British Military Watch: CWC G10 (non dated issue)
CWC G10 (non dated issue) Current British army quartz general service watch
CWC: Cabot Watch Company est: 1972
The MOD (Ministry of Defense) issues this watch to British servicemen. This definitive military watch is, clear, precise, tough, tritium light source, acrylic glass, battery hatch and is 100% Swiss made. Thousands of these current issue watches are in service and is still the choice of the MOD.
CWC G10 NON DATED ISSUE WATCH
This watch is ok. Very classic lines. But if you ask me, the U.S military watch by Marathon is much better then the CWC. Well, the cheaper models at least. Not so sure about the nicer models. Although I noticed that the more expensive models has the same crappy band that this one did. When I say crappy, I am being very generous. I would have to say the watch band is shite! The tritium light source sucks compared to the tritium tubes in the Marathon Navigator.
CWC packaging from Silvermans
Wow. Holy ghetto wrapping job! The best thing about Silvermans was the service and short delivery time. You are pretty much stuck with Silvermans because it is one of the only retail stores that carries the watch. If you are looking to get a CWC. I would invest in one of their nicer models then this one. Unless you are going for that classic and simple military look.
I would rather choose IWC than CWC. It's classic with great design.

Agreed... Although, this was an example of an inexpensive military watch. If I wanted to get a quality military watch, I would much rather have a A. Lange & Söhne , or Panerai .
CWC is an example of a British military watch that was an inexpensive military production watch that the average soldier would wear. Similar to our Marathon watch in the United States.

I am currently serving in 2 Para and did not find the CWC 2000 thrilling at all but I purchase a MWC G10 MKV Self Luminous and the tritium light sources are brilliant. I also have a Marathon self luminous which is pretty much the same in performance. I must say the MWC looks better but I guess it is down to taste and I would recommend either.
