MKIII Automatic – 1950s NATO Spec Recreation

The MKIII Automatic is a modern recreation of the iconic 1950s NATO specification watch, originally issued under UK Ministry of Defence reference 6B/346 Mk XI.

• A reliable 21-jewel Miyota automatic movement (21,600 bph, 40-hour power reserve)
• Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating – shatter and scratch resistant
• A robust brushed stainless steel case, hand-finished in Zurich

This makes the MKIII ideal for military personnel, police officers, security professionals, and outdoor adventurers who demand both authenticity and modern reliability.

Why Choose Sapphire Crystal?

Many ask: What’s the advantage of sapphire over mineral crystal?

• Superior Durability – Highly resistant to scratches and shattering
• Clarity – Dual anti-reflective coating reduces glare in all conditions
• Trusted Technology – The same sapphire material is used in high-end watches and even the latest iPhones

For professionals in military, law enforcement, and outdoor fields, sapphire is the ultimate choice. While it raises production costs, it ensures your watch remains clear, tough, and reliable for years to come.
