MWC G10EL General Service Watch with Electroluminescent (EL) Backlit Dial

SKU: G10EL/SD/SS

G10EL – Electroluminescent Field Watch

The G10EL takes the classic G10/General Service pattern field watch and adds a game-changing upgrade: an integrated electroluminescent (EL) backlit dial. Press the button on the case and the entire dial glows evenly, making the watch instantly readable in pitch darkness—no lume “charging” required.

Instead of relying solely on luminous paint, the G10EL features a thin electroluminescent panel integrated into the dial. When activated, it produces a uniform glow across the entire surface, ensuring the numerals and markers remain clearly visible in low light or total darkness.

For maximum usability, the watch also incorporates Luminova on the hands and dial. This combination of electroluminescence and luminous paint guarantees that the G10EL remains effortlessly readable in any lighting conditions.

Built for practicality and reliability, the G10EL combines proven Seiko quartz movement with robust stainless steel construction and a water-resistant design.
