1980 Reissue Royal Navy Divers Watch
(Light Vintage only)

"The 1980 RN Divers Automatic originally issued to RN Clearance Divers, NSN 0552/9237697. This watch actually superseded the Rolex MilSub on the wrists of Royal Navy divers, and its first version, with a self-winding mechanical movement, is far rarer than the Rolex it replaced."  Search CWC on Hodinkee.com for the article.

Perfection

This watch is just perfection: Brand, history, design, fit and finish. Everything is there! It's a georgeous diver, so close to the original. It's like no other watch I know. And the customer service of Silvermans was unique. They really personally take care for you. Top.
