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Historical Reference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.

Wonderful
Size: Cooling Queen, Size: Cooling Queen
I absolutely love these pillows From the very first night, I could feel the difference. They are incredibly comfortable, soft, and still provide great support for my neck and head. Plus, the modern design makes my bed look so much cleaner and more elegant. The fabric feels high quality, and the pillows keep their shape really well. I genuinely feel like I’m sleeping better since I started using them. Great value for the price, and I would definitely buy them again. Highly recommend

No more neck pain
Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
I needed new pillows and I’ll be the first to admit that I’m picky about my pillow. I had ordered different ones to try and these were the keepers. They are not too soft nor too firm. I wake up with neck pain and headaches if I don’t have a good pillow. I’m not experiencing any either one now. Make the purchase for yourself and try them.
