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.
Looks and feels just like the original, over 45 years later.

Customer Reviews
Very pleased with my G10 Fatboy. It's the perfect size. Not too small and not too big. It's just right. The added thickness and classic design makes it a joy to wear and to look at everyday.
I love this watch and the heritage behind it. The look, weight and feel of it are great. The only reason I rated it a 4 instead of a 5 is I had to pay an additional tariff.
Ordered the watch on Saturday evening and it arrived Tuesday , so a fast delivery. First impressions on opening the box are amazing, it’s a fantastic reproduction of the original G10 and a watch I’ve wanted to add to my collection of watches for a while. If you like military / field watches splash the cash and get one ordered, I doubt you’ll be disappointed.
I was looking for a "low-profile" watch for occasions where my other pieces would be out of place or even unsafe (it's 2026, let's be real). The G10 Fatboy was a no brainer for me as a watch collector and military history enthusiast.
The G10 Fatboy is thicker than I expected. It took me a couple of weeks to get used to that, and now that I have, I absolutely love it. It is very light, the steel case feels sturdy, the dial is extremely pleasant to read and the nato strap is just the right size for me.
There’s a special charm to using products from an era when things felt simpler, like the VW Golf II, the Walkman, the GameBoy... and the G10.
I highly recommend this fun little time piece.
Great looking tool watch, I've added the bond NTTD strap which I think compliments the vintage look on the dial
