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Historical Reference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.

a good choice
Color: Black, Size: Pack of 1, Color: Black, Size: Pack of 1
Assembled chair only to find that the lift cylinder was faulty. Would have preferred to be able to just get a replacement cylinder but calling China didn't seem like a viable option. Guessing which one & buying it online would involve paying for a good portion of what the chair cost. Customer service could only offer a replacement or refund. We're disassembling (so much fun?!) to send it back. The chair itself was very comfortable, assembled fairly easily and instructions pretty clear. Again, if we could only have asked the seller for the replacement part......**Update**...Or if the instructions that seemed so clear were clearer!, as we started to disassemble, we decided to see what would happen if the tension knob (see photo) was loosened. IT ALLOWED THE LIFT CYLINDER TO WORK. Not at all what the instructions say. At any rate, we're keeping the chair.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely love this chair! It was super easy to assemble—I had it set up in no time with clear instructions and minimal effort. The comfort level is fantastic; the seat cushion is just right and the back support makes it great for longer sitting sessions. The color is beautiful in person—clean, modern, and adds a fresh pop to the room without being overwhelming. I also really like the smooth wheels and sturdy build; it feels stable and well-made. Overall, this is a great combination of style, comfort, and value. Highly recommend!

Great Chair! Worth the Price!
Color: Sky Blue, Size: Pack of 1
LOVE my new desk chair! I got the Sky Blue which is a really pretty blue in person. I work from home in tech, and had been getting constant headaches no matter what position I was in. I finally decided to invest in a better desk chair, and I'm SO glad I did! It's much more supportive and comfortable. I really like that I can flip the arms up or down, and the height is easy to adjust. Also, because I can flip the arms up, I can keep the chair out of the way when I'm not working by putting it right up against the desk. Very much worth the price! Assembly was simply and quick. Not even 30 minutes. Also, when I had a question about the chair, their support team was quick to respond and very helpful. Highly recommend!
