Montre automatique de service général à motif britannique MWC 1940/1950 « Dirty Dozen » acheter

SKU Code: DD/01/AU

This automatic self-winding MWC military watch is a classic recreation of the 1940s/1950s models used by British forces. It features a small subsidiary dial second hand and retains the acrylic crystal found on the original watches. The hand-wound mechanical movement has been upgraded to a self-winding automatic movement, which can also be manually wound when necessary. This watch preserves the original vintage appearance while incorporating subtle modern improvements for better daily usability.

The watch boasts a heavy stainless steel satin finish case made from Military Grade 316L stainless steel, with a subsidiary second-hand dial, a hacking function, a black dial, and luminous markings. It comes with a historically accurate canvas strap that replicates those used in the 1940s and 1950s.

Historical Context:

While MWC was founded in 1974 and not part of the original manufacturers, this watch is crafted in the spirit of those iconic timepieces.*
