The Military Watch Company MKIII Classic NATO Military Watch MKIII Hand-Wound Classic NATO Military Watch is a recreation of the classic 1950s NATO specification watches which were made under UK Ministry of Defence reference 6B/346 MK XI.

Although it is very similar in style to the watches made at that time, this watch offers greatly improved accuracy through the use of a modern high-performance 17-jewel movement.

This watch, whilst closely based on the old 1950s case design, has been improved to comply with current 50-metre water-resistance requirements. It offers true military looks and will appeal to both serving and retired military personnel.

These watches are built to a specification that could never even be contemplated by most current defence ministries because the reality is that, with their current budgetary constraints, no modern military forces could afford watches of this quality when cheaper models can fulfil their need.

In the past, the world’s forces regularly purchased Rolex, IWC, Omega, Longines and various other well-known brands. Unfortunately, those days are long gone.

Because many people still want a military-type watch that looks right even though it is made to a much higher specification than a current issue model, MWC offer the MWC MKIII Classic NATO Military Watch.

No expense has been spared to create a superior quality product. From the high-performance movement to the brushed stainless steel 1950/60s design case which is manufactured and hand-finished in Zurich, the quality of finish is visibly superior to any current military watches.

The MWC MKIII is supplied with a standard NATO issue webbing strap.
