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 product. Does great work.
    I’ve only had it for one day but have used it on my whole house already, laminate and tile. I LOVE it with all my heart. ❤️ i know my floors are actually getting cleaned and not just wet. It makes mopping so easy. It’s my first steam mop and I went on the less expensive side because it’s kind of a trial run. It produces just the right amount of steam. The pads are simple Velcro peel and stick. The unit is slim, lightweight. I like the corded because I don’t have to fool with the battery going out mid clean. It twists and turns as needed and goes under things. Feels sturdy and quality. I used just water and they look great. I also tried a demineralized water product (different brand) with eucalyptus scent. That stuff left film on my laminate but can’t see any residue on the tile. I’ll probably use what left on tile only so it doesn’t go to waste but after that I’m using water only. I went over the laminate later with just water and now it’s fine. Heats up and ready for use in just 18 seconds to 260F. Best cleaning product I ever bought. Btw the handle is supposed to click in permanently. Mine didn’t. I can pull it out. But I’ve done the whole house and was never an issue so no bother. If I have any issues I’ll update this post.

    Steam Mop
    I recently purchased this steam mop and have been very impressed with its performance. It heats up quickly and does an excellent job cleaning my floors without the need for harsh chemicals. The steam easily removes dirt, grime, and sticky spots, leaving my floors looking clean and refreshed. The mop is lightweight and easy to maneuver around furniture and tight spaces. I also appreciate that the water tank is simple to fill and provides enough steam for cleaning multiple rooms before needing a refill. One of my favorite features is how quickly the floors dry after mopping. It saves time and makes cleaning much more convenient. Overall, this steam mop is a great value for the price and has made keeping my home clean much easier. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an effective and easy-to-use floor cleaning solution.

    Great steam mop!
    This is a nice steam mop. Setup was quick and straightforward, and it was ready to use within minutes. The steam heats up fast and does an excellent job cleaning without the need for harsh chemicals. The biggest thing I noticed was how clean my floors looked afterward. It removed dirt, dried spills, and everyday grime with very little effort. My tile floors were left looking spotless and felt squeaky clean underfoot. The steam also helped lift residue that my regular mop would often leave behind. I have pets and kids, so I appreciate being able to deep clean using steam instead of relying on strong cleaning products. The handheld attachment is useful for tackling smaller jobs around the house, including bathroom surfaces and other hard-to-reach areas. The mop is lightweight, easy to maneuver, and the accessories add a lot of versatility. For anyone looking for an effective steam cleaner that leaves floors looking fresh, clean, and streak-free, this is a great option. I’m very happy with the results and would recommend it.

    Incredible little steam mop!
    The Steam mop was easily put together by my 12 year old daughter. I put distilled water in it and turned it on, and within seconds, it was ready to use. I was very impressed how the steam mop cleaned my ceramic tiles in the kitchen. It left the tiles streak free and shiny. I haven't tried the tile accessory tool but I'm sure it won't disappoint. Finally, I used it on my LVP and it was fantastic! The steam mop was incredibly easy to use and it cleaned the LVP without leaving any residue or streaks. Overall this steam mop was inexpensive and performed better than expected. Buy it !
