SKU Code: CHR21/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.

    Excellent for Digestive Health and Easy to Incorporate into Daily Routine
    Size: 2.32 Pound (Pack of 1), Style: New
    I've been using Metamucil Premium Blend for a while now, and it has been a great addition to my daily health regimen. This psyllium fiber powder supplement is particularly effective for improving digestive health. The fact that it's a 4-in-1 fiber supplement is impressive. It not only aids in regularity but also helps with maintaining healthy blood sugar levels, lowering cholesterol, and promoting digestive health. The orange flavor is pleasant, making it easy to drink, and it's great that it's sweetened with Stevia, making it a sugar-free option. I appreciate that this supplement is plant-based. It's a natural way to increase my daily fiber intake, and I've noticed a significant improvement in my digestive regularity since I started using it. The texture of the powder is fine and it mixes well with water, without forming clumps. The packaging is convenient, providing 180 servings, which is excellent for long-term use. It's easy to measure out each serving, and the container keeps the powder fresh. Using Metamucil Premium Blend daily has been a simple yet effective way to enhance my overall digestive health. It's a product I trust and feel good about incorporating into my health routine. For anyone looking to increase their fiber intake for digestive health, Metamucil Premium Blend is a great choice. It's effective, easy to use, and has a pleasant taste. Highly recommended!

    Won’t go a day without it
    Size: 2.32 Pound (Pack of 1), Style: New, Size: 2.32 Pound (Pack of 1), Style: New
    So much better than the sugar version which has SOOOO much sugar it gave me heartburn. Yes, the sugar version is tasty like Tang, but that sugar gave me indigestion. The aspartame version was disgusting. This Stevia is awesome. Because it doesn’t have tons of sugar, you only need 2 heaping teaspoons instead of 2 tablespoons of the regular. I think it’s delicious and also has natural coloring, the sugar version has artificial dyes. I drink it everyday and my GI tract has never been happier. Only one small issue, this size container (~14 oz) is narrow, so buy the bigger bottle (23 or 34?) so you can reach in to scoop it easily. I have zero bloating or gas and sometimes take it more than once per day. It supposedly decreases appetite if taken before meals. It expands in your gut! Perfect. Just don’t take it within 2 hours of oral meds/vitamins as it can supposedly decrease gut absorption. Enjoy the results!!

    Lower Cholesterol and Better Digestion, Even if the Taste Takes Getting Used To
    Size: 2.32 Pound (Pack of 1), Style: New
    I started using this fiber supplement after my doctor recommended it to help manage my cholesterol. I like that it’s plant-based and sugar-free, and it’s easy to mix into water. After taking it regularly, I’ve noticed a positive impact on my digestion, and I’m hopeful it will help with my cholesterol in the long run. The only thing is that the taste and texture aren’t quite what I expected — it’s a bit like protein powder. Still, the health benefits make it worth continuing
