Dirty Dozen-Inspired Military Hybrid Watch

This modern interpretation draws inspiration from the iconic "Dirty Dozen" military watches issued during the 1940s and 1950s. Combining historical military aesthetics with modern hybrid technology, it delivers the best of both worlds—a smooth sweeping second hand and ultra-low maintenance performance.


Hybrid Movement Technology

This watch features a mechanical/quartz hybrid movement. Powered by a battery and regulated by a quartz crystal, it drives the hands mechanically through electromagnetic coils—mimicking the sweep of a traditional automatic watch but without the need for winding or regular servicing.

  • Combines mechanical movement feel with quartz reliability
  • No mainspring—just smooth, battery-driven precision
  • Subsidiary seconds dial with a true sweep motion

Design and Features

  • Case: Heavy-duty Military Grade 316L stainless steel, satin finish
  • Dial: Matte black with luminous hands and hour markers
  • Subdial: Small seconds at 6 o'clock
  • Strap: 18mm historically accurate canvas strap (1940s–50s style)
  • Hacking Function: Yes, for accurate time setting
  • Water Resistance: 5 ATM (50 meters)
  • Glass: Domed plexiglass / Perspex crystal

Unique 24-Hour Subdial

At the 6 o'clock position, this pointer-style 24-hour subdial acts primarily as a day/night indicator. It mirrors the main hour hand in a 24-hour format.

  • Not an independent GMT or second time zone
  • Cannot be set separately—linked to main hour hand

To Set the 24-Hour Subdial:

  • Pull out the crown to the time-setting position (one click).
  • Rotate the hands until the correct 24-hour time is shown.
  • Push the crown back in to finish.

Historical Context

The final image shows the original 12 "Dirty Dozen" watches produced by legendary military contractors: Buren, Cyma, Eterna, Grana, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Lemania, Longines, IWC, Omega, Record, Timor, and Vertex.

Although MWC was founded in 1974 and not among the original manufacturers, this model captures the heritage, purpose, and utilitarian charm of those classic timepieces—reimagined for the modern era.

Very good cleaning oil
This cleansing oil is ideal for sensitive skin, I suffer from rosacea and I had no problem using it, neither dryness nor redness, the skin is hydrated, soft and very clean even when you remove the makeup, remove all the rest of it. I recommend it.

This product needs better instructions for people that don't know what a deep oil cleanser is!!
I am new to oil cleansers/double cleansing. I purchased this with the toner pads and serum thinking i was doing something. I ended up with staph on my chin and jaw, bc NOWHERE on here nor the bottle does it say this is only meant to be used ONCE A DAY, and washed off with a gentle cleanser afterwards. ALL instructions say rinse with water and then use the other items in the line. I damaged my skin barrier and wanted to hide away for over a month. HOWEVER, now that I have gone to the lengths of figuring out what happened and educating myself and using this product the correct way for a few days, I am seeing slight improvement already. Just make sure you know how to use a deep oil cleanser when buying this bc i didnt!!

Nice starter skin care set that refined pores for a smoother and brighter complexion
This cleansing oil was purchased and arrived as a 3pc set that I have purchased. Along with this cleansing oil, it also came with the toner and closer pore reducing serum. I have been incorporating all three products into my daily skin care routine/regimen. So cleanse, tone, then moisturized. This cleanser is very gentle, and it leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed after cleansing, to prepped it before I apply the toner and follow up with the Closer pore reducing serum as the last step. Overall, I really like this set. The Close serum has a thicker consistency than my other serum, but it applies well and also seem to absorbed fairly quickly, so it doesn't leave my skin/face feeling sticky.
