SKU Code: XLD/AU/24/SSPVB/FP
The MWC Kampfschwimmer (Military Diver) models are part of MWC's latest heavy-duty range of diver watches. These models feature a significantly more robust case than most other military dive watches, with additional crown protection, an impact-resistant sapphire crystal, and a scratch-resistant ceramic bezel. The Kampfschwimmer range also uses a wider 24mm strap (compared to the standard 20mm) and a thicker bezel design, making it easier to grip. This feature was specified in a procurement contract for police and military divers, as well as for use in inflatables operating in cold and extreme environments. This particular variant, unlike the XLD/AU/24/SSPVB model, comes with solid strap bars, which are sometimes required for challenging military and tactical environments.

Benefits of Sapphire Crystal:
Synthetic sapphire is the best material for watch crystals due to its exceptional strength and resistance to shattering and scratching. These characteristics make it highly appealing to military and security personnel, police officers, and those with active outdoor lifestyles, accounting for over 70% of our customers.
To provide perspective, in accidents resulting in a cracked crystal, over 90% involve watches with mineral glass crystals. Even hardened mineral crystals do not match the durability of sapphire. Heat-treated to remove internal stresses, sapphire crystals are then coated with two layers of anti-reflective coating, making them even stronger. Although more expensive, sapphire crystal is typically found on higher-end watches and is also used in the latest iPhones.
These attributes make the MWC Kampfschwimmer an excellent choice for those seeking a robust, reliable, and stylish timepiece suitable for both professional diving and demanding everyday use.
