1980 Reissue Royal Navy Divers Watch (Light Vintage only)
We have obtained a small quantity of ETA 2824-2 automatic movements for the next few limited 1980 RN divers watches.
"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 This watch actually superseded the Rolex MilSub on the wrists of Royal Navy divers, and its first version, with a self-winding mechanical movement, is far rarer than the Rolex it replaced."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 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
Love the watch and got what I wanted. It’s just a shame that for the price the dial couldn’t be aligned properly. This one issue really kills the vibe of the watch as it’s all that I look at. Wish it could be fixed. Regardless the watch is here to stay.
I own this watch since a while now and I absolutely love it.
It is really well built, works like a charm and very pleasing aesthetically.
Everything is to like about it. Sure it is pricier than other options from CWC but worth every penny. One of the last affordable military spec, historically correct (beside tritium) still in production and available. I would highly recommend you grab one while these are still available. I am sure you will enjoy every second wearing it. My second option in the line up would be the quartz 1983 version.
