MWC PRODUCT CODE: G10SL/100PVD
Remember - If you see a MWC watch you want which we do not have it listed please contact us and we will be able to supply it to you
This
self-luminous G10 model is a remake of a popular model we made in the past. It
has a heavy-duty stainless-steel case with 100m (330ft) Water Resistance,
screw-down crown, screw case back and up to 10-year battery life.
This
model combines the best of new and traditional technology. It keeps all the
popular features from the conventional G10 Luminova models and employs the same
solid steel case whilst having the benefit of the cutting edge self-luminous
GTLS tritium vials. The actual specification of this watch was dictated by
American Military Specification Number: US MIL-W-46374F.
The
self-luminous system makes the watch very easy to read at night and the MKV has
a very distinctive face layout. The hour and minute hands each have a brightly
glowing vial of Tritium gas with 2 lights at 12 which is a feature unique to
MWC. Whilst the vials contain radioactive gas even when they are all taken together,
they contain less than the personal limit of 25 millicuries. (See U.S Nuclear
Regulatory Commission regulations 10 CFR 30.15).
The
special covert matt black non-reflective PVD finish used for this watch is
often specified in military contracts for many special forces units as
well as by anti-terrorist units and for various covert operations. In the
PVD process, the steel is not black all the way through because the colour
is created by a special chemical PVD plating process which is vastly
superior to the painted finish used on some lower quality watches which
can easily fade or rub off. This PVD process means that the colour of the
steel is altered at a molecular level, therefore it will not deteriorate
even during heavy usage although it can be damaged by a piece of
metal being gouged out or if the case is worn down by heavy abrasion
against rocks or something similar although many customers have watches which
we made in the 1990s and the PVD finish is still in excellent condition.
Military
watches of this type are the easiest in the world to read in low light or total
darkness thanks to the self-activated light source which are up to 100
times brighter than traditional light sources such as luminous paint. The
light-emitting tubes require no battery power or any other form of charging,
and never need servicing or maintenance. The life expectancy of the light
sources is at least 10 years after which they would start to fade.
The
standard MWC G10 is one of the most tried and tested models and in its earlier
variants has been in service for well over 30 years, this model shares a
similar casing to the Luminova models hence it will be just as durable as the
non-tritium versions which we manufacture.
The
G10 SL MKV is supplied with a heavyweight NATO webbing strap. The reverse of
the case carries various contract markings.
