MWC General Service Men's Automatic Black Steel Pocket Watch, Black,

Military pocket watches along with their civilian equivalents are experiencing a huge increase in popularity. Historically they have often been used for land, airborne and naval applications.During World War II they were often used by navigators and bomb pointers instead of conventional watches. They often found it easier to place their pocket watch on the nautical chart, bench or in the face of the plane while working or approaching the target. The main reason why pocket watches were so popular was that wristwatches of the time were usually very small and difficult to read, with an average diameter of only 32mm, while the pocket watch case of about 50mm was much easier to see. We make different variations of this watch with slightly different specifications to meet the specific needs of a variety of customers.
