MWC P656 2023 Model Titanium Tactical Series Watch with Subdued Dial, GTLS Tritium and Ten Year Battery Life (Date Version)
SKU Code: TP656/D/SUBD/L1
The robust MWC Tactical Series of watches with titanium cases are water-resistant up to 300m. These watches are specifically designed for law enforcement, marine, surface, and airborne applications, and they surpass U.S. W-46374F Type 6 specifications. They are regularly ordered in bulk by a client who places substantial orders with MWC each year for variants of this specific design. Based on designs from the mid-1990s, these watches have undergone multiple upgrades. One of the original watches is shown in the final image. The main improvements include:
- Solid Titanium Case and Bezel: The first watch of this pattern in the 1990s, the P650, was made from Polyamide.
- Shatter-Resistant Sapphire Crystal: Significantly more durable than mineral glass.
- Increased Water Resistance: From 30m to 300m (99ft to 1000ft).
- Screw-Down Locking Crown and Caseback: Enhances water resistance and durability.
- High Visibility Numerals on the Bezel: The subdued dial is covert and easy to read even under adverse light conditions.
- Swiss Tritium GTLS (Gaseous Tritium Light Sources): Significantly brighter than conventional luminous watches.
The watch features a high-quality Ronda high-precision Quartz Movement (Ronda calibre 715li) designed to withstand high G-forces, with a 10-year battery life and an end-of-battery life indicator. Although not a dedicated diving watch, it is water-resistant to 30 ATM (1000 ft/300m) and is suitable for all land-based or marine requirements.
A notable difference between this watch and many other models we manufacture is its ability to maintain high levels of accuracy at altitudes up to 12,000m / 40,000ft without compensatory pressurization.

Sapphire Crystal Benefits: Synthetic sapphire is by far the best material for watch crystals due to its strength and resistance to shattering and scratching. These characteristics make it highly appealing to military and security personnel, police officers, and people who lead active outdoor lifestyles, accounting for over 70% of our customers. When clients experience accidents resulting in a cracked crystal, over 90% of the time it involves watches with mineral glass crystals. Even with hardened mineral crystals, they do not come close to sapphire for durability under adverse conditions. After manufacturing, sapphire glass is heat-treated to remove internal stresses, enhancing its strength. Two layers of anti-reflective coating are applied to the crystals. This durability makes sapphire crystal a premium feature, typically found in higher-end watches.
