MWC Tactical Series Watch

The MWC Tactical Series watches are built with robust, military-grade stainless steel cases and feature a 300m water resistance rating. Specifically designed for law enforcement, marine, surface, and airborne applications, these watches exceed U.S. W-46374F Type 6 specifications. They are regularly ordered in bulk by several contractors and are valued for their durability and performance.

Design and Upgrades:

Origins: Aesthetically inspired by mid-1990s designs, but with significant modern upgrades.

• Shatter-resistant sapphire crystal
  
• Significantly enhanced water resistance, upgraded from 30m (99ft) on the 1990s models to 300m (1000ft) on the current models
  
• Resistance to magnetic fields: 18.8 Oe
  
• Resistance against shock: NIHS 91-10
  

Additional Features:

• Screw-down locking crown and caseback
• High-visibility numerals on the bezel
• Clear, easy-to-read dial under adverse light conditions
• Designed to maintain high accuracy at altitudes up to 12,000m / 40,000ft without compensatory pressurization
• Swiss Tritium GTLS (Gaseous Tritium Light Sources) for significantly brighter illumination than conventional luminous paint

Covert PVD Finish:

Special Coating: The watch features a covert matte black non-reflective PVD finish (Physical Vapor Deposition), specified for special forces, anti-terrorist units, and police forces for covert operations.

Durability: The PVD process chemically bonds the color to the metal at a molecular level, ensuring long-lasting durability that vastly outperforms painted finishes. While extreme abrasion can damage the finish, it generally remains intact for many years, even under harsh conditions.

Key Features:

• Movement: Ronda 517 Day/Date
• Battery Life: Up to 45 months
• Water Resistance: 30 ATM (1000 ft/300m), suitable for land-based and marine requirements, with the same water resistance rating as our diver's models.
• Altitude Accuracy: Designed to maintain high accuracy at altitudes up to 12,000m / 40,000ft without compensatory pressurization.
• Hacking: The movement includes hacking for precise time-setting.
• Tritium Symbol: The dial features a radioactive tritium symbol, compliant with U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations (10 CFR 30.15).

Benefits of Sapphire Crystal:

Synthetic sapphire is the best material for watch crystals due to its strength and resistance to shattering and scratching. These characteristics make it particularly appealing to military and security personnel, police officers, and those who lead active outdoor lifestyles, who account for over 70% of our customers. The original plexiglass crystals used in the 1960s were easily scratched and prone to cracking, limiting water resistance. When clients have accidents resulting in a cracked crystal, over 90% involve watches with mineral glass crystals or plexiglass. Even hardened mineral crystals do not come close to sapphire for durability under adverse conditions. Sapphire crystals are heat-treated to remove internal stresses, enhancing their strength. They are then made into watch crystals with two layers of anti-reflective coating. Sapphire crystal's robustness and durability make it a preferred choice for high-end watches and is now used in the latest iPhone models.
