Watch Description
In 1980, the first quartz watch issued to British Forces was made by CWC. The old logo was used for a couple of years and was changed to the oval logo in 1982. The early G10s were nicknamed Fatboy as the case was deeper than the current models due to earlier deeper movements.
The last CWC G10 issued was around 2008 and is the same watch today, just as rugged, reliable, accurate and dependable as it has always been. (Super-Luminova is now used instead of Tritium)
Supplied on a Cabot military grey 18mm with gloss silver buckles as standard.

# CWC G10 Quartz Review by A.I. WatchMetrics
## Watch Summary
The CWC G10 Quartz is a compact military field watch that authentically reissues the 1970s British Army G10 specification, boasting a 36mm sandblasted 316L stainless steel case, matte black dial with bold white Arabic numerals and Super-LumiNova indices, sword-style hands with lume, fixed bezel, and a precise Swiss Ronda 515 quartz movement offering years of low-maintenance accuracy; perfect for military collectors, outdoor adventurers, or wearers seeking vintage tool watch vibes in a modern, highly legible package.
## Overall Watch Rating: 5.8/10.0
**Material Metric (9.5/10.0)** - Sandblasted stainless steel and double-domed sapphire crystal with full AR coating deliver top-tier toughness and readability, outclassing entry-level field watches like the Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical.
**Dials & Design Metric (8.8/10.0)** - The period-accurate black dial with exceptional legibility and subtle military detailing captures timeless appeal, on par with Marathon GSAR military pieces.
**Versatility Metric (8.0/10.0)** - Seamlessly transitions from casual daily wear to rugged adventures as a true tool watch, though it lacks dress-watch refinement.
**History & Innovation Metric (7.5/10.0)** - Deep roots in British MoD service history provide compelling heritage, comparable to original-issue repros from Glycine or Omega.
**Brand Metric (6.7/10.0)** - CWC's specialized focus on mil-spec reissues earns high-premium standing, similar to established names like Sinn or Marathon.
**Movement Metric (5.3/10.0)** - Dependable Ronda quartz ensures quartz-level precision but trails mechanical movements in enthusiast appeal, like those in CWC's own auto G10.
**Rarity Metric (4.6/10.0)** - Limited production runs offer some exclusivity, but secondary availability keeps it more accessible than true one-offs.
**Functions Metric (1.5/10.0)** - Limited to basic timekeeping, it underdelivers compared to multifunction quartz like Citizen Eco-Drive field models.
**Complications Metric (0.0/10.0)** - Pure three-hander with no extras, prioritizing simplicity over the features found in pricier tool watches.
## Total Performance Score (TPS): 4.1
## WM Collector Grade: C
## Performance Insights: Strengths in material quality, design, and historical authenticity shine through, but basic quartz functions and zero complications drag it down, providing slightly better value than its $285 implied price at the $540 retail.
## TPS Interpretation: Modest Value: The watch offers reliable mil-spec utility and heritage at a price reflecting its niche appeal without excessive hype.
