SKU Code: G10SL200PVD

This self-luminous G10 model is a modern remake of a popular design from our past. It features a heavy-duty stainless steel case with 200m (660ft) water resistance, a screw-down crown, a screw caseback, a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and a 10-year battery life.

Key Features:

Superior Night Visibility: The self-luminous system ensures exceptional readability at night. The G10SL200PVD model features a distinctive face layout, with the hour and minute hands each containing a brightly glowing vial of tritium gas. The 12 o'clock position features two lights, a unique aspect of MWC watches. The vials contain less than the personal limit of 25 millicuries of radioactive gas, complying with U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations (10 CFR 30.15).

Tritium GTLS Tubes: Military watches of this type are among the easiest to read in low light or total darkness. The self-activated light source is up to 100 times brighter than traditional luminous paint. These light-emitting tubes require no battery power, charging, or maintenance and have a life expectancy of at least 10 years.

Special Covert Matte Black PVD Finish: This finish is often specified in military contracts for special forces units, anti-terrorist units, and various covert operations. The PVD process alters the color of the steel at a molecular level, making it vastly superior to painted finishes that can fade or rub off. This ensures the color does not deteriorate even during heavy usage, although it can be damaged by severe abrasion or gouging. Many customers still have watches from the 1990s with the PVD finish in excellent condition.

Durability: The standard MWC G10 is one of our most tried and tested models, with earlier variants in service for over 40 years. This model shares a similar casing to the Luminova models, ensuring durability comparable to our non-tritium versions.

Heavyweight NATO Webbing Strap: The G10SL200PVD is supplied with a robust NATO webbing strap. The reverse of the case features various contract markings.

Why Choose Sapphire Crystal?

Many customers 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 desirable for military and security personnel, police officers, and outdoor enthusiasts, who make up over 70% of our customers. Watches with mineral glass crystals are more prone to damage, even when using hardened mineral crystals. The strength of sapphire crystals comes from a heat treatment process that removes internal stresses, followed by the application of two layers of anti-reflective coating. This durability is why sapphire crystal is also used in the latest iPhones. Although sapphire crystal comes at a higher price, it is typically only fitted to higher-end watches.
