We’ve been big fans of Military Watch Co. (MWC) for a while, but after this watch it borders on obsession. The watches designed by MWC are all fantastic, but the primary reason we really love this one is because it bears a striking resemblance to a Rolex. In our opinion, getting a 46mm 21 jewel automatic watch with at least 200m of water resistance on a 20mm NATO strap for just shy of $300 is a much better deal than wearing a crown on your wrist. Oh yeah, and it’s also available in a blacked out PVD edition for the same exact price.
