It retains the popular battery hatch, a feature many other manufacturers have since abandoned. Initially, the battery hatch was crucial because early quartz watch batteries lasted only about a year. Today, with batteries lasting around five years, the hatch is more of a nostalgic design element, still highly valued for its historical significance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch benefits from the use of Luminova for enhanced nighttime visibility. Luminova functions like a light battery: after sufficient exposure to sunlight or artificial light, the dial glows in the dark until the luminosity gradually fades. Larger markings often remain visible throughout the night. This activation and emission process is repeatable indefinitely, and Luminova pigments are entirely free of radioactivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe special covert matte black non-reflective PVD finish is frequently specified in military contracts for various special forces units, anti-terrorist units, and covert operations. Unlike painted finishes on lower-quality watches that can fade or rub off, the PVD process alters the steel's color at a molecular level, ensuring it won't deteriorate even under heavy usage. However, extreme damage like deep gouges or severe abrasion against rocks can still affect the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur G10 is one of our most tested and proven models, with earlier versions in service for over 30 years. Numerous military personnel have evaluated this model and its predecessors in various deployments, consistently providing favorable feedback. This model is an ideal choice if you seek a solid black stainless steel military watch. The screw-down locking crown significantly contributes to its durability by offering superior protection compared to more vulnerable push-in crowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe G10 comes with a black 20mm NATO webbing strap. The back of the case bears various contract markings, and each watch is serial numbered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40mm excluding crown, 42mm including crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e 316L Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaseback:\u003c\/strong\u003e 316L Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrown:\u003c\/strong\u003e 316L Stainless Steel Screw-Down Locking Crown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5atm (50m\/165ft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery:\u003c\/strong\u003e 371 with approximately 60 months battery life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardened Mineral Glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ronda 705\/715 with date window\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrap:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20mm NATO issue strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFixed Strap Bars\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExperience the robust reliability and historical authenticity of the G1012\/24PVD, a watch designed to withstand the most demanding conditions while retaining its classic military appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MWC - Military Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14238369415,"sku":"G1012\/24PVD","price":198.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1140\/1866\/products\/x_122506_b.jpg?v=1594137906","url":"https:\/\/mwcwatch.com\/products\/mwc-g10bh-pvd-12-24-50m-water-resistant-military-watch","provider":"MWC - Military Watch Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
