MWC 1940s/50s British Military Pattern Automatic Watch – Sapphire Box Crystal – 21 Jewel Movement
This automatic self-winding MWC military watch is based on classic British Forces designs from the 1940s and 1950s. Featuring a small subsidiary seconds dial, it captures the vintage military aesthetic while incorporating modern upgrades for durability and convenience.
🔹 Sapphire Box Crystal
The raised, domed sapphire crystal replicates the look of 1950s acrylic while offering exceptional scratch resistance—second only to diamond. This ensures long-term clarity and resilience.
🔹 Automatic Movement
The original hand-wound movement has been replaced with a robust 21-jewel self-winding automatic. It also supports manual winding, giving you the best of both worlds.
🔹 Military Grade Construction
Crafted from heavy-duty 316L stainless steel with a satin finish, this watch is built to endure. The solid fixed strap bars and water resistance up to 5 ATM (50 m) enhance its rugged reliability.
🔹 Historical Accuracy with Modern Performance
Supplied on a 1950s-style canvas strap, this watch blends heritage styling with modern specs for everyday practicality.
