EXEXSEC ARE OFFICIAL MWC RESELLERS

SKU Code: T/G10/HY/L

This is the latest MWC G10 model from MWC's Combat Elite series in a heavy duty titanium case with 100m (330ft) Water Resistance rating, screw down crown, screw caseback, Super Luminova and a sophisticated hybrid movement which combines the characteristics of an automatic watch with a super accurate quartz movement. 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 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. 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 these watches can be stopped using the hacking feature and will then start to charge again once they are worn.

With such a sophisticated movement the MWC G10 SL Hybrid is currently by far the highest specification G10 military watch available from any manufacturer and is among the most sophisticated models made by MWC the other being the solar powered titanium model which we manufacture model: T/G10/SOL/L.

Essentially this model combines the best of new and traditional watchmaking technology. It retains all the popular features from the conventional steel G10 models but has a titanium case and hybrid ultra low maintenance movement. We 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 G10 is one of the most tried and tested models and in its earlier variants has been in service for almost 30 years, this model shares a similar design to the steel models but the titanium case means this watch is the most high quality G10 model available anywhere in the world.

The G10 Combat Elite range are supplied with a heavyweight NATO webbing strap. The reverse of the case carries various contract markings.

Please Note: Hybrid and Kinetic Watches cannot be wound when not in use in the same way as automatic watches using a conventional watchwinder. This is because the movement of the winder is too gentle to generate the power needed. The solution is to buy a SEIKO YT02A KINETIC WATCH ENERGY SUPPLIER but they are quite costly at around $300 the cheap solution bizarrely is a Braun or Oral B toothbrush. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6NijuqOD_k and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNYTTqftcvk our watchmaker confirms this is a very workable cost effective solution if the watch is not used regularly. Strange we know but with a Braun or Oral B toothbrush from around $25 / £20 / €22 it is a simple solution.

Important Notice: Beware of sellers claiming their watches are the only military watches meeting current standards and suggesting that they are both the exclusive NATO contractors and the sole legitimate source of watches built to current military specifications. These brands sometimes criticise sellers of their own surplus bought through legitimate MOD clearance auctions etc. They will alsp make confusing references concerning the surplus market of military watches and suggest that only MOD surplus items are genuine watches when in actual fact military watches are used by forces worldwide from a wide range of manufacturers. Many of these other watches use perspex crystals which are easily scratched and the manufacturers sometimes claim this is a UK MOD requirement which is not the case. A bit of research confirms that the UK have used G10 specification watches with glass crystals as have other countries. The retention of perspex crystals makes little sense when the shortcomings such as reduced water resistance are taken into consideration.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

Water Resistance

This information is to ensure you select a watch that is ideal for your needs. The usage recommendations are suggested by most watch manufacturers and there is also some very detailed information here which sets out the technical standards in detail.

Water-resistant to 30 meters (100 feet/3atm). Will withstand splashes of water but should not be worn while swimming or diving.
Water-tested to 50 meters (165 feet/5atm). Suitable for showering or swimming in shallow water.
Water-tested to 100 meters (330 feet/10atm). Suitable for swimming and snorkeling.
Water-tested to 150 meters (500 feet/15atm). Suitable for snorkeling.
Mil-Spec 300 meters (1000 feet/30atm). In military applications 300m is currently standard for divers watches.

Keep in mind watches should never be used in the bath or shower because the combination of heat, soap / shower gel etc will cause damage to the seals and potential water ingression.
