SKU: W10/2HW26

Reissue of the Classic 1960s–70s British Army Timepiece

The W10 is one of the most recognisable British military watches ever issued. Originally produced between 1967 and 1980 for the British Army, Royal Air Force, and Royal Navy, it was built to meet the Ministry of Defence’s DEF-STAN 66-4 (Part 4) specification. The W10’s design was defined by clarity, reliability, and robustness — qualities that made it a trusted companion for generations of servicemen.

This modern MWC W10 faithfully recreates that heritage with a hand-wound mechanical movement, brushed stainless-steel case, and the same understated dial layout that made the original so distinctive. Every detail — from the fixed strap bars to the matt black dial with luminous hands — remains true to the original MoD specification, while benefiting from modern production standards and improved water resistance.

Perfect for collectors and enthusiasts of British military history, or anyone seeking a timeless, no-nonsense mechanical field watch for everyday wear.
