MWC WW2 Pattern "ATP" Watch with Cream Dial and 21 Jewel Automatic Movement

Description: SKU Code: DD/01/AU/CD This automatic self-winding classic 1940s pattern MWC military watch with a small subsidiary dial second hand is based on the typical designs used by British forces from 1938 and during the course of WWII, this model was the precursor to the dirty dozen, it retains the acrylic crystal as used on the original watches although the original hand-winding mechanical movement is upgraded to a self-winding 21 Jewel automatic which can also be manually wound if required. The watch offers the benefit of retaining the original outward appearance whilst having the advantage of a few discreet updates to improve its suitability for use on a day-to-day basis. This watch has a heavy stainless steel satin finish case made from Military Grade 316L stainless steel, subsidiary dial second hand, hacking function, cream dial and luminous hands. The watch also has a historically accurate canvas strap as used in the 1940s. The final image but one shows the original 12 watches hence the term "Dirty Dozen" which were made by 12 companies, Buren, Cyma, Eterna, Grana, Jaeger Le-Coultre, Lemania, Longines, IWC, Omega, Record, Timor and Vertex, although this watch is an earlier model than those which comprise the Dirty Dozen it was the direct predecessor. MWC were not a manufacturer at the time that the original watches of this pattern were made having been founded in 1974 but this watch is very much in the spirit of the originals* The very last image was sent to MWC by some military watch enthusiasts to ask if it was possible to create something in the spirit of the ATP watch which had a cream dial, there were originally 20 variants of these ATPs and they are quite unusual because the Swiss manufacturers at the time sold black dialed watches to the Germans and cream dialed watches to the British. This watch has already proven popular with a lot of our regular buyers who are looking for something unique.
