NMK950 W10 Pilot Tonneau Case: Steel Finish
The Tonneau or barrel-shaped W10 military watch has a distinct and storied history. The W10 specification was part of a series of military watch specifications that were used by the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) from the mid-20th century. The W10 specification, in particular, was introduced in the 1970s and became a defining style for military-issued timepieces.

Customer Reviews
Honestly really like the case and quality. Only downside I have is I'm pretty sure the case lugs are a "custom" fit for SELs, doesn't come with caseback for $170, and they couldn't add a cyclops. Other than that, decent. I added my own cyclops.
With 10 being a genuine alpinist, I'd say it's sitting at a 7-8.
Makes a great watch!
A case without caseback? First time I had such Thing... More Like 2/3 Case in my opinion. Case is also more like 12mm high, even with a slim caseback. The alpinist dial has non removable imperfections/dirt/glue on the indizies. Hands and the part of Case you get are well made though.
Excellent finishing, with a very good polish across the case. The installation is simple and works well with the screws in the back. My only gripe would be I feel it should have had drilled lugs for easier strap changes and an even more tooltastic feel.
For more if you would like to check out my Instagram @allthetimemods I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
I’ve been very hopeful for a long time that Namoki would make an Alpinist style case - and it doesn’t disappoint. Still to do the build but the compass action is great, and everything feels very premium as usual.
