CWC G10 Fatboy-80 Quartz Re-Issue Watch
£399.00
Item code: 73758
Reissue 1980 Fatboy. The first quartz service watch issued to British Forces.
Supplied on 19mm grey CWC issue military strap.
CWC G10 FATBOY-80,
Nicknamed "Fatboy" by collectors worldwide, due to the fatter case made to fit the early Swiss movements that were much thicker than today's ETA Swiss movements.
The dial and hands are light vintage Super-LumiNova and are extremely close to the original Tritium dials and hands.
The G10 Fatboy-80 has the old CWC logo and circle T for historical correctness, which was only used for two years before 1982 when the CWC logo in the oval came into effect.
Everything about the G10 Fatboy 1980 Reissue has been produced in Switzerland to recreate this historic timepiece. A completely new deep Fatboy case, dial, hands, even the look of the battery hatch has been matched to the original.
Powering the G10 Fatboy behind the scenes is a brand new ETA F06 range quartz movement, the next generation of reliable and durable 100% Swiss-made movements.
love the FATBOY-80, which looks and feels just like the original, over 45 years later.

Only watch I will ever need
I love this watch haven't worn one in 20 years. Only problem is that of course it's not waterproof but looks great especially with the case cover I'd buy it from this company again.
As someone who has owned a few original 1980 fat boys, along with plenty of vintage and modern CWC’s this 1980 Fat Boy re-issue really hits all the notes, it’s a really faithful re-issue which gives all the aesthetic’s of the original, but with modern reliability, and a fantastic and accurate movement, and not to mention it’s cheaper than an original, the watch oozes character and charm, and is a joy to wear.
Will this movement work in an original CWC G10 Fatboy from 1980/81? The original quartz movement ESA 536.121 is finally giving up the ghost after 45 years of faithful but patched up service. Any thought appreciated. All best, Who dares wins.
Love this one a lot of charm!
