In 1980, the British MOD planned to fit quartz movements into the W10 case pattern, but at the time quartz movements were too thick to fit. This led military watch manufacturers back to the drawing board — ultimately giving rise to the G10 range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe final two images in this listing show a government specification sheet from February 1980, requesting tenders for this exact W10 pattern case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eCase Diameter: 36 mm (excl. crown), 38 mm (incl. crown)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eLug to Lug: 42 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThickness: 13 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eDial Colour: Black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eCase Material: 316L stainless steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eCaseback: 316L stainless steel (screw type)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eCrown: Screw-down\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWater Resistance: 10 ATM \/ 100 m \/ 330 ft\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eMovement: NH35A – 24-jewel automatic (hand-winding option)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eGlass: Hardened mineral crystal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eStrap Bars: Solid fixed bars\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSerial Number: Engraved on caseback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eStrap: 18 mm NATO (supplied with 1 × Grey and 1 × Black)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePackaging: Gift box \u0026amp; Guarantee card included\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePerfect for collectors, enthusiasts, or anyone who wants the timeless look of the original British military W10 — with the reliability and performance of modern manufacturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eWatch in stock and ready for fast despatch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003ePrice £249.95 with free uk delivery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eViewing \u0026amp; Collection is welcome (appointment only)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MWC Military Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54615943381260,"sku":null,"price":249.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/3517\/6716\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_0013a158-79a0-4c99-a729-e140f9fa3723.jpg?v=1766869507","url":"https:\/\/healysoutletstore.co.uk\/products\/mwc-2025-300m-pvd-quartz-military-divers-watch-nsn-6645-99-969-5589-copy","provider":"Healys Outlet Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
