SKU Code: G10PL/PV
This MWC model is an exact remake of the G10 PVD Stealth with a 12-hour NATO pattern dial, originally produced between 1982 and 1999. While it closely resembles our current models, it features a more compact case, making it visually indistinguishable from the originals, as seen in the final image. However, significant improvements have been made, including a 60-month battery life compared to the original's 18-month lifespan in the 1980s.
Key Features:
- Improved Battery Life: Now features a 60-month battery life, a significant upgrade from the original 18-month lifespan.
- Enhanced Nighttime Visibility: Utilizes Super Luminova for improved nighttime visibility while retaining the historical encircled T on the dial. Super Luminova operates like a light battery, glowing in the dark after sufficient activation by sunlight or artificial light. Larger markings are often visible throughout the night and can be easily recharged by exposing the watch to bright light for a few minutes.
- Durable and Reliable: Extensively evaluated by military personnel in various locations, proving long-term reliability and durability.
Historical Accuracy with Modern Improvements:
While this model remains visually identical to the original watches made in the 1980s and 1990s, it incorporates several detailed improvements, making it superior to its predecessors. Super Luminova pigments, which are 100% free of radioactivity, replace the original tritium paint, addressing aging issues associated with old radioactive pigments.
PVD Finish:
The special covert matte black non-reflective PVD finish used for this watch is often specified in military contracts for special forces units and anti-terrorist units, as well as for various covert operations. The PVD process chemically alters the color of the steel at a molecular level, providing a finish vastly superior to painted finishes, which can fade or rub off. This ensures the finish will not deteriorate even during heavy usage, though it can be damaged by severe abrasion or gouging.
