Dirty Dozen-Inspired Military Hybrid Watch

This modern interpretation draws inspiration from the iconic "Dirty Dozen" military watches issued during the 1940s and 1950s. Combining historical military aesthetics with modern hybrid technology, it delivers the best of both worlds—a smooth sweeping second hand and ultra-low maintenance performance.


Hybrid Movement Technology

This watch features a mechanical/quartz hybrid movement. Powered by a battery and regulated by a quartz crystal, it drives the hands mechanically through electromagnetic coils—mimicking the sweep of a traditional automatic watch but without the need for winding or regular servicing.

  • Combines mechanical movement feel with quartz reliability
  • No mainspring—just smooth, battery-driven precision
  • Subsidiary seconds dial with a true sweep motion

Design and Features

  • Case: Heavy-duty Military Grade 316L stainless steel, satin finish
  • Dial: Matte black with luminous hands and hour markers
  • Subdial: Small seconds at 6 o'clock
  • Strap: 18mm historically accurate canvas strap (1940s–50s style)
  • Hacking Function: Yes, for accurate time setting
  • Water Resistance: 5 ATM (50 meters)
  • Glass: Domed plexiglass / Perspex crystal

Unique 24-Hour Subdial

At the 6 o'clock position, this pointer-style 24-hour subdial acts primarily as a day/night indicator. It mirrors the main hour hand in a 24-hour format.

  • Not an independent GMT or second time zone
  • Cannot be set separately—linked to main hour hand

To Set the 24-Hour Subdial:

  • Pull out the crown to the time-setting position (one click).
  • Rotate the hands until the correct 24-hour time is shown.
  • Push the crown back in to finish.

Technical Specifications

  • Lug to Lug: 43 mm
  • Thickness: 13.5 mm
  • Lug Type: Drilled lugs
  • Dial Colour: Black
  • Case / Crown / Caseback: 316L stainless steel
  • Glass: Plexiglass / Perspex domed crystal
  • Water Resistance: 5 ATM (50 meters)
  • Movement: Mechanical/Quartz Hybrid
  • Luminous Material: Luminova
  • Serial Number: Individually engraved on the caseback
  • Strap: 18 mm 1950s-pattern canvas

Historical Context

The final image shows the original 12 "Dirty Dozen" watches produced by legendary military contractors: Buren, Cyma, Eterna, Grana, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Lemania, Longines, IWC, Omega, Record, Timor, and Vertex.

Although MWC was founded in 1974 and not among the original manufacturers, this model captures the heritage, purpose, and utilitarian charm of those classic timepieces—reimagined for the modern era.

LOVE THEM!!! SAVED MY NECK!!!
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
Hallelujah!!! After spending so much money on pillows that didn't work for my aching neck and shoulders, I finally found pillows that works for me and I am SOOOOOO excited. I had my 1st night of comfortable sleeping after years of restless, painful nights. These pillows are the BOMB! I kid you not. I have spent hundreds of dollars on pillow to no avail. I mean, the expensive hotel pillows that were suppose to make you feel as if you're sleeping on clouds made my neck stiff and painful. Let's not talk about that "infamous pillow: advertised on the infomercial that was suppose to be the #1 pillow to fight against neck and back pain. Shhhh, we won't say the name but uh....TRASH. Ok, I'm back. Lost it there for a moment thinking of all the money I wasted on all those pillows that claimed to be "THE PILLOW." LOL..what a joke. So, anyway back to what I was saying about this pillow beauty. The very 1st night I slept on it, I'll admit I was skeptical when I laid down. Scared I was going to wake up with a sore neck and headache to go along with it. I tore the package open, let the pillow inflate, fluffed them with my hands and allowed them to sit for a few hours. I didn't wait the allotted time suggested because I was too anxious to try them and it was almost my bed time. So, excitedly I jumped in bed, laid my head down on the pillow and immediately thought, "oh no, these are too soft. This will not work." I just knew I would wake up to a sore neck. Cautiously, I laid down and waited to drift off, dreading waking up the next morning with a stiffer. (LOL) To my surprise I actually slept all night too. I usually would wake up like a thousand times fighting with repositioning the pillow to find my comfort zone. WOW, not that night. I slept like a baby and wait for it.....I woke up the next morning with NO PAIN! Hallelujah! I couldn't believe it. I was literally pain free in my neck and did not have a headache from the strain on my neck, shoulders and back. Man, is this really happening, I asked myself. This just can't be real. Wake, wake girl. You are dreaming. But nope. I was fully awake and with a pain free neck and shoulders. I jumped up and started getting ready for my day. I finally found the pillow that I wish I had found years ago. Could have saved so much $ from going down the drain. I am SO thankful to all the reviews that I read that shared their positive experience and encouraged me to purchase for myself. I am SOOOO GLAD I took a chance and brought these little beauties. They saved my neck and my sanity. Thank you EIUE Hotel Collection for inventing the pillow that is reasonably priced and that does the job it's intended to do. Allow people to have a good nights rest WITHOUT neck, shoulder and back pain. Your Rock! This is a real review and I am a real person.

They are long pillows but definitely flat, I tried and tried to fluff them up and they are about like the $3 Walmart pillows. I will be returning these

Holy Wow!
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
These pillows are so fluffy and material is really soft. They came vacuumed packed. I thought well this will be a return for sure. Followed the directions and placed them in my dryer for 15 minutes. Could not believe how big and fluffy they were. My company always ask for the link and I have ordered them for family members and for myself 4 times. Mine I’ve had over a year and have kept their shape and fluffiness. If you like a fluffy pillow…this is the one. They are the best!!!

Comfortable and good quality
Color: White, Size: Queen (Pack of 2)
So comfortable! We stayed at an Airbnb that used these pillows and went home and ordered some! These are similar to another more expensive pillow I’ve used but way better price. The filling feels nice and they don’t go flat or get lumpy so far.

how good the product is
Item Package Quantity: 4, Size: Standard
These pillows are soft, fluffy, and surprisingly supportive for the price. They’re comfortable no matter how you sleep — whether on your side, back, or stomach — and they maintain their shape well overnight without going flat. The fabric cover feels smooth and breathable, keeping things cool through the night. After a few days of fluffing and use, they settle nicely into a perfect medium firmness. They also wash and dry easily without clumping. Overall, a great‑value pillow set that offers comfort, versatility, and quality — ideal if you need an affordable yet cozy bedding refresh.
