MWC first manufactured the predecessor to this 300m/1000ft water-resistant diver's watch between the early 1990s and 2004. This model is closely based on a watch introduced by MWC in 2005, which was their first diver's watch to use tritium gas tubes. The self-luminous GTLS tubes make the watch very easy to read at night, with light sources remaining consistently bright from dusk until dawn. The hour and minute hands, as well as the hour markers, each have a brightly glowing vial of tritium gas. While the vials contain radioactive gas, their total combined amount is less than the personal limit of 25 millicuries, in accordance with U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations 10 CFR 30.15.

Superior Night Readability

Military watches of this type are the easiest in the world to read in low light or total darkness thanks to the self-activated light source, which is up to 100 times brighter than traditional luminous paint. The light-emitting tubes require no battery power or any other form of charging and never need servicing or maintenance. The life expectancy of the light sources is at least 10 years, after which they can start to fade.  

Rediscovery and Remake

Although the predecessor to this watch was discontinued by MWC in 2007, an interesting turn of events occurred when an MWC distributor in Australia discovered 500 brand-new quartz versions of this range in their storeroom. Made between 1999 and 2001, these watches were part of a procurement contract. When the distributor's son conducted a detailed stock check, these watches came to light. We were offered the opportunity to buy them back, and their popularity prompted us to remake the watches in the same design with significant upgrades.

Upgrades and Improvements

Advances in watch manufacturing over the years allowed us to enhance the overall specifications:

  • Movement: Automatic Miyota 8315 movement with a 60-hour power reserve, which can also be hand-wound and has hacking for synchronization.
  • Crystal: Upgraded from hardened mineral glass to sapphire, which is highly scratch and shatter-resistant.
  • Bezel: Upgraded to a 120-click bezel versus the earlier 60 or 90-click versions.
  • Tritium Tubes: Improved performance of Swiss Tritium GTLS tubes.

Historical Case Design

These watches are based on a case design originally made by the renowned Swiss case-making firm MRP S.A. Founded in 1953, MRP is now independently owned by Patrick Hauert. The case design has remained largely unchanged since the late 1970s. More information can be found on their website: MRP S.A..

Notable Users and Legacy

This case pattern has been used by various companies, including Precista, Nilax, Elvia, and Heuer (predecessors to Tag Heuer). Notable models include the Heuer 844-1 (1979) and the Chronosport Sea Quartz 30, worn by Tom Selleck in Magnum PI. Elvia continues to produce watches using this case, and MWC is a factory-authorized distributor for this brand. CWC and other companies also continue to use this case design, which has been in continuous production for over 40 years.

Benefits of Sapphire Crystal

Synthetic sapphire is the best material for watch crystals due to its strength and shatter and scratch resistance. These characteristics make it appealing to military and security personnel, police officers, and active outdoor enthusiasts, who account for over 70% of our customers. When clients have accidents resulting in a cracked crystal, over 90% involve watches with mineral glass crystals. Even hardened mineral crystals do not match sapphire's durability under adverse conditions. Sapphire crystals are heat-treated to remove internal stresses, enhancing their strength, and are made into watch crystals with two layers of anti-reflective coating. While more expensive, sapphire crystal is typically fitted to higher-end watches and is now used in the latest iPhone models.

    I believe that coffee/espresso is a lifelong journey around the world in search of that perfect bean. This coffee is one of few we enjoy. Consistent flavor, true Aroma Therapy whether I grind for Drip, Perculator or Espresso, the flavor profile remains the same. Bravo! 🇺🇸

    My Go-To Everyday Joe
    Flavor Name: Major Dickason's Blend, Size: 18 Ounce (Pack of 1)
    Very rich coffee and not acidic!! So many of the lighter roasts I have tried have a high acidity and I admit maybe I am sensitive to it. Bit this Peet's blend is very consistent, dark roast perfection, flavorful and rich. I am very impressed! Great beans! Cheaper than buying direct from Peet's too.

    Excellent Coffee - A World Class French Press
    The unit is elegantly styled and durable. The double wall is noticeable and keeps the coffee hot for multiple cups. I love the fact that every component is stainless steel - no plastics in the product at all. The unit is easy to clean and dishwasher safe. I would gift this to my coffee connoisseur friends!

    So many things to LOVE - you should buy it.
    So glad I bought this french press!! I am honestly surprised it wasn't more expensive for this quality. My beverage stays very hot while brewing (that was a problem with my old glass one). I typically transfer to a travel mug so not sure how long it would stay hot but my guess is a long time. The double wall all stainless steel retains heat, is very well made and sturdy. I don't have to worry about glass cracking when I add boiling water (my old one cracked) . I also have no fear of dropping it because it is so solid but I don't think I will drop it because the handle is so easy to hold and sturdy. It pours well, no dribbling and I love the coffee bean picture on the lid that shows you how to turn the lid to pour it. My FAVORITE feature is the measurement markings inside. Why don't all French presses have this!!! There is a bit of resistance and a little metal on metal noise when you depress the filter which might bother some people. It is metal on metal and it is a snug fit so you have to push slowly...like 5 seconds instead of 2-3 but it means zero grounds in your cup. It keeps me in the moment and is still easy to use. Also cleans up easily and looks very nice. I would recommend to everyone. I LOVE it. UPDATE: I have been using basically daily for 2 months and still LOVE it. Works and acts like new. The metal on metal noise disappeared after 2-4 weeks. I am not really sure when. one day I just suddenly realized it wasn't making that noise anymore. I would 100% buy it again if I needed another one.
