1983 RN 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.

New military watch

I recently had to replace a much loved older military watch which sadly had failed and was beyond repair. I was recommended to look at CWC by someone currently serving in the military. They have an issued watch.
I am very pleased with the purchase. The service was excellent and I look forward to many years enjoyment of this particular watch.

Everything is just right

Just made me want Ti diver more. Proportions, case shape, sitting on the wrist, crown guard, all how it is supposed to be

Expectation

The design is lovely and also love the heritage. One thing though was that in the waiting doesn’t show how shined the metal is, the pictures make it look more Matt, perhaps semi gloss but not really glossy. I would have preferred that and when I get another one I’ll get black to avoid the gloss. Another thing I prefer if I could would be to have the watch large than the current size, feels on the smaller side on the wrist. I know it’s a reissue, but if I could have picked a large face version I 💯 would.

1983 RN Diver

I love most dive watches but this is another level, from the design to the bezel action to the comfort on the wrist.
If you’re interested in CWC then you know all about the design and history but as a watch it is simply brilliant, way better than I ever imagined it to be.
From the build quality, to the comfort, even how fast it arrived to me in Sweden everything has been perfect.

This may be the first CWC into my collection but absolutely will not be the last.
