I have this with the day and date complication. I actually used it during my 9 months military service here in Sweden and it's been through a lot. It's very scratched up, but never missed a beat. Definitely a keeper of mine, it's an incredibly tough watch. Now if anyone asks why I didn't just get a G-SHOCK. In my line of work in the military, you're not allowed anything that sends a signal during field exercises. And the G-SHOCK I have has both bluetooth and multi band 6. So that was a no go! The CWC did great.

Absolutely love my 1980 reissue RN diver!!! It’s a special watch! 1980 that watch took over Rolex’s Mil sub mantel after R’s became a little too pricey !;) Mine automatic! By 1982 CWC changed to Quartz issued watches ! That bezel click though Rob ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Funny story. I went see a therapist,,( i am in the u.k.) and on my final session with him i noticed he had the auto version of this watch on his wrist. I said " hey man I like your watch, They are not that easy to come by." The guy goes." you are the only person who has ever noticed my watch. My wife knows i have a watch. But she dont know the cost." he then says. " you know I kept coming across the Quartz version" and I said. "Quartz got no soul" he Chuckled and Said. "I like that. And guess what? I am on the list for the S.B.S version". I smiled and and said goodbye. Dude was a badass and watches made us friends.

FYI: The Royal Navy used the Rolex Submariner for their divers until it was replaced by the CWC divers watch. The initial CWC divers watches were automatic but only for a short time before changing to quartz around 1983. Try finding an original Royal Navy Rolex Submariner today and if you are lucky enough be prepared to part with a lot of money! Even original automatic CWC watches can command a four figure sum. Thank you for a great presentation.

Nice video. I own the SBS version with quartz day/date. Second one I've purchased directly from CWC. First one sent back because of alignment issues. Happy with the current one. My $.02 is they are nice watches but a bit overpriced for what you get. Met a Brit wearing one in AFG and couldn't get it out of my noggin.

The CWC diver is more affordable alternative to the Omega 300m which has equal claim to the heritage/aesthetics, as both were designed to meet British Navy specs. It also keeps much closer to the original look than the modern 300m. Is a real shame about the supply though, prices have skyrocketed.

If you hold something that you know is mineral or sapphire against your forehead and then touch this one against it, you will be able to tell which is which. Mineral crystal has lower thermal conductivity so it feels almost warm to the touch, while sapphire has very high thermal conductivity, and so feels like ice almost when it is touched against your forehead. You might not know just from the feel alone, but when you compare them it is very obvious.

Absolutely. I like the design, the quartz was pricey but the eta version was nuts. No idea where the additional cost was for the eta to account for difference. Possibly all due to limited runs but this not same as limited edition. Eta run was 600. Looks like doing another run for quatrz though was due summer.

@@JimmyBlandfood Along with Marathon, CWC is a legitimately great brand that has a history of doing the dirty work that Rolex stopped doing a long time ago. The price is a little high for the specs, but when you consider the legitimate heritage and uniqueness, it’s worth it. I suppose that doesn’t work for the 120 click ceramic fidget spinner crowd, but I’m glad some people get it.
