A personal favourite.

I love CWC and everything that they make, but I have a soft spot for these Royal Navy Divers. I think they are one of the best Mil Spec watches on the market, plus with all the provenance and history to go with it. The next step up is always trying to find an issued version. An issued version is a watch that was supplied to the soldier via the MOD and was part of their kit. The case back numbers and broad arrow denote this, and this 1997 version is a beauty. Issued versions are obviously rarer and come with a history only the soldier will know and understand, so this is a Mil Spec watch in the truest sense. A watch made for a serving soldier and for that we will always be thankful. In good used condition and working well. A true British military watch icon! Beware though once you buy one of these you will want another! They are that good!
