finish, this watch balances rugged durability with a classic look.

Enhanced Legibility

The black dial features luminous markings and a subsidiary seconds dial for precise timekeeping in all conditions.

Historically Accurate Strap

Equipped with an 18 mm canvas strap styled after those used by the British military during the 1940s and 1950s.
