W10/445-MQZ – Classic 1940s/1950s Military-Style Watch

This MWC model is inspired by classic British military watches from the 1940s and 1950s. With its clean dial, subsidiary seconds display, and balanced proportions, it reflects the distinctive character of early field watches while incorporating modern materials for reliable everyday use.


Vintage Character with Modern Practicality

The design remains faithful to historical models, featuring a domed acrylic (plexiglass) crystal and traditional military styling. At the same time, modern construction ensures durability and ease of use in daily wear.


Hybrid Movement – Smooth Sweep with Quartz Accuracy

This watch is powered by a modern hybrid quartz movement.

The movement is battery-powered and quartz-regulated but drives the hands in a smooth sweeping motion, offering a more traditional mechanical feel without the need for manual winding.

In simple terms, it combines:

  • The visual appeal of a mechanical watch
  • The accuracy and convenience of quartz

Durable Stainless Steel Case

The case is manufactured from 316L stainless steel with a satin finish, providing durability while maintaining a clean, understated appearance consistent with military-style watches.


Clear, Functional Dial

The black dial is designed for excellent legibility, with luminous hands and markers and a subsidiary seconds dial for precise timekeeping.


Period-Style Strap

The watch is fitted with an 18 mm canvas strap, inspired by those used on mid-20th century military watches, completing the authentic overall look.

Historical Reference

This model draws design inspiration from British military watches of the WWII and immediate post-war period, often associated with the “Dirty Dozen” specification watches produced by various manufacturers.

MWC, established in 1974, is not connected to those original manufacturers. This watch is a modern interpretation designed to capture the style and functionality of those classic timepieces.

Good quality desk for the money
Color: White, Size: 40inch without Power Outlet
Overall this is nice little desk, cute, sturdy, and relatively easy to put together by myself. I took one star off because the bottoms of the desk drawers was missing. I contacted the seller and initially got a pretty quick response that the manufacturer would send replacement pieces and provide the shipping tracking information from the warehouse as soon as they had it. Then a few weeks went by without any word and I couldn't seem to contact anyone again (every link came up broken) so I thought I was essentially ghosted. But then they did contact me with the tracking information and eventually sent the replacement drawer flats. So it took almost two months to resolve but I did get the missing pieces and overall I'm pretty happy with this desk as it was exactly what I wanted for my small home office.

Not a sturdy construction
Color: White, Size: 40inch without Power Outlet
I was excited about this purchase until I tried to assemble it. I bought this desk because i liked the design and the size. It also had great reviews as a sturdy desk. One of the joints fell apart. Parts of the desk have lock in screws wile other joints have these smaller locks that don't really work. I didn't return it because it's to heavy for me to re-box. I'm 66. I'm really disappointed. I wish furniture came already assembled. Hard to find these days. I guess I'll go back to purchasing real wood items from Facebook Market Place and thrift stores.
