Extremely swift delivery and all enquiries answered within hours for a G10 replacement watch glass.
Greetings from Japan. I’ve long admired the combination of a military watch and a compass, and with the CWC, I’ve finally made that a reality. I am absolutely delighted!
Thank you so much to the team at CWC - this was my first purchase but won’t be the last. The product itself was delivered surprisingly quickly to Australia, and was thoughtfully set to the correct time and date prior to delivery. The SBS divers watch is comfortable, tough and highly legible under low light conditions. While my days as a first responder are over, this watch takes pride of place alongside others in my collection. Thanks for the excellent wrist watch and service.
I was issued my G10 in 1984 and wore it every day for 22 years around the world during peace and combat. A few new batteries but the watch never missed a beat and brought down a few fire missions in its time. I forgot to hand it in when I retired in 2006 🙂.
44 years later the watch is still good as new just a little tired looking (like myself).
So I decided to buy a new fresh looking G10. Ordered last Friday and arrived on Saturday. Outstanding service and a perfect looking watch. Delighted
The SBS diver watch is perfect, The size fits me perfectly.
Thank you!
CWC Divers Issue Quartz Watch Mk.2 Day/Date.
Well worth the wait for these to be back in stock. High quality, solid and rugged watch. Fantastic lume. Built for the military, capable to handle anything encountered during your day and look good doing it
I love this watch! The watch is well designed and the craftsmanship is outstanding. I highly recommend a watch from CWC. They have a place in history and make excellent watches.
CWC SBS Divers Issue Quartz Watch Mk.2 Day/Date, Black (SF300 QS120-DD)
I was hesitant about spending almost $1,000 on a quartz piece but I have to say that this hasn’t left my wrist since I purchased it. I’m very impressed with the quality and craftsmanship. I would recommend this to anyone who is on the fence it’s an amazing time piece.
After over 30yrs of service I damaged my G10 and needed a replacement. Not as easy as planned due to many CWC options on offer. Brilliant website with excellent descriptions. G40 ordered and arrived as planned. Spot on thanks
Great watch, my third from CWC. Passing my SBS and Navy diver to my sons so needed another ‘go anyway do anything’ watch for my collection. Absolutely love it! (changed to a Zuludiver strap)
I purchased a new set of hands for my 1976 CWC g10 mechanical watch, they really set the watch off, and i'm now wearing it more. Thank you for your help.
From start to finish, the team were absolutely fantastic. Their communication was excellent throughout the entire process, they were responsive, friendly, and kept me updated every step of the way, making everything completely stress-free.
The product itself exceeded my expectations. The quality is outstanding, and I’m genuinely delighted with my purchase. I couldn’t be happier with both the service and the end result. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a great product backed by exceptional customer service.
