MWC P656 Latest Model PVD Titanium Tactical Series Watch with GTLS Tritium and Ten Year Battery Life (Date Version)

Product Details

SKU Code: TP656D/A1/LI/L22

The MWC Tactical Series watches, built with robust titanium cases and 300m water resistance, are designed for law enforcement and marine, surface, and airborne applications. These watches exceed U.S. W-46374F Type 6 specifications and are regularly ordered by a bulk contract client who places substantial annual orders for variants of this specific design. Based on mid-1990s designs, the current model incorporates significant upgrades such as a solid titanium case and bezel, shatter-resistant sapphire crystal, and enhanced water resistance increased from 30m to 300m (99ft to 1000ft). Additional features include a screw-down locking crown and caseback, high-visibility numerals on the bezel, and a clear, easy-to-read dial under adverse light conditions. The watch uses Swiss Tritium GTLS (Gaseous Tritium Light Sources), which are significantly brighter than conventional luminous watches.

The special covert matte black non-reflective PVD finish (Physical Vapor Deposition) used on this watch is often specified for special forces, anti-terrorist units, and police forces for covert operations. The PVD process chemically bonds the color to the titanium at a molecular level, ensuring long-lasting durability that vastly outperforms painted finishes. While extreme abrasion can damage the finish, it generally remains intact for many years, even under harsh conditions.

Key Features:

• Movement: High-precision Ronda Quartz Movement (Ronda calibre 715li) designed to withstand high G-forces, with a 10-year battery life and end-of-battery life indicator.
• Water Resistance: 30 ATM (1000 ft/300m), suitable for land-based and marine requirements, with the same water resistance rating as our diver's models.
• Altitude Accuracy: Designed to maintain high accuracy at altitudes up to 12,000m / 40,000ft without compensatory pressurization.
• Tritium Symbol: The dial features a radioactive tritium symbol, compliant with U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations (10 CFR 30.15).

Sapphire Crystal Benefits:

Synthetic sapphire is the best material for watch crystals due to its strength and resistance to shattering and scratching, making it ideal for military, security personnel, police officers, and active outdoor enthusiasts. These groups comprise over 70% of our customers. Over 90% of cracked crystals in client watches are mineral glass, even when hardened. Sapphire crystals are heat-treated to remove internal stresses and coated with two layers of anti-reflective material. Despite the higher cost, sapphire crystal is a standard feature in high-end watches and is now used in the latest iPhone models due to its superior durability.

    *Some countries are notoriously slow to process goods on arrival, including Israel, Hong Kong, Macau, Mexico, South Africa, and some South American countries. Significant delays can also occur in other countries in Africa. For time-sensitive deliveries, we recommend using UPS, DHL, or FedEx.

    All shipping estimates exclude Saturdays and Sundays.

    While we strive to deliver within the above timeframes, they are guides, and delivery cannot be guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by couriers or any national postal service. If your goods are not delivered within the estimated time, please contact us at admin@mwc.watch, and we will do our best to resolve the issue promptly. We are not liable for any loss caused by late delivery.

    Our delivery charges cover the cost of shipping to you but do not include import charges and administration fees to clear the goods when entering your country if applicable.

    It is the purchaser's responsibility to understand that charges may be levied and to pay all subsequent import taxes and duties on goods shipped to their country. If items are returned to MWC due to rejected payment, subsequent charges incurred (such as import duty and processing costs) will be deducted from any refund issued. For more information, please contact accounts@mwc-distribution.com

    If you need to clarify any details regarding local taxes for your location, please contact us before placing an order. For clarification, goods shipped to the EU can be dispatched from our EU location if ordered at https://mwc.eu/, and we also have a dedicated UK shipping center at https://mwcwatches.co.uk/. In the United States, orders under $800 do not incur taxes or fees. In Australia, orders up to AU$1000 are tax-free. Many other countries have similar regulations, which you can verify using this helpful link: Zonos De Minimis Values and also this link to calculate taxes for shipments to most countries worldwide https://www.simplyduty.com/import-calculator/

    We do not accept liability for goods lost after delivery to a PO Box. We reserve the right to cancel orders where the delivery address is a PO Box. Similarly, we do not accept liability for goods lost after confirmed delivery to APO or BFPO locations.

    Customer Notification: It is the customer's responsibility to notify us if goods are not received within 21 days of the estimated delivery date. If no notification is made within this period, the buyer is deemed to have received the goods.

    Safe Place Deliveries

    Some delivery companies allow for delivery without a signature, leaving the item in a "safe place" (e.g., shed, garage, porch). If you choose this option, it is at your own risk. We initially send items by a secure service requiring a signature or proof of delivery. Using a "safe place" increases the risk of theft. We advise ensuring deliveries require a signature to ensure safe receipt.

    Failed Deliveries

    If an item is refused and returned to us, we will refund the order less the outbound and inbound shipping charges once the item is received back at our packing and shipping center. For business locations, please notify the receiving personnel of the expected delivery to avoid refusals. Usually, we will be notified of delivery issues and will email you for instructions. It is important to act quickly to avoid return and associated costs.
