SKU Code: MKII/AU/RET/D

The MWC Mk III Automatic is delivered with both a black and a grey NATO strap and is a recreation of the classic 1950s NATO specification watches, originally made under the UK Ministry of Defence reference 6B/346 Mk XI. While it maintains the vintage style of the 1950s, it offers greatly improved accuracy with a modern 24-jewel automatic movement featuring a 40-hour power reserve and hacking function.

Due to budget constraints, modern military forces can no longer afford watches of this quality, opting for cheaper models that meet their needs. Historically, forces worldwide purchased watches from brands like Rolex, IWC, Omega, and Longines. Those days are gone, but many still desire a military-pattern watch with higher specifications. The MKIII fulfills this need, sparing no expense to create a superior quality product, from the high-performance movement to the brushed stainless steel 1950s/60s design case, manufactured and hand-finished in Zurich. The model also features an upgraded scratch and shatter-resistant sapphire crystal with a non-reflective coating.

The watch boasts a screw caseback and screw-down crown, making it highly accurate, robust, and water-resistant up to 100m (330ft).

Benefits of Sapphire Crystal:

Many people ask about the benefits of sapphire crystal over standard mineral crystal. Synthetic sapphire is the best material for watch crystals due to its strength and resistance to shattering and scratching. These characteristics make it highly appealing to military and security personnel, police officers, and people who lead active outdoor lifestyles, who comprise over 70% of our customers.
