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.

Excellent watch

Just received my G10 Thurs 29th. Ordered late evening on 27th with help from Rachel. Was despatched DHL with updates on tracking.
I must say this has already impressed me light as a feather fits my small wrists really well and as my wife said could pass for a dress watch as well as tool watch.
I just need to shorten the strap as there is some excess on my comfortable fitting.

I wanted a field watch, something a little smaller than my daily driver dive watch that could be subtle but also utilitarian. I've looked at other makes such as Marathon GPQ but they are too small I think, I also wanted fixed strap bars too. I've had a bite MX10 and love them but don't look great with a NATO due to the notches in the case.
So in summary excellent communication, despatch and of course the watch is fantastic, heres hoping it lasts me years as I'm sure it will.

Old faithful.

This is my watch issued to me in 1982,it’s seen service all over the world and has never let me down. It’s had a couple of screens which had cracked or gone cloudy due to desert sands and obviously batteries. So that’s been 42 years of hard but good service,I am now retired and nearly 70 but watch like my tattoos is a permanent fixture.

My Favorite Field Watch

I work on the border in Texas, so I was pleasantly surprised when I received this piece calibrated for my timezone. The smaller diameter looks fantastic on my (admittedly smaller) wrists. I’ve spent a great deal on higher end watches and I find that I enjoy wearing this piece more than any of the others. I could list out plenty of positives, but honestly what you see here is what you get and I’m a big fan of this piece.
Some minor gripes/things to be aware of (not significant enough to take away any ⭐️s):
- this bad boy collects scratches. The benefit of acrylic glass is the shatter resistance (necessary for a military tool watch), the drawback is the scratches it collects. I believe the scratches give it character - but I have polywatch for it regardless.
- Really low water resistance specs. I’m not real big on taking any plunges, nor am I a horologist - so I don’t know why exactly these guys aren’t very robust when it comes to the water, but it’s certainly something to be aware of.

All in all, really great piece. Probably my personal favorite. Very professionally made.
Good stuff, CWC.

Iconic watch. Great service.

I wanted to surprise my partner by presenting him with one of these iconic watches for his special birthday. I bought the G22 which in my opinion was superb. However, I overheard him chatting to a friend saying how much he'd value a G10 having had one in his military career. His words were "if you know, you know". I rang CWC and found the team extremely helpful. Between us, we arranged the return of the G22, and the G10 arrived in time for his birthday. I can't fault this company. And he is thrilled with his watch. Highly recommended without hesitation.

G10 Watch

I am delighted with the G10 Watch. The face is easy to read and the watch is very light. Delivery was exceptionally efficient too.
