Classic 40mm Aviator Hybrid Movement

The MWC Classic 40mm Aviator Hybrid Movement is a classic pilot's watch with a cream dial and a mechanical-quartz hybrid movement. It suits anyone who loves the sweeping seconds hand of an automatic but wants hassle-free quartz maintenance.

A classic aviator with retro style

The solid 316L stainless steel case measures 38 mm, 40 mm including the crown, and is water resistant to 100 m thanks to its screw-down crown and caseback. The crown has a retro design. On the cream dial, vintage amber numerals and indexes carry Luminova lighting. A 20 mm stitched leather strap completes the old-school aviator look.

The MecaQuartz hybrid movement

MWC hybrids combine the best of new and traditional watchmaking, with features from both automatic and quartz models. A battery powers the movement through coils and a quartz oscillator, while the hands are mechanically actuated and controlled. Essentially it is a mechanical movement powered by a battery and regulated by a crystal: the only thing it lacks is a spring. The result is a highly accurate VH31 calibre with a sweep seconds hand and ultra-low maintenance.
