CWC G10 watches were issued in a series of variants, from 1980 to 2006. 

In 1989 there was one contract for CWC G10s, of around 24000 watches, which was the largest G10 contract and the highest number of G10s during any single issue year. These were procured under a Royal Navy contract, with the watches marked with the 0552 service code, but due to the large number of watches purchased they were widely distributed and issued to personnel in all services.

The G10 is a classic of the military watch genre, and a popular choice with collectors, combining affordability, reliability, accuracy, ease of maintenance and, of course, they look great!

The watch is in excellent condition, as described in the condition report. It has also been recently been serviced and is supplied on a new black ribbed NATO strap.

The watch is in excellent condition - the case and back are very clean and with some minor marks from use/storage - overall in excellent condition. The case back has the correct markings including the 0552 Royal Navy service code, NATO stock number, serial number and issue year. The crystal is the original in unmarked condition, with matte tension ring. The dial and hands are in mint condition. Please refer to the images to make your own judgement about the cosmetic condition of the watch. The images form an important part of the description.

The watch was subject to a full stripdown, clean and service in October 2025. The case parts were stripped and ultrasonically cleaned and the original ETA 955.114 movement was serviced. 

The movement was fully stripped, mechanically and ultrasonically cleaned using waterless solutions and hot air dried. The movement was rebuilt and lubricated using Moebius oils. Images of the movement rebuild are included in the listing. The watch hacks and sets from the crown correctly. All the seals were also replaced and greased, including the back gasket, the battery hatch and crown gaskets.

The watch is absolutely suitable for everyday use, but it is vintage watch so is not recommended for sports or use in extreme conditions. The watch has not been pressure tested so water resistance is not guaranteed. This watch is covered by our waterproof 6 month guarantee.
