G10 12/24 PVD Hour Markers

The design of the MWC PVD plated G10 infantry watch with 12/24 hour markings is unique, as it still retains the battery hatch on the case-back and is still the only contracted standard European Infantry specification watch produced in a non reflective PVD plated black finish.

The special matt black finish is required by many special forces units. The steel is not black all the way through because the black finish is created by a special chemical PVD plating process which is vastly superior to the pained finish used on some watches which can quickly 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 really heavy abrasion against rocks or something similar.

If you are looking for a solid black stainless steel military watch that is both discreet and water resistant to 50m then this Special Forces model is ideal

Supplied with a current issue black NATO webbing strap. The back of the case bears the original contract markings and a unique serial number
