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.

MOM-1, PANTS-1...well, I guess we both win
Size: 32, Color: Black
Purchased for my 17 yr old son, about 6'2, 180, medium built. PROS -Black pair is a nice happy medium between faded black and pitch dark. -Roomy around the waist, but not enough for children to sag (no, no, no,) -excellent price for quality of product CONS -might be too comfortable for wearer, resulting in an request for an abnormal amount of additional pairs -consistent compliments for wearer could cause inflated ego or confidence OVERALL I didn't hear any complaints from my son or "can you return this" which is a WIN for me, bc he's usually very picky. it's a whole thing with the length and the thickness, color, all of it. I thought these pants looked really nice, the color was casual enough for friends, and dressy enough for church. I was pleasantly surprised. Not a big fan of belts, but he is not comfortable with sagging (thank goodness), and the fit around the waist provided enough support to stay where they needed to. Pants also did not scrunch up at the bottom, and did not fit like capris. Product title described product to a T (or pants): slim fit stretch comfort casual classic solid- it was all of those in one!

Super long length but quality fabric
Size: 28, Color: Army Green
Fits more like skinny jeans rather than slim fit. It’s a size 28 so my waist fits fine but the length is super long for no reason. I decided to keep it due to the fabric material feeling. I fold the bottom of the pants to make it look for fit. I’m 5’4.

Buying more pairs.
Size: 36, Color: Purple
True to fit and extremely comfy. Even tho the title says mens, it’s designed like a womens when it comes to the pockets. Not deep pockets. If you want a tight fit go a size smaller, if you want a baggy fit go size bigger. Color is how you see it in photos.
