MWC

300m Stainless Steel Military

Hybrid Submariners/Divers watch

This is the latest MWC military divers watch in their range with 300m (1000ft) water resistance  rating, screw down crown, screw case back, Super Luminova and unlimited battery life due to the sophisticated hybrid kinetic rechargeable movement which combines all the characteristics of an automatic watch with the benefits of a highly accurate quartz movement.

The MWC Hybrid range use a special rechargeable Lithium–Titanate power cell, this sophisticated hybrid movement combines the characteristics of an automatic watch because it is charged by wrist movement with quartz accuracy. The Lithium–Titanate rechargeable cell is vastly superior to a normal watch battery where new batteries are often needed at regular intervals. When fully charged the watch has a 6 month power reserve so even if you only wear it for a few weeks a year it will then keep running for 6 months as opposed to around 36 hours with a standard mechanical automatic watch. You will also have plenty of warning when the power reserve is low because the second hand will start moving at two-second intervals instead of the normal one-second intervals, the watch will run down in approximately 12 hours once this happens unless it is worn (or put on a watch winder) to get the Lithium–Titanate cell charged up again. The watch also has a hacking feature for synchronization or to enable you to stop the watch running and conserve power if it won't be used for an extended period.

With such a sophisticated movement the MWC Hybrid divers watch is currently among the highest specification divers watch of its type available from any manufacturer. Essentially this model combines the best of new and traditional watch making technology. It combines features from the conventional automatic and quartz models with a hybrid ultra low maintenance movement.

MWC designed these watches specifically for a government contract when it was pointed out they would not be used continuously and for this reason the ability to be kept in storage and issued when required whilst still remain accurate and ready for use when needed was a vital consideration. Clearly this makes sense because if the watches are not being used all the time the last thing a government department or military unit would want is to remove them from the stores only to find that the batteries are flat! These watches solve that problem 100% because there are no batteries to worry about and there are therefore no circumstances where they could not be utilized at very short notice.

The standard MWC divers watch is one of our most tried and tested models and in its earlier quartz variants has been in service for several decades but this model offers an alternative to buyers who want something with cutting edge technology and very low maintenance.

The watch is supplied with two N.A.T.O webbing straps one in black and one in grey. The reverse of the case carries various contract markings.
