SKU Code: MKIIIPVD100M/EX2

The Limited Edition MWC Mk III Automatic in black PVD is supplied on a high-visibility orange NATO strap and includes an additional black strap. This model is a modern recreation of the classic 1950s military watches produced to the UK Ministry of Defence reference 6B/346 Mk XI specification.

While faithful to the appearance of the original era, the Mk III incorporates significant modern upgrades in reliability, durability, and performance. At its heart is a robust 24-jewel automatic movement with a hacking function, delivering improved accuracy and dependable everyday use.

Vintage Military Style, Modern Performance

In today’s cost-conscious defence environment, watches of this quality are increasingly uncommon, with many organisations opting for lower-cost alternatives. Historically, armed forces sourced watches from prestigious makers such as Rolex, IWC, Omega, and Longines. Although that era has passed, the demand for authentic military styling combined with modern engineering remains strong.

The Mk III has been produced with no compromise in specification, featuring a high-grade movement and a classic brushed steel case inspired by 1950s and 1960s service watches. Each case is manufactured and hand-finished in Zürich to an exceptionally high standard, with finishing quality that surpasses most current military-issued watches.

Matte Black Covert PVD Finish

The specialist non-reflective black PVD finish is particularly suited to military, police, and security use where discretion is essential. Unlike painted coatings often found on lower-cost watches, Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) bonds with the steel at a molecular level, creating a finish that is highly resistant to fading, rubbing, and everyday wear.

Under normal use, the finish remains intact for many years, though it may be damaged by severe gouging or extreme abrasion.

Built for Real-World Use

The Mk III features both a screw-down crown and screw caseback, ensuring excellent water resistance, robustness, and long-term reliability in demanding environments.

Why Choose Sapphire Crystal?

Many customers ask why sapphire crystal is considered superior to mineral glass.

Synthetic sapphire is widely regarded as the premium material for watch crystals due to its outstanding scratch resistance, impact strength, and clarity. These qualities make it especially popular with military personnel, police officers, security professionals, and those with active lifestyles.

In our experience, the vast majority of cracked watch crystals involve mineral glass. Even hardened mineral crystal cannot match sapphire when subjected to demanding conditions.

Sapphire achieves its strength through a specialist manufacturing and heat-treatment process that removes internal stresses and improves resilience. It is then finished with anti-reflective coating for improved legibility in bright light.

Because of its higher production cost, sapphire crystal is generally reserved for higher-end watches — offering superior durability, longevity, and performance.

Nice socks.
Comfortable socks: who could ask for anything more? They seem to be of a nice quality, but I buy socks often so there's a rotation going on. A little pricey, but ankle socks always have that sporty look. Fit well, but kind of thin, which isn't a deal breaker.

Best socks on the market
Number of Items: 6, Color: Black/Graphite (6-pairs), Size: Medium
I highly recommend purchasing multiple orders of these socks. I used to wear puma socks that had the padding around the arch and were extremely thick (being that my feet are always cold) i wanted something thick again especially during the winter time. I have had these socks for over two months and I can truly say that they were a better purchase than my pumas. They are so thick that wearing even one pair will still fit into my tennis shoes or running shoes but my toes NEVER get cold. I put a lot of wear and tear on them and they have never started tearing on the bottoms like most socks do. Socks usually develop holes or tears from the friction but I wore the same pair over and over again while walking 13+ miles a day and I cannot tell any sign that these are going out on the bottom. I highly recommend purchasing multiple pairs of these socks.
