TESTIMONIALS

Great watches by the way, I wear my Titanium Blackhawk on a daily basis plus through one tour in Afghanistan and every jump I've made to date. It has held up wonderfully! Aside from a couple scratches it looks almost new. Also, saying a charge is good for two months is being really nice. I charged mine once before a six-month trip, once while on the trip, then right before I came back and never had any problems, used the light at least once a day!
... Justin Nikodem

Thank you for providing such great customer service. I needed to send in my watch for repairs, your team member called me within 48 hours and confirmed my details and explained to me how I can send the watch in for repair. I have now received the watch and your team has repaired everything and the watch looks brand new. Thank You MTM for the great after sales service.
Keep up the good work and quality and I will be coming back for a new watch as long as you produce them.
...Shenan Goonewardene


Just want to thank you guys for such a fantastic product. I purchased a predator off you guys nearly two years ago. I have been away on operations and have found the watch to be the best piece of kit I have had the pleasure to own. It is strong, sturdy corrosion resistant and the strap didn't rot from prolong wearing and not being able to clean lol, unlike other watches I have had in the past where the strap has rotted through just after a few weeks in the humidity.
I thank you again for such a fantastic product.

I've been a watch collector for many years now. I tend to steer towards heavier/tough watches. I've worn out my fair share of "tough watches" during training exercises and daily work. My company provides tactical training and consulting for Law Enforcement, Military, and Business Professionals. I've owned your "Black Patriot" watch for several years now and it is built like a tank! I constantly get comments on the watch and I always send them your way. This is by far the best watch I've owned. I plan on purchasing other models in the future.

I purchased a silver warrior about a year ago AAA+++ fantastic watch. I would be intersted in another the silver stryker but I want a metal band either stainless ot titanium can you do this? Thanks
... Ray Harp


Couple years ago I purchase a Thunder Hawk Stainless Steel Band from you guys (greate piece of machinery). Two months ago I was involved in a car accident and luckely the watch absorved part of the impact and I did not lose my left hand. But the steel band got scrached very deep. I'm looking for a steel band to replace mine. Do you guys sell them? Let me know. Thanks
... Luis A. Ortiz


I've been a proud owner of the Black Patriot for about 2 years now. I've owned several more expensive brand watches Omega, Hamilton, etc. This watch is the highest quality watch I have owned. Coming from someone who pays strict attention to detail, that is saying a lot! Not to mention, the watch is built like a tank. Which is important in my line of work and play. Im a Missouri State Trooper and an avid Scuba Diver. The watch never leaves my wrist.Recently, the minute hand on the chronograph began reseting at 3 minutes before the zero mark. This, was obviously a problem. I contacted the company. The associate was friendly and helpful. I mailed the watch in and within less than 2 weeks, I had my watch fixed and returned to me. Execellent product & excellent service!! That's hard to find anywhere these days.

I have purchased a Black Hawk directly from your company about 3 years ago and just wanted to let you guys know that I love my watch, but better than that, I have had a couple issues through the years... like bands and screws and your service is second to none. If I call with a small problem, within just a few days, you all have the parts needed delivered to my door. I just wanted to say thanks and pass on some good feedback. I think your products are great and better than that your service is incredible. Again thanks for everything. Oh, and by the way your watch is the only thing I have ever owned to withstand the beating I receive in an Abrams tank. Much appreciated.

I purchased your special ops black hawk watch just over five years ago and absolutely love it. is it possible to buy the black steel band?
... Paul DeGeorge


I have a Predator that I received as a gift several years ago. While working on the roof, I got the watch band hung up on the ladder, breaking the band and sending the watch to the ground. If not for my clumsiness, it still would be 100%. Anyway, the band broke and the watch fell approx 15 ft. to the pavement. It only put two chips in the crystal at the 10 and 3 o'clock positions. Everything else is still amazingly working... I wear this watch every day and miss having it on my arm. It also takes a buttload of abuse and has never failed me once. Thanks for making such a wonderful watch.
... Michael Ferrado


I have over 40 watches with values up to $150,000 US. The titanium Blackhawk I just purchased from you is the best constructed watch in my collection. The band construction alone is almost beyond belief for a watch. I consider the watch to be very nearly perfect in it's current state.
... Robert Zachte


Outstanding watches. I was in a military course with a friend of mine from the Brazilian Marines Commando who owns a MTM watch. I saw the watch take a lot of punishment, and how the ligh was perfect at night, etc..
So I have two questions: 1) Do you take orders from overseas and ship? and 2) Do you make special offers for large purchase for my unit?
... Christian Hingst


I'm obsessive about the exact time. My MTM Spec Ops is the most accurate watch I've ever owned. It gains one second every five months. I dumped a Rolex because it was losing 15 seconds a week. I used to check with NIST weekly. Now I only do so every 6 months or so. it's the best watch I've ever owned. I'm going to give one to my nephew when he graduates artillery training later this year.
... Thomas Kennedy


You can add U.S. Marshals Service to the list of folks that wear your watches. We bought some Black Warrior a couple of years ago and we love it.
... Paul Joanos.


I have the Thunder Hawk Titanium that I purchased 5 years ago. I wear this watch every day and use it in my job as a Secret Service agent assigned to former Pres. Bush in Houston. As a Secret Service agent, this watch has come in so useful and has helped me in my duties so many times. It enhances my job! The warranty on my watch is now expired. do you have any type of extanded warranty program, just in case ?
...Thanks, Kevin.


I currently own an older Thunder Hawk about 5 years old, and I managed to break the pin that holds the metal band to the watch. Can I order just that piece from you or do I need to send the watch in to you for repairs?
That watch made it through Iraq with me, and I was wearing it when an EFP blew the back off of my M1114. You guys make a superior product, and thank you for that.
... Thanks, Mark.

I have almost every model of your watches and I can say that they are of the utmost quality and craftmanship, as you can see by my purchase history! I have a Vulture in all black and I like to get the silver one. My question is. when will you be getting it back in stock ?
... Brian J. Gedeon, M.D.


I am a proud owner of your now discontinued Seal Squad Divers Watch. It is by far the very best watch that I have ever had the privilige of owning and wearing. I have been accosted several times for wearing this watch. People will come up to me on the street and ask to see it. I have had this watch for just about two years now and it has stayed strong, my only concern is the battery. Once the ten years is up and the battery needs replacing, will your company still replace the battery even though the watch has been discontinued?
... SGT Thomas Anderson


I would like to thank MTM service department for your prompt, professional and courteous response to my request. My band is repaired and my watch is operational again. Thanks very much,
... John Raszcewski


Thanks! I bought my first mtm watch will on my second tour in Iraq. I am never without a watch, so I have been through my fair share. Daily life for me seems to destroy a watch easily, but my current mtm has handled absolutely everything with no problem. Even the metal band AND the pins that hold it on have been superb, I even ordered the rubber strap for a backup as I did not expect this one to last, but that was a waste, it has never been on the watch. In a few months before my next tour I will order a new one, different model, and I look forward to it. Thanks again, quality is sometimes hard to find.
... Ashel T Hartin


I bought a warrior(black) about 2 years ago from your site and can't be more pleased with it. Im looking into buying the Vulture in black with the rubber band and was wondering when exactly it will be out and the price tag its going to have? Thanks again.
... Dan Vacirca


I am currently deployed to Baghdad Iraq with the 64th CSAR and we are about ordering some watches. We ordered a lot from a different brands and most of our people are not happy with the product we have been ordering. I've heard good things about MTM and been told you back your product up and stand by them. I’m setting up an order. our supervision is requesting GSA products info. If at all possible would you please email me ? Thank you for your time.
... Gregory Arnold. USAF/64th EHMU/CSAR

I am really enjoying wearing your Vulture watch and would like to get another band as soon as humanly possible. I've had the Hawk for many years and having the Vulture with a date and those bright lights is something I do not want to go without for long! Thanks very much.
... John Hoving. A Vulture Man!

Hi I purchased a MTM thunder hawk with steel strap.........from you while i was on holiday in Florida in June 2005......this is the best watch I have ever had....I wear it whilst on duty in the police and get many comments from colleague....as a result quite a few of them have since purchased the thunder hawk watch....recently my charger has stopped working I have had to borrow my friends charger once a month for the last two months....I notice it states on adveristment that the watches are warranted for three years. is the charges also garantee for three years?
... Lee Parry


I purchased this watch and have to say it's the best watch I've ever owned!!! It was trust worthy during my deployment in Iraq and still is now on the streets of Chicago. Regards.
... J. Guerra


Wow! I just recieved my watch in 4 days since ordered. That was a cross border shipment to Toronto Canada, during the holiday season! Not to mention the quality of the watch far exceeded my expectations. I only had it for a week and recieved numerous compliments on the time piece. Thanks.
... Michael Di Girolamo


Talk about CUSTOMER SERVICE - HOLY XXXX! You are the BEST - make sure the Boss gets this email. If you have a testimonial page.
Point me to it.
... Timothy Turek


"We've all seen the full-page ads wit the cool looking watches that are supposedly the latest, greatest attire for the special operations community... I have to say that it's [Thunderhawk] probably one of the best watches I have ever owned... In my opinion, you may be able to buy a cheaper watch, but you wont find a better one."
... Jeff Randall in S.W.A.T. Magazine Jan. '09.

I have a patriot watch that i purchased in 2005, it is by far the best piece of gear i have ever owned.
... Chad Goodwin


I used your Black Patriot watch for 15 months in Iraq. Really enjoyed it. Frankly, I was very hard on it in my duties as a PSD shooter, de-mining and EOD, and just everyday wear and tear in a war zone. . It is the best watch I've ever owned!! Thanks
... MAJ Scott Allen


I was recently on a trip, and lost the charger for my blackhawk. Just wondering where do I send the money to get a new charger? Big thanks to the MTM crew, for having the best customer support I've ever seen.
... Epi Resendez

I recently purchased a Black Hawk and I am impressed by its beauty and functionality in addition to the service provided by MTM. The watch itself also draws some attention and many collegues, friends and patients asked me about its origin etc. No doubt a second purchase will follow.
Kind regards,
... Ronald M.A. Henry PhD MD


I just wanted to say thank you. I recently sent my watch in for repair. You provided very prompt service and fixed it for no cost. I got it back today and it looks great. This type of customer service sets you apart from most companies. Thanks again and I look forward for your next creation that I will not be able to live without.
... Dave Stull


I am very impressed with my Blackhawk Spec Ops Watch with the ballistic velcro band. It's very well-designed, versatile and very rugged. It is a well crafted timepiece that makes a statement in the boardroom and in the field. As an avid mountain biker and outdoorsman, it has been my first choice to take with me on my trips as I know it is a reliable watch which can withstand the elements and built tough. It has exceeded my expectations and I would gladly get another MTM Spec Ops Watch in the future. Thank you!
... Al Isago Parvez, CEO & Representative Director of Advance Inc. Tokyo, Japan

I currently own a Black Hawk, Thunder Hawk, and black Predator and plan to purchase more of your MTM watches. I also own many other popular name brand watches and I can say that my favorites are my MTM wathces. The build quality and appearance of your MTM watches are outstanding. They are dependable and accurate watches. When I order a watch (three so far) from MTM, delivery is extremely fast. When I have called MTM with order or technical questions, customer service has been excellent. You have taken the time to address any questions I have had in a professional and honest manner. This is a rare quality these days. I'm looking forward to my next MTM watch purchase from you.
... George Dalke


Just wanted to let you know that I received by Black Patriot and it is even better than I had hoped for. Even the packaging is outstanding and you can tell the quality of the watch just by holding it. Your customer service people were FANTASTIC as they needed to call me. (I wish I had written their name down) As a retired Toronto Police officer I wish I had this watch 30 years ago. First class all the way!!!
... Bruce Smollet


I recieved a Blackhawk watch for my birthday two years ago. While I'm no special forces operator, I can say that few watches can handle the abuse I give them maintaining the 5th fleet's aircraft. eventually the band itself has taken a beating. Could you provide me with information for new titanium band
...Very Respectfully AM2 Oliver Bernal


I had to write you and tell you about how your watch saved me from losing an arm. I am currently in Baghdad working for the State Department. We protect American Diplomats as they travel into the Red Zone. When I was getting ready to come over here, my wife surprised me with an MTM Blackhawk. At that time I was only marginally aware of your company; and thought(but didn't tell her) "Oh great another "tactical" company. Well needless to say I have grown pretty impressed with the watch. Anyway; about a week ago we were on venue outside the Karada Bank. As we were loading our principles a shot rang out and I felt a jolt in my left arm like an electric shock...very painful. As we punched out of there I kept reporting that I thought I was hit. My whole arm was in pain, except from the wrist down where I was numb. Well to make a long story short apparently I was shot in the watch! A team-mate told me he "saw my hand explode in a puff of smoke". While the watch was blown up apparently whatever it is you make them out of was so strong it took most of the shock, saving my arm. The only reason I am able to type this is because you make your watches truly "combat tough"..my family and I thank you
...G.H.

I'd like to comment on how much I love my new Black Hawk Titanium watch! I was a little wary buying it online, but once it arrived, I knew I would never return it. This is a very fine product and I will recommend it to all of my friends interested in watches. I am seriously contemplating buying another MTM watch, likely the Black Vulture or Black Seal. Please keep up the great work! Best Regards.

Good day,I purchased a MTM SPECIAL OPS WATCH about 2yrs ago and i am very pleased with it and i get plenty of complements from it and have reffered many people to your site.I have a minor gig though,I am working in Iraq and for the first time since i have had the watch like a nucklehead i plugged the charger into a 240v outlet without using my converter and fried the converter,now i have no way to charge it the watch what do i have to do to get another one.? thanks

I am writing to thank you for sending the Watertight Box that was part of the initial order of my Navigator watch. It holds the watch units in a very secure location. Also, the Navigator watch package is wonderful... The Transceiver locks on to the GPS tracking satellites very quickly and never loses a connection once it gets established. It provides very accurate information with regard to distance, altitude and bearing. And it beams this info without difficulty to the watch. The watch is comfortable, durable and very easy to view. I will look forward to many years of functional assistance and use with such a fine product. Best Regards,
... Christopher M. Mahoney MS, AA-C

Hello, I just very recently purchased a watch from you. I wanted to let you know,how much I love the watch,and the also the great way you do business. I couldn't be more happy. I do however have a question, how do I register for the warranty. I did not find any paper work.Thank you again for making such a Outstanding Watch.
On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the very Best ! I rate this Watch a 10 Plus ! Kindest Regards,
... Steve P. Hamilton

I just received my Seal Extreme Ops watch and it's everything and more than I expected. Thank you!

I just wanted to tell you that I LOVE your company and the watches you offer with the HIGHEST quality and comfort!!

Thanks again for offering such stylish, comfortable, and durable products!
...Brian J. Gedeon, M.D.


I ordered a blackhawk a few months ago, and I just wanted to say I love the watch. Everything you say about the watch is true. I hope to have this watch in service for many years to come !Bravo, on a dependable and great product.

Congratulations for your amazing and wonderful watches, I have one black Patriot (3 years) and works perfect. My question is what kind of battery used, and how long does it last. thanks a alot.
... Dr. Fernando Pacheco


Received my Silver Steel Patriot, Special Forces Spec Ops, and what a magnificant Watch. I already have a Black Patriot and a Titanium Predator, these are the most professional Military Watches I've ever seen. I wish I had these when I was in the Persian Gulf. Thank You MTM for supreme excellence and getting my watches to me very quickly.
... Sincerely, Gregory Snow


Hello, I have the Steel band MTM Black Hawk watch. I am extremely pleased with its durability and reliability. I have used the watch many times while out in the field. I would just like to compliment your company on building such an awesome watch!
... Stephen Earp


Hello... I am currently in Baghdad, Iraq. The net is not that secure here, and there have been problems in the past with our internet. I would like to send a money order instead of sending my credit card number across the net.... Would that be fine. Several of my guys on my team have your watches, and they are very durable in the conditions we work in. You guys are putting out a very good product, and it has caught my eyes, so I am interested in purchasing one. I was just curious...I know it takes approx. two weeks to get something from the states... Is that about the same amount of time it takes for your product to arrive in Iraq.... Thank Yo
... Philip L. Jackson, Baghdad, Iraq


I just received my Black Warrior with the Ballistic band as a gift recently. I work as a mechanic at the Maui airport and I work with chemicals, grease and wrench on all types of equipment. I have banged the watch several times on motors, stainless barriers and even greasy chains. I am truly amazed at how tough this watch really is! As long as I rinse the band not even the caustic chemicals have done any damage. I have been through several watches ranging from G-Shocks, Tissots, Tags and even a Submariner Rolex! This has got to be the most rugged watch produced as of yet. It's the first watch I don't have to worry about while on the job. And the bonus side is it's good looking too! Finally, a watch I can wear to work, wash up and go to a fine dining place without thinking twice! Thank you so much for making such a fine time piece!
... Best regards, Ron Cox


I own the Blackhawk rubber strap watch. I purchased it November 2005. The watch has served me well in the worst places on earth. Last year you sent me replacement rubber loops. No complaints though. I cant explain the hell that the watch has been through and still looks new except for wear to the strap. I have decided to retire after 25 years of Army active duty service. I no longer need the rubber strap. I want to purchase the titanium band for my watch. Please send instructions. Thank you,
... Lee Brewer, 1SG, USA


I want to express a big thankyou to MTM and all the team on what a wonderful job you have done. I purchase a watch from you guys and was missing a part, you promptly fixed the problem by sending the missing part. It it much appreciated to deal with a company that has excellent after sales service. Well done again.
... Silvya Traeger Adelaide, South Australia


I want to let you all know how impressed I am with my new Thunderhawk Ser. No. 063934. I have received so many compliments on this watch. Personally, I absolutely love the uniqueness and functionality of this watch. I have never spent over $125 on a watch, but I can say this, this watch was well worth it. You have a truely one of a kind timepiece and I am proud to wear mine 24/7. Thanks!
... Todd Brown


Just some positive comments to you all. You have absolutely AWESOME, high quality products! I own two of your watches already and I'm sure I'll be buying more in the future! You also have great customer service--a specail thanks to JACKIE for helping me with my orders!! Keep up the GREAT work. You have a devoted customer in me already.
... Brian J. Gedeon, M.D.


NO Question. Just wanted to let you know that I have had my Patriot for about a year now and I wear it EVERY day. I enjoy it and get comments on it regularly. When I came in to purchase it the salesman asked if I treated my watches nice... I said NO. I (unintentionally) beat this one against things all the time. It hasn't even been scratched. I may need to get me one of those Vultures soon. Keep up the good "horologywerks" boys.
... Jeff Daniel


I just recieved my Dark Ops Warrior watch today. Your customer service rep said it would be delivered on Tuesday and true to her word it was. I must say I'm impressed. The over all quality of the watch is superb and though some may say it is heavy, I can see no difference between the weight of this watch and other dive watches that I have worn. This is by far the finest watch I have ever owned and you have one satisified customer for life.
... PJ Clarke


I recieved my titanium thunderhawk for christmas, and WOW what a watch! I'd been drooling over this for over a year and now im wearing it. I must say that this watch is nothing less than perfect, the packaging, the customer service and the watch itself, words cant express how impressed i am with this watch. A question, do you sell a stainless steel band for this watch that would fit? If anyone in this site is reading this, this is the last watch you'll ever purchase, that is unless you buy another model from special ops watch. Thanks
... Dan Harrison


I bought my MTM Hawk watch about three years ago the serial No is 053297 it has been with me threw two tours to Bahrain and once to Iraq. It has never let me down I have had to change tow bands but for what I do that's not Bad. Anyways my lights stoped working a few days ago i have my limited warranty card but i dont have my invoice any more can I still send it in for repairs.
... Brandy Hastings


After receiving the Black Patriot Spec Ops and exceeding my expectations, I only wish I could have worn such a beautifully made professional Military Watch of this Caliber when I was Rescue and Recovery and Special Forces USAF SPEC OPS. Beautifully rugged, yet very refined and easy to read and even stealthy despite how large and heavy it is. I would have loved to have worn this when I was still in uniform serving my country. Thank You very much for such a professional and precision Military Masterpiece.
... Sincerely, Gregory Snow.


Just wanted to let you know I have enjoyed using my MTM Hawk watch for several years now. As a helicopter pilot it has been invaluable at night for reading charts and frequency cards. I have even had to use it to refuel when the was no other light available. It's bee a life saver. I hope in the future when you design more models you will keep the 660,000 US pilots in mind and design a pilot model. Perhaps one with zulu time or a E6b circular slide rule. You'll sell tons! Regards,
... Terry Madory

Dear MTM Staff,
It´s been almost two months since my Blackhawk arrived here in Brazil. My watch's serial number is 057849. As I told you in another e-mail I am a Corporal in the Brazilian Army stationed in the Amazon Jungje near the Colombian border and I am using the watch in some of the worst conditions created by the jungle environment (mud, humidity, heat, rain and others). I am happy to say that the Blackhawk endured all of them without any problem. Thank you again for this great timepiece and certainly I will buy another of your watch soon enough! Best regards,
...Cpl. Santiago Squad Leader - 2nd Squad 17th Jungle Infantry Batallion

I've just bought my first MTM watch, a steel band Blackhawk. It has lived up to all my expectations, and it will almost certainly not be the last watch I buy from you. Excellent workmanship and a good solid feel...I like the weight.
There is, however, one thing I would like to see. Some of us that uses these watches, me included, have a line of work that makes us "prone to capture". Having a watch that says Special Ops, Special Forces, Spec Ops and the like in the field will draw a level of attention to us that we definitely do not need. I would love to see a watch from you that do not carry these markings anywhere on the watch, whether this be a new watch model, or covert versions of your current productrange. Still, with my current Blackhawk (bought in Kabul btw...) I would like to say thanks for an excellent product. Keep up the good work!
...Olav Gundersen
I'm a commercial helicopter pilot and used the night light on my black hawk titanium to read the charts on my leg board. It is very functional. I can keep my hands on the controls and still read the charts. Cool!


Recived my DARK OPS- WARRIOR watch last week.  Great watch, have been wearing instead of my tag since I received it.  Great Watch it attracts alot of attention more so than my Tag or the Rolex's my friends and Collegues wear.  I'll probably get the Rubber Strap eventually and probably another watch.  Oh ya and the quick delivery time was great.
...Thanks. Ron


Just wanted to let you know I received my Blackhawk and it is an awesome watch. Being in law enforcement I needed a durable watch, and this watch delivers. The flashlight has come in handy several times already. I have recommended your company and this watch to my partners. Thanks again.

I purchased the Blackhawk, rubber strap watch last year. Its a fantastic watch that has endured the test of combat, and still looks and works like new. I want to purchase a steel band for the watch, but it isnt offered on the website. Also, I wear the watch on the last hole in the rubber strap. Will a metal band go that small with links removed? Please send me information on how I can purchase a new band. Titanium would be my top choice. Thank you. Lester Brewer,

I recently purchased a Special Ops silver Thunderhawk, been about a month since i got it. This watch is bar none the gnarliest i have ever owned, it has withstood salt water, acid, and even raw crude oil. I work as a prject manager for a steel fab shop that does a variety of work but our main business is doing work on offshore oil platforms. As you may not know oil platforms are a rather extreme environment and can take its toll on anything. So far this watch has endured everything i have thrown at it, and trust me i have tested this thing in all kinds of environments. I wanted to send you an e-mail letting you know how happy i am with it and plan on purchasing more in the future. This watch still looks like it did the day i got it. I would like to commend you on making a product that is truely awsome. I have been looking for a watch that can handle the abuse for a number of years and had not found one of this caliber.
...Thank you, Rich


I wanted to let you know my husband gave me the MTM Black Hawk Special Ops watch for Valentine's Day and I love it.  I know that I am not the typical demographic that you market to, as a stay at home mom of two girls under two.  I needed a watch that I could see at night (since I wear contacts and can't see the alarm clock)and that I didn't have to take off and risk getting flushed down the toilet without a moments notice.  Also, I love the recharging feature as I have a drawer full of watches that are dead.  Having the time to replace batteries is  not high on the priority list. I really needed a watch that could survive two toddlers and I think I have found it!!  I just wanted to let you know that someone other than military could benefit from your watches.  Thanks so much!!!
...Cameron


I bought one of your watches, just love it! i work on a military base where special ops and other military types as well as "others" get language training. believe me the watch draws attention...
...thanks Bill


I recently purchased the special ops from you guys.  You have a great product.  I am a police inspector/crime scene photographer and do a lot of single camping.  I feel more secure with the orange signal light.  Thanks for making a great product!!
... L. Hall


Just received my new Dark Ops Warriors Stainless steel band and case and I really am impressed with the quality of this watch. WOW is it ever heavy! I do have a question for you. How long should the battery last before it needs to be replaced? Do I return it to you for a new battery, or can I go to any quality jeweler for a change of the battery?
...Alan Rose


Last month I bought a watch from Specialopswatch.com for my brother in Iraq. This watch was the heaviest watch I have ever held. It has the brightest light ever put in a watch. My brother says he uses it to light up maps and signal to each other in the dark. He says that this is the best equipment for him. It had its own electromagnetic charging system…. half of my brothers company wears them. He’s in a Special Forces unit in Iraq.
…John Greysmith


The MTM Special Ops watch was once only available to the military and to law enforcement agencies but now they are making it available to the general public. It’s a big heavy watch with very masculine, tough-guy styling. One cool detail about the watch is that it comes with a hex key so you can remove links yourself. The reviewer noted that it wasn’t amazingly accurate (it gains or loses around 20 seconds per month) but that it is easy to reset. Features include both dial illumination and external illumination that lets you use your watch as a mini-flashlight. It also has a rechargeable battery, a rotating bezel, a double locking clasp and a lower power indicator. It is water resistant to 330 feet and sells for $450.

Bought my Special Ops watch from Specialopswatches.co.uk, good quick service and I am very happy with my watch. I too bought the Blackhawk Special Ops Watch which I have now found out is worn by Keifer Sutherland in the new series of 24. I am a big 24 fan and this is an added bonus as I had already bought my Blackhawk when I found out. Special Ops Watch - quality, tough and mean - I would give it 10 out of 10.

Top quality watches - just bought one for a Christmas present. They are heavy but not too heavy, you can tell they are well made and the light functions are really neat. I bought the Blackhawk Special Ops Watch (the above is the Thunderhawk) which is the black version of the same watch –and looks better in my opinion.

"Here is what I found about Special Ops Watches: The US Special Forces wanted a new watch (one that was more rugged and reliable) about 18 years ago. They approached a company in California (MTM) and asked them to design a sort of Swiss Army Knife watch. Over the next two years the company spent some time talking to NASA and MIT (Mass' Institute of Technology). Together they came up with a watch that would be one of the most accurate (and easily reset to atomic clock) watches in the world. They did all sorts of searches and tests to find the best materials for it (carbon fibre, diamond hardened quartz glass etc). The battery electro-magnetic recharging system originally existed as something developed for NASA (meant you could generate more efficient electricity in space via spacial object discharges or some such thing). MIT played with it and got it into a stand (which you no doubt receive with the watches) which recharges the battery. The way they designed the shielding around the battery meant that it would survive an EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) such as can be caused by a nuclear explosion or an EMP generator. This meant that the watches became virtually indestructible. As you already know they are water resistant to 300m. They can resist pressures of up to 15 atmospheres (which would have killed a human after about two and a half seconds). They were issued (officially) to the Special Forces (Delta Force, Army Rangers, SWAT teams, Navy Seals). After a year the civilian forces (FBI, DEA and CIA) wanted them and about six months after that the Army, Navy and USAF ordered them. The USAF liked them because it was easily reset for fast jet pilots. The British got hold of them a while ago and the SAS and SBS got them. Several army, navy and RAF officers got hold of them and they spread. Now even the Israeli Mossad use them, along with the British MI5 and MI6."

Message: I just received my "Black Patriot" watch that I ordered from you. I wanted to say "thank-you" for the prompt shipping ... and I am thrilled with the timepiece itself. As a retired law-enforcement officer, and a current trainer of both police & military personnel ... I believe that this is the one timepiece that I have been looking for. Thanks again!

I am currently using your MTM Special Ops Thunderhawk watch in tactical operations in Iraq and it has given me outstanding reliable service. I do need to get another charging station as mine has given up the ghost. How do I go about getting one?

The MTM Special Ops watch is a nice-looking, rugged, functional timepiece. Apparently having previously only been available to the military and to law enforcement agencies (the Secret Service, Navy Seals, Air Force, Delta Force, Army Rangers, Special Forces, Swat Teams, FBI, DEA, Police Officers, SAS, and Special Forces worldwide), Multi Time Machine, Inc. is now making the Special Ops Watch available to the general public.
The fist thing you will notice about the MTM Special Ops Watch is its weight. If you prefer light-weight, inconspicuous timepieces, the Special Ops is not for you. If you like your watches substantial and solid, keep reading. The watch isn't so heavy that you will eventually lose the use of your left arm, but the Special Ops is a dense and solid piece of stainless steel.
The next thing you will notice, after removing the watch from its packaging, is that the MTM Special Ops is a pretty nice-looking watch. It's not Rolex or Breitling good-looking, but it's unique and handsome. All three hands are easy to see against the black dial, and the Arabic numeral hour markers are large and clear. The 12, 4, and 8 are interrupted by the watch's lighting system (more on this topic below), but if you don't know where the 12, 4, and 8 are on your watch, you should probably just be wearing a digital, anyway.
The next thing you should notice about your new watch is that you won't have to take it to a jeweler to get it resized. This is something I really have to commend MTM for. Having to get a watch sized at a jeweler is extremely inconvenient. More and more watches are available over the internet, so having to take them somewhere to get them sized after they arrive in the mail can be a huge downer. And I've found jewelers can be compete jerks about sizing watches that weren't purchased in their shop, or they will charge ridiculous amounts of money (or both). The MTM Special Ops Watch, on the other hand, is simple to size right at home. It comes with a small hex key that you use to easily remove pins from links. And if you gain or lose weight, give the watch away, or eventually sell or trade it, it can easily be readjusted…I should also say that I can resize most watches myself, but that's because I've had no choice but to learn. Unless the watch is designed to be sized at home, I always recommend taking it to a nice and cooperative jeweler, if you can find one.
One subtle characteristic of the MTM Special Ops watch that I like is that the second hand stops when you set the time. It drives me crazy when second hands don't stop when the crown is fully extended because I like to set watches down to the second. The Special Ops watch is not amazingly accurate (±20 seconds per month -- pretty standard for a mid-range quartz watch), but I don't mind resetting a watch each month or so to keep it accurate to within a couple seconds. I was also impressed with how easy the crown is to unscrew and pull out. The crown is large and textured, making it easy to grip and maneuver, most likely so that it can even be operated while wearing gloves.Features of the MTM Special Ops Watch
• Dial illumination. Press the button above the crown once, and the three LEDs at the 12, 4, and 8 o'clock positions bathe the face of the watch in a gentle blue hue, allowing you to easily read the time in complete darkness for about 5 seconds until it fades out. The hour and minute hands of the watch, and the hour markers, are coated in luminescence paint for additional readability in low light, but the dial illumination feature is really the way to go for quick and easy reading in the dark.
• External illumination. This is really the feature that makes this watch special. Press the illumination button above the crown a second time, and the LEDs at the 12, 4, and 8 o'clock positions turn orange and increase massively in intensity to turn the face of your watch into a miniature torch which can be used for reading things like maps or notes, or for signaling other parties up to a full mile away. In this mode, the watch will remain illuminated for up to 20 seconds, or until you press the button again. Make sure you aren't looking directly into the face of the watch while in external illumination mode or you will be seeing three bright orange dots whenever you close your eyes for hours. In fact, an undocumented use of this watch might be for blinding assailants.
• Rechargeable. The MTM Special Ops Watch contains a rechargeable battery. The watch recharges by being placed on a sort of pedestal or a dock where the back of the case rests on the charger, and the bracelet hangs down below. The watch does not charge through metal contacts, but rather through an elegant electromagnetic charging system, which means the battery is actually charged through the caseback… It takes about 8 hours to fully charge (plan ahead and charge it while you sleep), and will run for approximately one month on a single charge, assuming you use the dial illumination and the external illumination systems an average of once per day.
• Rotating bezel. The MTM Special Ops Watch has a unidirectional rotating bezel to allow you to use the watch for timing purposes.
• Double locking clasp. The clasp on the MTM Special Ops Watch has a double locking mechanism which feels very secure and robust.
• Low power indicator. The Special Ops Watch uses the second hand to indicate that the watch needs to be charged. When the second hand starts jumping ahead 2 seconds (every two seconds, which means it is still keeping accurate time), your watch is telling you that you have a few days worth of juice left. Once the second hand starts jumping ahead in increments of four, you have a matter of hours to get the watch recharged. Once the watch stops, well, I think that's pretty self-explanatory. You waited too long.
• Water-resistant to 100 meters, or 330 feet. The crown screws down and the caseback locks down to keep the case water-tight.
If you like what you have been reading, you are probably wondering how to get an MTM Special Ops Watch. They are only available online, and only from Specialopswatch.com There are two models available: The Thunder Hawk, and the Black Hawk and both models go for $450.00, or $459.95 after shipping. If you have a need for the external illumination feature, and you want a nice, solid, heavy stainless steel watch, I think you will be very pleased with the MTM Special Ops.

Hi, I ordered the black hawk and received it yesterday, just wanted to say I am very impressed with the watch and its features. It is the best watch I have ever owned. I love the light features on the watch. I am a tanker in the army national guard and when we were deployed and training in the field, night ops were hard when you had to use a little red light but now the light is on the wrist, so no searching through the ruck sack blind. all and all just wanted to sat well done, and thank you.

I just received my two tone Patriot watch as promised today and all I can say is...WOW!! What a watch!! I had heard that it was a heavy duty piece of equipment but I couldnt beleive how well built and heavy this thing is.I'm a civilian so the watch will never see the rugged conditions that I'm sure its capable of handling. I just like the beefiness and look of it for day to day adventures. Thanks again for a great product. Your customer service people also helped make my experience with your company a pleasant one. Sincerely,
... Larry Epps
