SKU Code: CHR20/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.

    Holy S*** this bra is amazing.
    Color: Black, Size: 42G
    I’m sure you are coming here reading reviews thinking “I don’t know. No bra has ever fit me right before. How will I know this bra is any different?” And let me be the first to tell you I was right there with you. I have been bra shopping for what feels like forever. For context I am a G cup and finding bras that fit nice seems like something I’d only find in my dreams. I have gotten bras from Torrid, Victoria Secret, Lane Bryant, Kohls, Walmart, you get the idea. Yes I know there are plenty of other sites but I don’t want to spend $80+ for a bra! Between them either hurting like hell from the wire, feeling like I was wearing a corset that was made for a door, or having absolutely no support/coverage, I contemplated just wearing no bra at all. I had such “luck” that I thought “maybe if I wear a sports bra all the time these problems would go away.” You guessed it! They in fact did not. I even tried no underwire and sure the wire pain was gone but good ol back pain came in at full swing. I would have constant issues with spillage and not feeling supported (and DONT even get me started on the uniboob)that I began to think I was the problem. Fortunately, a couple of days ago, I had discovered HSIA. I can’t stress enough to you how wonderful this bra is. It’s not only supportive but it’s also comfortable, breathable, and full coverage. And a added bonus: IT LOOKS AMAZING. This bra has changed my depressive outlook on bras to the most positive outlook. So much so I’m wearing this bra FOR FUN. 10/10 would recommend. It fits true to size. Straps are comfortable, no pinching. Under wire is very comfortable and does not dig into my rib cage. There is no padding, but still feels/looks great. Some shirts you can see the lace material but they have another bra that is smooth (I bought that one too) that fits just as great. I personally did not experience any itching like some other people were saying but I’d say just give it a try. If you made it this far reading this just buy it and see for yourself :)

    Delicate and pretty but does the job
    Color: Light Coral, Size: 40DDD
    This is a new brand of bra for me and I got it because it was recommended. Today I'm wearing it and have a few thoughts: 1) The straps are comfortable. In fact, the whole thing is comfortable. It doesn't look like it would be comfortable at all, but it's pretty nice. 2) I'm not so sure about the sturdiness. When putting this on this morning, the mesh actually ripped a little bit as I was positioning it around my torso after buckling the back together. This is how I put bras on: Turn it upside down and have the snaps facing the front, snap the snaps, then rotate it around your torso until it's positioned correctly, then flip it rightside up over your breasts. Is there some other way? I'm super afraid of ripping the delicate material now. 3) Despite how delicate the material is, it does have some give once on and holds my breasts well. 4) The fit is good. I'm normally a 40DDD. If I go up a cup size, then the underwire digs into my skin, so I want to avoid that. These seem a bit snug so as I wear it today, I'm going to watch for "spillage" where breasts start bunching up at the top. I know, that sounds so gross, but larger breasted ladies know what I mean! To answer some questions: Yes, it has adjustable straps. Are there bras that don't have adjustable straps that aren't sports bras? Yes, it is machine washable, though this is one of the first bras where I think I might actually need to use a delicates bag because the lace is just so delicate. It's very pretty, holds well, minimizes well, is pretty comfortable, but just a lot more delicate than I'm used to.

    Great affordable bra
    Color: Balsam Blue, Size: 38I
    Best bra I have purchased! I wear a 38 I and this is without a doubt the comfiest bra I own. No side boob or uniboob! The fit is perfect and there is no spillage on the tops or sides and I'm not having to constantly adjust myself. I didn't think it was possible to find cute, supportive bra for under $40 but here we are. They also have great support for when I'm at the gym. I do tend to still put a looser fitting sports bra over the HSIA bra when I'm working out for my own comfort, but it's not really necessary and I would most likely be fine during my workout without the extra layer.

    Cute but could be better
    Color: Dark Pink, Size: 38DD
    This bra definitely looks really good and has a sexy style to it. It does a decent job overall, especially for the price, but after trying two different bras from the same brand, I honestly liked the more expensive one much better. The lace on this one is pretty, but it shows through thin shirts and tighter materials. The underwire also started digging into my skin after wearing it for a bit, and the lace caused some irritation. The fit wasn’t bad, but the pricier version was noticeably more comfortable and fit better overall. For $16, this bra is still decent and looks nice, but if you’re deciding between the two, I’d recommend spending a little extra money on the more expensive one for the added comfort and better fit.

    Best bra ever 💯
    Color: Dark Pink, Size: 38DDD
    I have seen these bras hyped everywhere especially tiktok, so I was expecting to be somewhat disappointed. Instead i am shocked by how much I love it and am immediately looking to buy more of them!! This is the most comfortable bra I have ever worn. I am a 38DDD, and it actually does appear to minimize and lift my chest in shirts while being so much more comfortable than any other bra. My back pain is gone???? Its affordable??? 100000000/10. Buy it 😭😭
