PRE-ORDERS NOW OPEN. SHIPPING IN SEPTEMBER 2026.

Made by MWC (Zurich) in collaboration with Sachs Watch Co.

This recreation of a “Dirty Dozen” type watch is based on the original 1940s–1950s military timepieces. It features a 17-jewel hand-wound mechanical movement with a power reserve of approximately 36 hours, staying true to the traditional mechanics of the era.

The watch has a heavy stainless steel, satin-finish case made from military-grade 316L stainless steel, a black dial with luminous markings, and a subsidiary seconds dial, faithfully reflecting the style and layout of the originals. It’s fitted with a historically accurate canvas strap, identical in pattern to those used during the 1940s and 1950s.
