SKU Code: MKIII/SS/1224UNB

This MKIII variant is identical to the MKIII/AU/SS/1224 except it features an unbranded dial and caseback, making it ideal for engraving with a service number or other personal details—a feature frequently requested by MWC clients. The MKIII automatic is a modern recreation of the classic 1950s NATO specification watches, originally made under the UK Ministry of Defence reference 6B/346 Mk XI. While it closely mirrors the style of those vintage timepieces, it incorporates a modern 24-jewel automatic movement with a 41-hour power reserve and hacking function, offering greatly improved accuracy.

Due to budget constraints, modern military forces can no longer afford watches of this quality, opting instead for cheaper models that meet their needs. Historically, forces worldwide purchased watches from brands like Rolex, IWC, Omega, and Longines. Those days are gone, but many still desire a military-pattern watch with higher specifications. The MKIII fulfills this need, sparing no expense to create a superior quality product. From the high-performance movement to the brushed stainless steel 1950s/60s design case, manufactured and hand-finished in Zurich, this model represents exceptional craftsmanship. It also features an upgraded scratch and shatter-resistant sapphire crystal with a non-reflective coating.

The watch includes a screw caseback and screw-down crown, making it highly accurate, robust, and water-resistant up to 100m (330ft).

Specifications:

  • Diameter:  39mm (excluding crown) / 42.5mm (including crown)

Benefits of Sapphire Crystal:

Many people ask about the benefits of sapphire crystal over standard mineral crystal. Synthetic sapphire is the best material for watch crystals due to its strength and resistance to shattering and scratching. These characteristics make it highly appealing to military and security personnel, police officers, and people who lead active outdoor lifestyles, who comprise over 70% of our customers.

When clients experience accidents resulting in cracked crystals, over 90% of the cases involve watches with mineral glass crystals, even though we use hardened mineral crystals. Sapphire crystals are heat-treated to remove internal stresses, enhancing their strength. They also feature two layers of anti-reflective coating. Interestingly, sapphire crystal is now used in the latest iPhone models. Although sapphire crystal comes at a higher cost, it is typically found in higher-end watches due to its superior durability.

    Okay
    I like that it fits my umbrella well, hinges open for easy application and removal, and that it has enough light for us to see our food at night. I do not like that half of the outer lights do not work part of the time until I take out the batteries and swap them around. Fine enough for the price, not worth the hassle of returning.

    Easy to use.
    Works well. Light is bright. Our new patio umbrella does not have e a center pole, so the lights get somewhat blocked. But still pretty useful.

    Sturdy & easy to move around
    Its solid & sturdy. It does exactly what it’s supposed to. You have the option to fill it up with water or sand , I choose water. It holds the umbrella in place. The wheels and handle make it really easy to move around, which is a huge plus. It fits perfectly and feels very well made. Great addition for my pool area!
