SKU Code: PS656SS-WDAU/D

The MWC Tactical Series P656 watches are engineered with robust, military-grade stainless steel cases and feature 300m water resistance. These watches are specifically designed for law enforcement, marine, surface, and airborne applications, exceeding U.S. MIL-W-46374F Type 6 specifications. Valued for their durability and performance, they are regularly ordered in bulk by contractors.

Design and Upgrades

Origins

Inspired by mid-1990s designs, the P656 incorporates significant modern upgrades to meet contemporary demands.

Enhancements

  • Crystal: Shatter-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating.
  • Water Resistance: Upgraded from 30m (1990s models) to 300m (1000 ft).
  • Magnetic Resistance: 18.8 Oe for improved durability.
  • Shock Resistance: Complies with NIHS 91-10 standards for military-grade performance.

Key Features

  • Movement: NH35A with 24 jewels, operating at 21,600 vibrations per hour with a 41-hour power reserve.
  • Shock Resistance: Equipped with a Diashock absorber for enhanced durability.
  • Water Resistance: 30 ATM (300m / 1000 ft), suitable for land and marine use.
  • Altitude Accuracy: Precision maintained up to 12,000m (40,000 ft) without compensatory pressurization.
  • Hacking Movement: For accurate time-setting synchronization.
  • Tritium Symbol: Features a radioactive tritium symbol, compliant with U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission regulations (10 CFR 30.15).

Dimensions

  • Case Material: Military-grade stainless steel.
  • Diameter (Excluding Crown): 42mm.
  • Diameter (Including Crown): 44mm.
  • Lug-to-Lug: 49mm.
  • Thickness: 14mm.
  • Crystal Diameter: 32mm.
  • Strap Width: 22mm US-pattern military webbing strap.
  • Water Resistance: 300m.
  • Crystal: Scratch-resistant sapphire with anti-reflective coating.
  • Warranty: 24 months.

Additional Features

  • Screw-down locking crown and caseback for maximum durability.
  • High-visibility numerals on the bezel for ease of use.
  • Optimized dial for readability in low light.
  • Swiss Tritium GTLS for superior illumination compared to luminous paint.

Dual Time Zone Tracking

Effortless Adjustment

The P656 replaces the traditional diving bezel with a 12-hour bezel, simplifying time zone tracking:

  • Offset the bezel by the required hours to track a second time zone.
  • Example: In Paris, align "9 o'clock" on the bezel with the 3-hour marker to track Miami (6 hours behind).

This feature maintains the watch’s 300m water resistance and classic diver aesthetics while enhancing versatility.

Benefits of Sapphire Crystal

Synthetic sapphire is an industry-leading material for watch crystals, offering unmatched durability and clarity:

  • Reliability: Ideal for military personnel, law enforcement, and outdoor enthusiasts.
  • Enhanced Strength: Heat-treated sapphire provides superior resistance compared to plexiglass or mineral glass.
  • Anti-Reflective Coating: Ensures optimal visibility in all conditions.

The History of MIL-W-46374-G Watches and the P656

The P656 series traces its heritage to the MIL-W-46374F military specification, first issued on October 14, 1991. Further refinements to the specification during the mid-1990s resulted in the Stocker & Yale P650 Navigator, a highly regarded military timepiece developed for demanding operational use. The P656 carries forward many of the principles that made the original P650 such a successful and enduring design, as illustrated in the final image.

    World War II - The Final Months
    Format: Hardcover
    The book takes you through the final months of World War II, focusing on eight key moments when the fighting finally came to an end. It’s not just a dry rundown of facts or battle maps — the authors do a great job of bringing the people involved to life, from famous leaders to everyday soldiers and civilians caught in the chaos. What I really liked was how the story moves around the globe, covering Europe, the Pacific, and beyond. It keeps the narrative fresh and exciting, giving a real sense of how the war unfolded on many fronts at once. Sometimes I had to pay close attention to keep up with all the locations and characters, but that only added to the feeling of being caught up in a fast-moving, gripping story rather than a history lesson. What stood out most was how it made me feel the human side of history—the fear, the relief, and the confusion as the war finally ended. It’s full of details, but it never felt boring or too technical.

    The Fix
    Format: Hardcover
    An insightful and interesting book on how our country's first legislators try to make sense of the new and fairly short U.S. Constitution, which, being drafted by humans, was bound to be imperfect. A lack of clarity on some point might be due to the changeable nature of words themselves or to confusion or obscurity of thought by the authors. And, who were the authors? The men in the room who came up with the product or the various state conventions that approved the final product? Professor Gienapp writes well and with a fine grasp of his subject. He uses concrete examples to illustrate his main points. For example, Congressional debates over the constitutionality of a proposed federal bank, the ratification of Jay's Treaty, and even whether the Bill of Rights was to be incorporated into or simply added to the original document. Most people think of U.S. constitutional history in terms of its drafting and ratification and/or its later judicial interpretation by the Supreme Court. Here, Professor Gienapp focuses on the initial work of interpretation by the first few sessions of Congress. This book is essential reading for those interested in the U.S. Constitution and the internal architecture of our government. I think those who spend countless hours viewing frenetic talking heads say this or that about the constitutionality of some issue or another (or the nomination of a justice to the High Court) should throw their television set out the window and, instead, settle into a corner chair and calmly read this and other such thoughtful books. This one should win prizes.

    Excellent Book
    Format: Hardcover
    Stanford University History Professor Gienapp has done an outstanding job of researching and writing this historical analysis of the interpretation of the American Constitution by America's first Congress. Professor Gienapp analyzes data primarily from Congress's problems interpreting the removable of executive officers, chartering a national bank and approval of the 1794 Treaty with Great Britain negotiated by Chief Justice John Jay, the "Jay Treaty." Gienapp shows in clear writing how Congress used records of the debates at the Constitutional Convention and State Ratification Conventions to resolve these constitutional issues. I highly recommend this book to anyone concerned with the interpretation of the American Constitution.
