Cabot Watch Company Mellor-72 W10 handwound mechanical.
Read the Hodinkee article by Jason Heaton here.
Probably the most accurate and faithfully reproduced 1970's British Military W10 available. If there was a contract today for this watch we would have no hesitation submitting this to MOD for tender.
The original had a solid one piece case with a split crown stem so that access was through the front, Today we produce this watch with a two piece case so the case back is removed making it much easier to service.
A fitting tribute to the first watch Mr. Ray Mellor made for the M.O.D.

Customer Reviews
I love my Mellor and the RAF strap. Great value, great product.
Received the watch quick and in perfect condition.
Wearing it now for 2 weeks still with the stickers on it. I love it and hate it at the same time. It was smaller then my expectations and would have bought a different CWC watch from their website. Will buy a CWC again.
Not sure what I will do with the Mellor 72. But be sure, the watch itself is really really nice, just not on my wrist.

the perfect everyday watch
Can’t say enough about this watch. It’s become one of my three daily wearers alongside the Khaki Field Mechanical and the Casio G-shock 5610. I love all three for different reasons, but especially appreciate how there is noticeably less glare on the acrylic glass of the CWC than on the KFM’s sapphire.
Also agree with the reviewer who said this watch just has a special something that the Hamilton version doesn’t. This one feels far more faithful to the original.
Fantastic customer service from CWC, too. The only thing I might do differently in the future would be to wait for a trip to England one day to purchase it in person so as to avoid the exorbitant import taxes here in Mexico. Of course no fault of CWC’s, but lesson learned.
Nevertheless, superb watch and customer service from CWC!
