CWC British Military G10
Item code: 80034
BUILT FOR SERVICE SINCE 1980
Originally developed to meet a Ministry of Defence requirement for the British Armed Forces.
Developed in 1980 as the General Service Wrist Watch for the British Armed Forces, the CWC G10 was engineered to do one job: provide dependable, accurate, legible timekeeping wherever military service required it.
For more than four decades, the G10 has accompanied generations of British servicemen and women through training, deployment and operational service, earning its place as one of Britain's most enduring military wristwatches.
While materials, manufacturing and technology have evolved, its purpose has not.
The current G10 remains faithful to the original military specification, combining proven design with modern Swiss manufacturing, and contemporary luminous materials.
This is not an homage.
It is the latest evolution of a genuine military-issued watch.

Well done!
I'm a watch nerd. I spent a certain amount of time chasing watches of all sort. But this one is the right one for me. It is ridiculously accurate, thanks to the ETA f06.402 caliber. It has a perfect set of dimensions. The sandblasted finish is on point. The typical design cues meeting military specifications, on top of being useful and charming, brings to this watch something meaningful to me. It serves as a "vanité" in the pictorial sense of the term.
Wears comfortably as it is thin and light. Amazing accuracy and built like a tank. I highly recommend this watch.
I purchased this watch to replace an MoD issued watch from years ago. Very happy with it and I had forgotten how comfortable they were to wear, you forget you are wearing them.
This one is perfect for autumn, and all the other seasons. CWC kindly put it on a 19mm coyote strap, and its a beauty.
I've had a few of these in the past, including several vintage ones, but I prefer the modern version. Vintage ones just don't look as crisp. The numerals on this one are pure white, and the lume is superb. Add in the new high accuracy movement, and you have a winner. Buy this watch. It's one of he best field watches for any money.
