This watch, model CLIX/LW/BZ, is described in detail below, including any reported issues. Further down, you'll find comprehensive information from the factory website, covering dimensions, specifications, and other details.
Model: CLIX/LW/BZ
Condition: Brand new, but the rotor might need resetting. We acquired a batch of 25 in a clearance sale, which were subject to a recall for checking. Most seemed fine, but resetting the rotor might be necessary. This batch raised some concerns for the distributor, though issues were often unnoticeable.
These bronze watches develop unique patinas, varying from one watch to another and from batch to batch, making each piece distinct and appealing to many buyers.
Fault: Running fine, but the rotor might need resetting. Even if there’s an issue, it does not prevent manual winding, making these watches a great bargain at their price.
Crystal: Non-reflective and shatter-resistant sapphire crystal
Caseback: Clear, providing a view of the mechanical movement
Additional Information
The Bronze MWC Ltd Edition Classic Aviator watch is one of MWC's classic pilot watch models. Bronze, made of copper and tin, develops a unique patina over time, which protects it from damage and adds to its appeal. Despite its retro look, bronze watch cases have only been used for about 30 years.
The Classic Aviator range is based on military designs from the 1940s and 50s, featuring either traditional subsidiary dials or sweep second hands. The extra-large 46mm case gives the watch a significant presence and attracts favorable comments from enthusiasts. The dial’s design ensures easy readability day and night, similar to WWII standards.
Maintenance and Benefits
This model features a traditional automatic 24-jewel NH35A mechanical movement with a 41-hour power reserve. The sapphire crystal used in this watch is highly durable and scratch-resistant, preferred by military and security personnel, police officers, and outdoor enthusiasts. It provides superior durability compared to mineral crystals, making it ideal for active lifestyles.
