SKU Code: CHR20/PVD/HY

The MWC PVD NATO chronograph is based on the specifications used by leading manufacturers of NATO chronographs, enhanced with several improvements for better operation and visibility. Although designed to meet the needs of military aircrews, it is also ideal for airline and GA pilots. The case size is 45.5mm, and the chronograph uses a VK68 hybrid movement.

Key Features

This chronograph includes a 24-hour (Military Time) sub-dial, allowing users to track time in a 24-hour format. This feature is crucial for personnel working extended periods without natural daylight exposure.

The main difference between hybrid watches and mechanical chronographs is their power source. Mechanical models are powered by a mainspring regulated by a balance wheel and controlled by precision levers, hammers, and gears. In contrast, hybrid chronographs are powered by a battery, regulated by a quartz crystal, and controlled by precision mechanical components. This combination provides the appearance and feel of a mechanical watch with the accuracy of quartz.

Hybrid Movement Benefits

  • Operation: Hybrid watches outwardly function like mechanical ones. The top button provides a crisp response, starting the timing hand in 1/5 sec increments. The stop button at 5 o’clock has the same crisp feel, with the hand snapping back to 12 upon reset.
  • Accuracy: The factory rating for accuracy is +/-20 seconds per month, superior to mechanical chronographs, which are typically accurate to +/-2 or 3 seconds per day.
  • Maintenance: Hybrids require significantly less maintenance and are more reliable in the long term.
  • Convenience: Ideal for those owning multiple watches, as hybrids do not need winding before use. A battery swap every few years and a water-resistance check is all that’s required.

Covert Matt Black PVD Finish

The special matt black non-reflective PVD finish is often specified in military contracts for special forces and anti-terrorist units. The PVD process alters the color of the steel at a molecular level, ensuring it will not deteriorate under heavy usage, unlike painted finishes which can fade or rub off.

Benefits of Sapphire Crystal

Synthetic sapphire is extremely strong, shatter-resistant, and scratch-resistant, making it ideal for military and security personnel, police officers, and active outdoor enthusiasts. These groups account for over 70% of our customer base. Over 90% of incidents involving cracked crystals occur with mineral glass. Even hardened mineral crystals cannot match the durability of sapphire. The sapphire crystal is heat-treated to remove internal stresses and coated with two layers of anti-reflective coating. While more expensive, the superior longevity, resilience, and performance justify its use in higher-end watches.


This MWC PVD NATO chronograph combines the reliability and precision of modern technology with the rugged design and functionality needed for professional use. Its robust features and user-friendly design make it an exceptional choice for both professionals and enthusiasts.

    Extremely Comfortable Wrist Rest
    Size: Compact, Pattern Name: Keyboard, Size: Compact, Pattern Name: Keyboard
    Hands down the best keyboard wrist rest! Fits perfectly with my HyperX Origins keyboard, almost like these products were made for each other! I really like the minimalist design of it and the quality does not suffer because of this. The memory foam is more comfortable than the memory foam on my bed, and the cooling gel stays cool no matter how long I'm using it. I have mine on a desk mat and it doesn't slip at all, it stays exactly where I need it which is great! Whether you're someone uses a computer for work all day or just a casual gamer, I highly recommend getting this wrist rest. It will change your life!

    The best wrist rest I've used.
    Size: Compact, Pattern Name: Keyboard
    It has just the right balance of firmness and softness. The cooling gel does keep it cool. It is durable. Its rubber grip holds it firmly on my desktop. If I need another one, I will purchase this product.

    Well-crafted book rest for desk
    Color: Black Walnut, Color: Black Walnut
    I love this perfectly-sized and shaped board! I wanted something to tilt my daily planner up so it was easier to see and write on throughout the day. Book stands just don't work for my use. This tucks under my computer, so it frees space to work (see photo). The wood, the soft edges, and its finish are well crafted and beautiful. The pads on the bottom keep it from sliding on my desk. I'm thinking about buying another for my home in a spot where I read every morning.

    It's a chunk of wood! Perfect.
    Color: Black Walnut
    It's a chunk of wood! Finish is great, height is great, looks great. Easy to clean unlike foam ones. I did get one that was warped but the replacement was fine. Just check that it's actually flat when you get it
