Key features and benefits of the Swiss Military Hanowa SMWGL0002104

• 41mm stainless steel case: The case measures 41 millimeters across and is made from solid stainless steel. This size fits most wrists comfortably and resists corrosion and daily knocks.
• Screw-down crown: The crown threads into the case tube to create a watertight seal. It prevents moisture entry when the watch is submerged and protects the movement from dust.
• 10 ATM water resistance: The watch withstands pressures equivalent to 100 meters depth. You can wear it for swimming, snorkeling and surface water sports without worry.
• Flat sapphire crystal: The crystal is synthetic sapphire, which is highly scratch-resistant. It keeps the dial clear and legible through years of everyday use.
• Silver dial: The dial features a clean silver finish with applied indices and hands. The neutral tone matches the case and bracelet for a cohesive, professional look.
• Stainless steel bracelet: The integrated metal bracelet is made from the same grade of stainless steel as the case. It offers durability, a secure fit and a polished appearance that does not fade.
• Automatic self-winding movement: The Soprod P024 calibre winds itself via a rotor that swings with wrist motion. It eliminates the need for daily manual winding and provides a 38-hour power reserve when fully wound.
• Swiss-made Soprod P024 calibre: The movement is manufactured in Switzerland to high precision standards. It delivers reliable timekeeping and is serviceable by any qualified watchmaker.
• 2-year international warranty: The manufacturer backs the watch with a two-year warranty valid worldwide. It covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.
• Folding clasp with safety catch: The bracelet closes with a deployant clasp that locks securely. The safety catch prevents accidental opening if the clasp is bumped.

Men's watch specifications

Using and caring for the Swiss Military Hanowa SMWGL0002104

Keep the crown fully screwed down before any water exposure to maintain the 10 ATM seal. If the watch stops after being off the wrist for two days, wind it manually by turning the crown clockwise 20-30 times. Rinse the bracelet with fresh water after saltwater or chlorinated pool use, then dry with a soft cloth. Avoid placing the watch near strong magnetic fields such as speakers or MRI machines, as they can affect the movement's accuracy. A professional service every three to five years will lubricate the movement and check gasket integrity.

• Screw crown down completely before swimming or showering.
• Wind manually if the watch has stopped after 40 hours off the wrist.
• Rinse with fresh water and dry after saltwater or pool exposure.
• Store away from magnets and extreme temperature changes.
• Schedule a movement service every 3-5 years with a qualified watchmaker.

How to choose the right men's watch

When selecting a men's watch, consider case size, movement type, water resistance and strap material. The Swiss Military Hanowa SMWGL0002104 offers a 41mm stainless steel case that fits most wrists, an automatic Swiss Soprod P024 movement for battery-free operation, 10 ATM water resistance for swimming, and a matching stainless steel bracelet for durability. If you prioritize a smaller case, quartz accuracy, higher water resistance for diving, or a leather or rubber strap, other models may suit better.
