MWC 1940s Pattern 46mm Auto Military Aviator/Pilot Watch With See Thru Caseback

This MWC Ltd Edition Classic aviator watch is one of MWC's classic Pilot watch models. The MWC Classic Aviator range watches are all based on military designs from the 1940s and 50s. Some of the models have a traditional second hand within a subsidiary dial above 6 o'clock as opposed to a sweep secondhand because this was a common feature in the 1940s, the other models including this one have a sweep secondhand which started to replace the subsidiary dials on many watches from around 1943 onward.

These varying designs mean you have the option to choose a model that suits your personal style preferences. The extra-large case diameter of 46mm / 1.81 (excluding the crown) makes this a very imposing timepiece that has considerable presence and tends to attract a lot of favourable comments, especially from other watch enthusiasts. The large dial size together with Luminova paint makes this watch extremely easy to read day or night just as with the World War II originals. This model has a traditional automatic 24 jewel NH35A mechanical movement with a 41-hour power reserve when fully wound. The see-through exhibition caseback, gives excellent visibility of the mechanical movement.
