{"title":"Divers Watches Automatic","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe manufacture a very extensive range of automatic self winding divers watches for a wide variety of applications with models in both stainless steel and black non-reflective PVD finish. The watches are manufactured with either Super Luminova or Tritium GTLS which is a unique technology that uses a combination of tritium and phosphors encapsulated in tiny glass tubes to create high levels of visibility during darkness without fading over the course of the night which can be an issue for some clients when they are using a watch with conventional paint such as Luminova. The main advantage of GTLS tritium gas tubes is that that they require no external a power source and are up to 100 times brighter than luminous painted dials hence when night performance is absolutely crucial they are the ideal choice because they do not require charging or any attention prior to use.\u003c\/span\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"mwc-24-jewel-300m-auto-military-divers-watch-in-black-pvd-steel","title":"MWC 24 Jewel 300m Automatic Military Divers Watch with Sapphire Crystal and Ceramic Bezel in Black PVD Steel","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"google_translate_element\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"254\" data-end=\"472\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU: \u003c\/strong\u003eSUB\/PVD\/B\/A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"254\" data-end=\"472\"\u003eThis military-spec diver’s watch in covert black PVD is part of our current operational range.

These characteristics are highly valued by over 70% of our customer base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur observations show that over 90% of incidents involving cracked watch crystals occur with mineral glass. Even hardened mineral crystals do not match the durability of sapphire. Sapphire crystals undergo a heat treatment process to remove internal stresses, enhancing their strength. They are then coated with two layers of anti-reflective coating, providing superior clarity and durability.

Helium molecules are among the smallest, allowing them to penetrate the watch seals even when other gases and water cannot. Saturation divers, who spend lengthy periods at great depths with high pressure, are the primary users of watches with helium escape valves. Helium molecules can build up inside the watch, creating pressure that can damage the watch or blow out the crystal or crown.

In accidents resulting in a cracked crystal, over 90% involve watches with mineral glass crystals. Even hardened mineral crystals do not match the durability of sapphire. Heat-treated to remove internal stresses, sapphire crystals are then coated with two layers of anti-reflective coating, making them even stronger.

This can occur in saturation diving, where divers spend extended periods at great depths under high pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelium buildup inside the watch can create internal pressure, potentially causing serious damage or even blowing out the crystal or crown when unscrewed. This is particularly dangerous during time checks or resets. The helium escape valve automatically releases these molecules during decompression, ensuring the watch returns to normal sea level pressure without letting any external elements in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eImportance of Helium in Deep Diving\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelium is crucial for deep-sea diving because it does not cause nitrogen narcosis, unlike nitrogen. Helium replaces nitrogen in most deep-sea mixed gas diving applications. Professional divers working at great depths for extended periods often live in dry environments pressurized with an oxygen\/helium mix. Upon surfacing and decompressing, this gas must be safely removed to avoid potentially hazardous situations like the crystal or crown being blown out, which could cause injury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-quality Sellita SW200, 28,800 bph, 26 Jewels, 38-hour power reserve with hacking function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100ATM \/ 3,280ft \/ 1,000m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrown:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screwdown locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelium Escape Valve:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 45mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness: 15.8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBezel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unidirectional Non-Reflective with Ceramic Insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrystal Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sapphire with Anti-Reflective Coating*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase:\u003c\/strong\u003e 316L Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllumination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Super Luminova on markers, hands, and bezel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet: \u003c\/strong\u003e24mm  stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBenefits of Sapphire Crystal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSynthetic sapphire is the best material for watch crystals due to its exceptional strength and resistance to shattering and scratching.

These characteristics make it very appealing to military and security personnel, police officers, and those who lead active outdoor lifestyles, accounting for over 70% of our customers. The original plexiglass crystals used in the 1960s were easily scratched and prone to cracking, limiting water resistance. Over 90% of cracked crystal incidents involve watches with mineral glass crystals or plexiglass. Even hardened mineral crystals do not come close to sapphire for durability under adverse conditions. Sapphire crystals are heat-treated to remove internal stresses, enhancing their strength, and are made into watch crystals with two layers of anti-reflective coating. Sapphire crystal's robustness and durability make it a preferred choice for high-end watches and is now used in the latest iPhone models. While more expensive, sapphire crystal is typically fitted to higher-end watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MWC - Military Watch Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40112931045491,"sku":"DIV2001\/SS\/AUT","price":389.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1140\/1866\/products\/DIV2001_SS_AUT-GS_SEP0017b.jpg?v=1664900513"},{"product_id":"mwc-1999-2001-pattern-automatic-military-divers-watch-with-sapphire-crystal-and-60-hour-power-reserve-1","title":"MWC 1999-2001 Pattern Automatic Military Divers Watch  - Retro Luminous Paint, Sapphire Crystal, 60 Hour Power Reserve","description":"\u003cdiv id=\"google_translate_element\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU: DIV2001\/SSAT\/AUT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMWC first manufactured the predecessor to this 300m\/1000ft water-resistant diver's watch between the early 1990s and 2004.

The self-luminous GTLS tubes make the watch extremely easy to read at night, with consistently bright illumination from dusk until dawn. Each hour and minute hand, as well as the hour markers, contain a brightly glowing vial of tritium gas.

Modern divers often use dive computers, making the traditional bezel function less critical. The 12-hour bezel increases the watch's versatility while maintaining the 300m\/1000ft water resistance and classic diver watch appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEffortless Time Zone Adjustment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 12-hour bezel design is incredibly simple to use.
