MWC 24 Jewel 1982 Pattern Automatic Military Divers Watch with Sapphire Crystal

Product Code: DIV/82PVD/AU/D These diver’s watches are a remake of one of MWC’s 1980’s models in a black PVD Steel case, one of the variants of these watches was remade specifically for a U.S contractor who had secured a large sale to one of their clients, the watch has a robust black PVD stainless steel case and is equipped with a high performance automatic 24 jewel self-winding movement. MWC have made a number of upgrades to the original watch such as the shatter and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and increased water resistance rating. 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 destroyed if the case is badly damaged by a piece of metal being gouged out or if the case is worn down by continuous heavy abrasion against rocks etc. This watch is based on a 1980 UK MOD specification for automatic divers watches (DEF STAN 66-4 [Part 1] Issue 3), this specified a unidirectional bezel and a boldly marked dial with tritium paint and a mineral glass crystal. The MOD document from 1980 can be seen in the final 2 images. This watch is made in the spirit of the 1980 watches but with certain design aspects taken from its predecessors. This watch also has improvements over the 1980 specification such as the sapphire crystal referred to below. These models represent excellent value and are very competitively priced for such a high-performance automatic watch of this type. This watch measures 45mm including the crown and 40mm excluding the crown and uses Luminova for first-rate nighttime visibility, the strap is a standard 20mm NATO strap as used on a wide variety of military divers models so there are a substantial range of colours options available if you like to occasionally change the strap which you are using.

The answer is that synthetic sapphire is by far the best material for watch crystals because it is very strong and also shatter and scratch-resistant, these characteristics make it very appealing to military and security personnel, police officers, and people who lead active outdoor lifestyles, these groups account for over 70% of our customers. To get things into perspective we find that when clients have accidents with watches resulting in a cracked crystal over 90% usually watches with mineral glass crystals, even factoring in that we use hardened mineral crystals they still do not come close to sapphire for durability under adverse conditions. The reason that sapphire crystals are so strong is that after the sapphire glass is manufactured it is also heat-treated to remove its internal stresses—which can cause weakness—it is then made into the watch crystals and two layers of anti-reflective coating are applied, interestingly sapphire crystal is now used on the latest iPhone. Of course, sapphire crystal comes at a price hence you find that it’s normally only fitted to higher-end watches.

Although this watch is similar in appearance to some other manufacturers models it is vastly different in the actual specification details.

The G10LM range consists of an extensive range of different variants which encompasses stainless steel, black PVD steel, models with both European pattern 12 hour dials and U.S pattern 12/24 hour dials as well as variants both with and without a date window and models with a choice of different strap colours. Of course the biggest difference is the price because competing models from other manufacturers are priced at up to $250 / £170 / €239 which is well over twice the price of this watch.The back of the case bears various contract markings and the watch is supplied with a current military issue desert pattern 18mm nylon webbing strap.The second hand point design may vary depending on availability during manufactureSpecification:Case Width: 35mm excluding the crownCase Width: 39mm including the crownCase: Stainless steel with Screw down case backCrystal: 31.5mm dia.

This MWC GMT dual time zone watch on a matching bracelet in black PVD is one of MWC’s latest watches and has a high performance quartz Ronda 515.24 movement housed in a robust 300m / 1000ft water resistant steel casing which makes the watch ideally suitable for use in water for swimming, snorkelling and water sports although as a GMT watch the bezel is designed to enable time to be calculated in two time zones so for diving applications its suitability s rather limited although from a water resistance perspective the watch would be fine. The concept behind GMT watches is very clever not because they are in any way particularly complex but because the technology behind them is so incredibly simple. On a conventional watch the hour hand is designed to travel around the dial over a 12 hour period, all that is needed to create a GMT watch is to add a second hour hand which travels around the dial in 24 hours instead of the usual 12, then an additional 24-hour time scale is added to a bezel hence the reason some GMT watches at quick glance look similar to divers watches. Using the watch could not be easier because the 24-hour hand circles the dial once a day instead of twice with a normal hour hand, its tip indicates the corresponding hour and because it’s operating on the 24 hour timescale there can be no confusion between a.m. and p.m. MWC initially produced these watches for long haul airline pilots and also military pilots flying transport planes such as the Lockheed C-130 Hercules and Airbus A400M because the watch enables them to see the time in both the departure and destination time zones. The watch measures 45mm including the crown and 40mm excluding the crown and has a matching stainless steel bracelet.The contract markings, dates and serial numbers on the case back will vary from the library photograph Dimensions and Specification 300m / 1000ft Water Resistant Movement: Ronda 515.24 Luminosity: Super Luminova Stainless Steel case Screw down crown Width Inc.
