The MWC 300m titanium G10 with a Swiss Ronda 715li movement is one of our highest specification general service watches, itb sB by far the highest specification watch of its type manufactured anywhere worldwide.B Essentially this model combines the best of both new and traditional watchmaking technology. It retains all the popular features from the conventional 300m steel models but the titanium case, ultra-low maintenance movement, Luminova, and theB shatter and the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal make thisB the ideal timepieceB for all military, law enforcement, andB security applications.

We designed the standard version of these watches specificallyB for a government contractB when it was pointed out they would not be used continuously and needed to be ableB to be heldB in storage and then issued when required without the stores worrying that the batteries might be dead we immediately recommended the Ronda 715li because the 10 year battery life of this movement completely avoids this issue.

The standard MWC G10 is one of the most tried and tested military watchesB and in its earlier variants has been in service for overB 30 years, this model shares a similar design to the steel models but the titanium case puts it into a very separate class of watches. The reverse of the case carriesB a unique serial number and the watch is supplied in a presentation box.

* A lot of people ask us what are the benefits of sapphire crystal over a standard mineral crystal? The answer is that synthetic sapphire is by far the best material for watch crystals because it is very strongB and alsoB shatter and scratch-resistant, these characteristics make it very appealing to military and security personnel,B policeB officers and people who lead active outdoor lifestyles, these groups account for over 70% of our customers. To get things into perspective we find that when clients have accidents with watches resulting in a cracked crystal over 90% usually watches with mineral glass crystals, even factoring in that we use hardened mineral crystals they still do not come close to sapphire for durability under adverse conditions. The reason that sapphire crystalsB are so strongB is that after the sapphire glass is manufactured it is also heat-treated to remove its internal stressesb which can cause weaknessb it is thenB made into the watch crystals and two layers of anti-reflective coating are applied,B interestingly sapphire crystal is now used on the latestB iPhone. Of course, sapphire crystal comes at a price hence you find that it’s normally only fitted toB higher-end watches.B
