Classic 1960s Pattern Hybrid Dual Time Zone Divers

We are finding that increasing numbers of customers need to track the time in two separate time zones in a way that is easy and without the need for additional hands or other complications.

The 12 hour bezel design is incredibly simple to use because unlike dedicated GMT watches which have an additional hand with these watches you just offset the bezel by the required number of hours and you are good to go 

This particular watch is based on a 1960s military specification for military divers watches but in addition to the feature outlined above it has some other subtle upgrades such as a  sophisticated hybrid movement which combines the characteristics of an automatic watch, for example sweep second hand, with the benefits of a highly accurate quartz movement. The watch also has a hacking feature for synchronization or to enable you to stop the watch running and conserve power if it won't be used for an extended period.

The MWC hybrid divers watches essentially combine the best of new and traditional watchmaking technology encompassing features from both our conventional automatic and quartz models resulting in a hybrid ultra low maintenance movement. The hybrid movement has a battery powering the movement through coils and a quartz oscillator, but the hands are mechanically actuated and controlled. Essentially the movement is mechanical except it's powered by a battery and regulated by a crystal the only thing it doesn't have is a spring.

Although the watch uses Luminova as opposed to the Tritium which was used in the 1960s it has an encircled T as opposed the the L normally used for Luminova on military watches this is for historical reasons. Luminova unlike Tritium does not deteriorate with age and is not radioactive. On this particular variant the paint colour mimics the appearance of aged Tritium paint.
