Product Details
SKU Code: G10/SS/300/ND
The MWC 300m / 1000ft water-resistant G10 models in stainless steel boast the highest water resistance rating of any G10 / General Service watch globally. Featuring a highly scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and an impressive 10-year battery life, this G10/98 Specification watch is a modern update of our original G10 designs from the 1980s. No other General Service watch currently in production can match its specifications.
MWC is the sole contractor producing NATO specification infantry watches with a water resistance rating of 300m / 1000ft, compared to the standard 30m or 50m ratings of other manufacturers. The screw-down crown and screw caseback significantly enhance water resistance, while the Ronda 715li movement with a 10-year battery life reduces maintenance requirements. The watch features a sandblasted non-reflective case, a manufacturing process historically used on military watches and offering superior non-reflective properties compared to standard brushed or satin stainless steel finishes.
When we secured the contract to produce this model, the specifications required a covert design with a screw caseback, 300m water resistance, sapphire crystal, and screw-down crown. The result is a uniquely specified, low-maintenance, and highly durable watch.
The watch comes with both a current-issue grey NATO webbing strap and a black NATO strap, with additional strap colors available for purchase.
The back of the case bears various contract markings in addition to the unique serial number.

Benefits of Sapphire Crystal:
Many customers ask about the advantages 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 qualities make it ideal for military and security personnel, police officers, and those with active outdoor lifestyles—over 70% of our customers. Over 90% of accidents involving cracked crystals occur with watches using mineral glass crystals, even hardened ones. Sapphire crystal is heat-treated to remove internal stresses, making it exceptionally durable. It also features two layers of anti-reflective coating. While sapphire crystal comes at a higher cost, it is typically found in higher-end watches and even in the latest iPhone models.
