W10/445-MQZ – Classic 1940s/1950s Military-Style Watch

This MWC model is inspired by classic British military watches from the 1940s and 1950s. With its clean dial, subsidiary seconds display, and balanced proportions, it reflects the distinctive character of early field watches while incorporating modern materials for reliable everyday use.


Vintage Character with Modern Practicality

The design remains faithful to historical models, featuring a domed acrylic (plexiglass) crystal and traditional military styling. At the same time, modern construction ensures durability and ease of use in daily wear.


Hybrid Movement – Smooth Sweep with Quartz Accuracy

This watch is powered by a modern hybrid quartz movement.

The movement is battery-powered and quartz-regulated but drives the hands in a smooth sweeping motion, offering a more traditional mechanical feel without the need for manual winding.

In simple terms, it combines:

  • The visual appeal of a mechanical watch
  • The accuracy and convenience of quartz

Durable Stainless Steel Case

The case is manufactured from 316L stainless steel with a satin finish, providing durability while maintaining a clean, understated appearance consistent with military-style watches.


Clear, Functional Dial

The black dial is designed for excellent legibility, with luminous hands and markers and a subsidiary seconds dial for precise timekeeping.


Period-Style Strap

The watch is fitted with an 18 mm canvas strap, inspired by those used on mid-20th century military watches, completing the authentic overall look.

Historical Reference

This model draws design inspiration from British military watches of the WWII and immediate post-war period, often associated with the “Dirty Dozen” specification watches produced by various manufacturers.

MWC, established in 1974, is not connected to those original manufacturers. This watch is a modern interpretation designed to capture the style and functionality of those classic timepieces.

This is not a safe indestructible toy
DO NOT BUY! My 22 lb doodle destroyed this within the hour. He had all the nubs of two of the rings completely chewed off and was chewing them like gum. He is only 9 months old.

Super cute! Really quiet chewer.
Super cute and durable for our boxer puppy, it is for sure puppy sized. Super light so he can still toss it around and I like that it doesn’t have any plastic smell to it.

Ok for an aggressive chewer but not the best
Color: Pink
O Jane an aggressive chewer. This has held up ok. But she still occasionally gets pieces chewed off.
