In 1980, the first quartz watch issued to the British Forces was made by CWC. The old logo was used for a couple of years and was changed to the oval logo in 1982. The early G10s were nicknamed the Fatboy as the case was deeper than the current models due to earlier deeper movements. The G10 is still as rugged, reliable, accurate and dependable as it has always been.
