MWC Ltd Edition Classic Aviator Watch

SKU Code: CLIX/LW/RPND

This MWC Ltd Edition Classic Aviator Watch is inspired by classic WWII pilot watches, reflecting the timeless designs of the 1940s and 50s.

Historical Design Influence

The Classic Aviator range is based on military watch designs from the mid-20th century. Some models feature a subsidiary dial for the second hand, a characteristic style of the 1940s. However, this model has a sweep second hand, a design evolution introduced around 1943. These variations allow you to select a model that aligns with your style.

A Bold and Functional Timepiece

• Featuring an extra-large 46mm case (excluding the crown), this watch commands attention and is frequently praised by watch enthusiasts.
• The large dial ensures superior readability, both day and night—just like the original WWII timepieces.
• A clear caseback provides a full view of the automatic 24-jewel NH35A mechanical movement, which offers a 41-hour power reserve when fully wound.

Why Sapphire Crystal?

Many people ask about the benefits of sapphire crystal over standard mineral glass. Here's why it's superior:
✔ Extreme Durability: Highly resistant to scratches and impacts
✔ Shatter Resistance: Much stronger than mineral glass, making it ideal for military personnel, security forces, police officers, and outdoor enthusiasts—who make up over 70% of our customers
✔ Advanced Engineering: Sapphire glass undergoes heat treatment to remove internal stresses, enhancing strength
✔ Anti-Reflective Coating: Reduces glare for better visibility
✔ Used in High-End Products: Sapphire crystal is now even utilized in premium smartphones, such as the latest iPhones 

💡 Did You Know?
Over 90% of cracked watch crystals in accidents are mineral glass, even when hardened. Sapphire crystals drastically reduce the risk of breakage, making them a must-have for durability under tough conditions.

    *Some countries are notoriously slow to process goods on arrival, including Israel, Hong Kong, Macau, Mexico, South Africa, and some South American countries. Significant delays can also occur in other countries in Africa. For time-sensitive deliveries, we recommend using UPS, DHL, or FedEx.

    All shipping estimates exclude Saturdays and Sundays.

    While we strive to deliver within the above timeframes, they are guides, and delivery cannot be guaranteed. We are not responsible for delays caused by couriers or any national postal service. If your goods are not delivered within the estimated time, please contact us at admin@mwc.watch, and we will do our best to resolve the issue promptly. We are not liable for any loss caused by late delivery.

    Our delivery charges cover the cost of shipping to you but do not include import charges and administration fees to clear the goods when entering your country if applicable.

    It is the purchaser's responsibility to understand that charges may be levied and to pay all subsequent import taxes and duties on goods shipped to their country. If items are returned to MWC due to rejected payment, subsequent charges incurred (such as import duty and processing costs) will be deducted from any refund issued.

    If you need to clarify any details regarding local taxes for your location, please contact us before placing an order. For clarification, goods shipped to the EU can be dispatched from our EU location if ordered at https://mwc.eu/, and we also have a dedicated UK shipping center at https://mwcwatches.co.uk/. In the United States, orders under $800 do not incur taxes or fees. In Australia, orders up to AU$1000 are tax-free.

    We do not accept liability for goods lost after delivery to a PO Box. We reserve the right to cancel orders where the delivery address is a PO Box. Similarly, we do not accept liability for goods lost after confirmed delivery to APO or BFPO locations.

    Customer Notification: It is the customer's responsibility to notify us if goods are not received within 21 days of the estimated delivery date. If no notification is made within this period, the buyer is deemed to have received the goods.

    Safe Place Deliveries

    Some delivery companies allow for delivery without a signature, leaving the item in a "safe place" (e.g., shed, garage, porch). If you choose this option, it is at your own risk. We initially send items by a secure service requiring a signature or proof of delivery. Using a "safe place" increases the risk of theft. We advise ensuring deliveries require a signature to ensure safe receipt.

    Failed Deliveries

    If an item is refused and returned to us, we will refund the order less the outbound and inbound shipping charges once the item is received back at our packing and shipping center. For business locations, please notify the receiving personnel of the expected delivery to avoid refusals. Usually, we will be notified of delivery issues and will email you for instructions. It is important to act quickly to avoid return and associated costs.
