Product Description
This recreation of a "Dirty Dozen: type watch is based on the original 1940s/1950s watches but has the advantage that it is equipped with a high-performance quartz movement. MWC classic range watches essentially combine the best of both new and traditional watchmaking technology. This watch offers the ideal choice for buyers who would prefer the appearance of a mechanical watch with the hassle-free advantages of a quartz model.
This watch has a heavy stainless steel satin finish case made from Military Grade 316L stainless steel, subsidiary dial, hacking function, black dial, and luminous markings. The watch also has a historically accurate canvas strap as used in the 1940s and 50s.
The final image shows the original 12 watches which were made by 12 companies, Buren, Cyma, Eterna, Grana, Jaeger Le-Coultre, Lemania, Longines, IWC, Omega, Record, Timor, and Vertex, MWC were not a manufacturer at this time having been founded in 1974 but this watch is very much in the spirit of the originals**
