1980 Reissue Royal Navy Divers Watch.
We have obtained the quantity required of TOP GRADE ETA 2824-2 automatic movements to complete the limited edition 1980 RN divers watches.
The remaining serial numbers are random, ranging from the 100s up to the 500s and years /18 to /22; they will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.
The first 1980 reissues were released in 2017 and most have been supplied with standard ETA 2824-2 movements; these remaining few are all Top Grade.
"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 This watch actually superseded the Rolex MilSub on the wrists of Royal Navy divers, and its first version, with a self-winding mechanical movement, is far rarer than the Rolex it replaced."

Customer Reviews
I always wanted a handsome, elegantly designed dive watch and then I stumbled across the 1980 reissue and haven’t looked back since.
I bought this for my 50th birthday as a treat and it hasn’t left my wrist since. It’s super tough (I’m in the workshop every day and this thing has shrugged off the life of a maker brilliantly) and it’s as attractive as the day is long.
Reliable, handsome and tough… bury me with this one please.
I got mine almost 2 years ago. It is understated and aesthetically A+++. I've sold my GMT Master (pepsi) and Submariner. I've given my old Explorer 1 to my son. The 1980 basically replaced all of them. Happy to see there is no more stock.
I contacted the company prior to placing my order and was informed around 50 of the 600 units produced were remaining so I went ahead and placed my order for this very limited production watch.
Beautifully finished diving watch by CWC with wonderful heritage and craftsmanship, great detailing and the polished case gives it extra presence. If you’ve been thinking about ordering go ahead and order so you don’t miss out, you’ll love it. Photo was taken with a Royal Corps of Signals regimental strap.

I missed the first round of this model, so when my contact at CWC told me there were new availabilities, I jumped at the chance. I expected something beautiful. This surpasses my expectations. The watch isn't just beautiful; it's majestic. Simple and elegant. By changing the strap, you can wear it with anything and in any situation. A true gem. I can't stop looking at it on my wrist. I hope for only one thing: that CWC will stop making it, otherwise it won't be a rare model anymore, and then I would be disappointed. As for the customer service? They are just incredible. Friendly, available, and always full of good advice. One recommendation: buy it with your eyes closed!
This is my first CWC watch. It’s definitely worth the price. I love the Simple, vintage design and it’s history
