CWC also made a quartz battery version of the W10 in the 1980s and named it the G10.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe have here a classic W10 military watch that is rapidly becoming very desirable.  The tonneau-shaped, stainless steel case back is engraved 'W10-6645-99, 523-8290, 956\/77' and also with the Broad Arrow.  It has fixed lugs, as with all military watches, and houses a manual wind cal.
