1983 Royal Navy Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch (RN300-83 QS60)

Item code: 73589

Due to numerous requests for upgrades, this watch now comes with sapphire glass as standard.

In 1983, CWC produced the first quartz divers' watch for the Royal Navy and this reissue has been made to the same specifications, with SuperLuminova (as Tritium is no longer available). The T on the dial remains for historical correctness.

The quartz version was specified by the M.O.D. to include a polished case, sword minute hand, Tritium dial and luminous bezel. This continued throughout the 1980s. In the early '90s, the hands and bezel changed.

We take great pride in producing timepieces worn by British forces for fifty years.

1983 Diver Reissue

This watch is my favourite, I am so pleased with it. Absolute perfection, I've been wanting one of these for a long time, and it was well worth the wait. Beautifully made, and you really have to see that awesome vintage patina on the lume. This will be my go to watch and will stay on my wrist for a long time. Not cheap, but really worth every penny ! I've yearned for one of these ever since I was in the Royal Navy years ago !

I was aways very envious of the RN Clearance Divers who used to be able to be issued with these watches. I always wanted one and now after 40 years I have one. Looks just as good as it did then, a very practical accurate watch; although not used for diving!!! Well worth the money and very happy with it. Very fast delivery.

1983 Royal Navy Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch - To cool 4 school.

I recently purchased the 1983 Royal Navy Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch, and it's absolutely incredible! The quality is exceptional, and the vintage feel is spot on. It's clear that CWC has captured the essence of the original model. The military coolness factor is off the charts, and I've received countless compliments on it. The customer service was also superb - they were incredibly helpful and efficient. This is one of the coolest watches I've ever bought. Highly recommended
