Cabot Watch Company Mellor-72 W10 hand wound 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.
1970s reissue mechanical hand-wound watch which was originally issued to
British Army W10, Royal Navy 0552 & RAF 6BB.
Classic military tonneau case design. Luminous hands and markers, acrylic glass. Clear to read, functional and reliable. A classic military timepiece that will provide years of service. Mechanical Swiss movement. Swiss parts, Swiss-made.
Engraving is available for this watch, however we cannot accept returns of any items that have been personalised.
I am impressed with how rugged and well-made this watch feels. I expect many years of service out of it. Here it is with my 1974 RAF strap.
I really can’t fault the Mellor 72, I have owned a couple of original CWC W10’s from the 70’s, and the Mellor 72 has all the look and charm of an original W10, but with modern technology and reliability. In my opinion it’s the best true to original, mechanical military field watch on the market today. It has fantastic finishing, is smooth to wind, is accurate and a great classic size.
I ordered the CWC Mellor 72 watch on line. The order was processed promptly and shipped to Australia via DHL.
The watch has totally met my expectations - easy to wear and looks great. Really good for day to day use. The choice of different straps is an added bonus. You can add your own personality and easy to fit. A great experience from CWC.
