MWC Heavy Duty 300m Military Divers Watch in Stainless Steel Case (Quartz) with Sapphire Crystal and Ceramic Bezel (Solid Bar Version)

SKU Code: XLD/QZ/12/SS/FP

The MWC Kampfschwimmer (Military Diver) models are among MWC's latest heavy-duty ranges. This variant features upgraded sapphire crystal and a ceramic bezel, offering significantly more robust protection than most other military diver watches. Designed with additional crown protection, a wider 24mm strap (compared to the standard 20mm), and a thicker bezel, these watches are specifically engineered for use by police and military divers, as well as in inflatables operating in cold and extreme environments.

• Enhanced Grip: The thicker bezel design improves handling, a feature specified in a procurement contract for police and military divers.
• Durable Materials: Sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel ensure impact and scratch resistance, maintaining clarity and functionality even in harsh conditions.
• Robust Case: Built to withstand extreme environments, with additional crown protection and a durable 316L stainless steel case.

Benefits of Sapphire Crystal:

Synthetic sapphire is the best material for watch crystals due to its exceptional strength and resistance to shattering and scratching. These characteristics make it highly appealing to military and security personnel, police officers, and those with active outdoor lifestyles, accounting for over 70% of our customers.

To provide perspective, in accidents resulting in a cracked crystal, over 90% involve watches with mineral glass crystals. Even hardened mineral crystals do not match the durability of sapphire. Heat-treated to remove internal stresses, sapphire crystals are then coated with two layers of anti-reflective coating, making them even stronger. Although more expensive, sapphire crystal is typically found on higher-end watches and is also used in the latest iPhones.

These attributes make the MWC Kampfschwimmer an excellent choice for those seeking a robust, reliable, and stylish timepiece suitable for both professional diving and demanding everyday use.
