MWC 300m / 1000ft Black PVD Stainless Steel Hybrid Military Divers Watch

SKU Code:B SUB/PVD/B/HY

This PVD non reflective black divers watch is the latest divers watchB in our range with 300m (1000ft) Water Resistance rating, screw down crown, screw caseback, Super Luminova and aB sophisticated hybrid movement which combines the characteristics of an automatic watch with the benefits of aB highly accurate quartz movement.

The MWC Hybrid range use a special rechargeable Lithiumb Titanate powerB cell, thisB sophisticated hybrid movement combines the characteristics of an automatic watch because it is charged by wrist movement with quartz accuracy. The Lithiumb Titanate rechargeable cellB is vastly superior to a normal watch battery where new batteries are often needed atB regularB intervals. When fully charged the watch has a 3 month power reserve so even if you only wear it for a few weeks a year it will then keep running for 3 months as opposed to around 36 hours with a standard mechanical automatic watch. You will also have plenty of warning when the power reserve is low because the second hand will start moving at two-second intervals instead of the normal one-second intervals, the watch will run down in approximately 12 hours once this happens unless it is worn (or put on a watch winder) to get the Lithiumb Titanate cell charged up again. The watch also has a hacking feature for synchronization or to enable you to stop the watch running and conserve power if it won’t be used for an extended period.

With such a sophisticated movement the MWC Hybrid divers watch is currently amongB the highest specification divers watch of its typeB available from any manufacturer. Essentially this model combines the best of new and traditional watchmaking technology. It combinesB features from the conventional automatic andB quartz models with a hybrid ultra low maintenance movement.

We designed these watches specifically for a government contract when it was pointed out they would not be used continuously and for this reason the ability to be kept in storage and issued when required whilst still remain accurate and ready for use when needed was a vital consideration. Clearly this makes sense because if the watches are not being used all the time the last thing a government department or military unit would want is to remove them from the stores only to find that the batteries are flat! Provided the hacking function is used the watches canB be utilized at very short notice and once on the wrist will charge themselves continuously.

The standard MWC divers watchB is one of ourB most tried and tested models and in its earlier quartz variants has been in service for several decadesB but this model offers an alternative to buyers who want something with cutting edge technology and very low maintenance.B

The watch isB supplied with a black NATO strap. The reverse of the case carries various contract markings.

Please Note:B Hybrid and Kinetic Watches cannot be wound when not in useB in the same way asB automatic watches using a conventional watchwinder. This is because the movement of the winder is too gentle to generate the power needed. The solution is to buy aB SEIKO YT02A KINETIC WATCH ENERGY SUPPLIER but they are quite costly at around $300 the cheap solution bizarrely is a Braun or Oral B toothbrush. SeeB https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6NijuqOD_kB andB https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNYTTqftcvkB our watchmaker confirms this is a very workable cost effective solution if the watch is not used regularly.B StrangeB weB know butB with a Braun or Oral B toothbrushB fromB aroundB $25 / B#20 / b ,22 it is a simple solution.
