A lot of people email us and ask the question"who currently supplies the UK military?" You will see from these downloads that the suppliers over the last 10 years have consistently been Citizen, Pulsar and Seiko although we were reliably informed in 2023 that the current G10 supplier is MWC who provide the British Army with a G10 100m / 330ft ft Water resistant watch carrying NATO Stock Number: NSN 6645-99-472-3228 this watch with sapphire crystal and 10 year battery life is clearly vastly superior and more robust than the Pulsar/Seiko PXD433 which was the previous issue. Sources in the British military confirm the MoD still has some of these Pulsar watches last dated 2016 and even a few CWC's which were last purchased in 2006 but based on reliable sources in the British military the number of MWC watches with product code G10/100UKG and the NATO stock number above is quite large so it would seem the 10 year battery life could have been a factor in them securing the contract for the watch that can be seen here https://mwcwatches.com/products/mwc-g10-100m-1000ft-water-resistant-stainless-steel-military-watch-with-sapphire-crystal?_pos=1&_sid=d2c85a12e&_ss=r as far as the watches for the Royal Navy and and the RAF we assume the suppliers are still Citizen, Pulsar and Seiko but two MWC dive watches are codified with NSN numbers, unfortunately we do not find that MWC are particularly forthcoming as to which contracts they hold but independent sources have reliably confirmed that they are providing the G10 to the UK military.
The MoD we are aware secured quite large number of the Pulsar YM92 X170 for issue to RAF aircrew over an extended period and this watch has been issued for 15 years so it's clear this model has worked well for the MoD in the role in which it's employed hence it seems likely it will remain in service for the foreseeable future.
