THE REVOLUTION

The watch that brought quartz into Royal Navy service.

Developed in 1983 to meet the evolving requirements of the Ministry of Defence, the CWC RN Quartz Diver marked a defining moment in the evolution of Britain's military dive watches. Retaining the proven design established in 1980, it introduced Swiss quartz technology to deliver greater accuracy, enhanced reliability and reduced maintenance for operational service.

Some watches embraced new technology.

This one changed military timekeeping.

The transition to quartz represented the most significant technological advancement in the history of the Royal Navy Diver. While its movement changed, its purpose did not. Engineered to the same uncompromising military standards as its mechanical predecessors, it combined proven military design with the precision and dependability demanded by operational service.

For decades, the RN Quartz Diver served Royal Navy divers, becoming one of Britain's longest-serving military-issued dive watches.

The current RN Quartz remains faithful to the original military specification, combining proven design with modern Swiss manufacturing, sapphire crystal and contemporary luminous materials.

This is not an homage.

It is a recreation of one of Britain's most historically significant military-issued dive watches.
