SBS WATCH WITHOUT THE DAY/DATE.
This is for customers who prefer the non-date dial; otherwise it is exactly the same as the issue SBS watch.
Cabot Watch Company have supplied this watch to the Special Boat Service of the Royal Navy since 1987 and is currently issued to certain units
I received this watch a few weeks ago and I have been wearing it ever since. It feels very well made and solid, so I am sure it is going to hold up to quite a bit of rough use. It's very comfortable to wear and I decided on the destro crown, which for me, was absolutely the right choice. Seems like an excellent watch so far and I'm very happy with it. The strap it came with is also very comfortable and so is the extra single pass strap I purchased.
Comfortable and not overly heavy. Cant tell it is on.
24 hours, that's the time it took from placing the order to getting the watch on my wrist.
The watch was preset on the second in my local TZ....
I consider myself an enthusiast, and have about a dozen different watches in my collection, ranging from a $90 G-shock to a $17k Rolex. Lately I've been focused on finding simple pieces with history and heritage, and discovering the actual watch issued to the Special Boat Services (which in my mind is a British version of our Navy SEALs, likely sporting cigars and heavy mustaches) was a real treat. Oddly enough, I stumbled across CWC after watching The Meg 2 (Jason Statham wears one in the movie, and there are a couple close-ups of the watch), and I had a good time researching the history of the company and looking over the catalogue before my first purchase. Finding a quartz watch with build quality this high is not easy, and having a no-date option is just icing on the cake. Sure, at approx $830 USD including shipping it may not be a superb value, but I figure there's an understandable premium because it's an authentic 'same as military-issued' piece. Pricing aside, it's hard to find much to dislike about the watch itself; the lume is outstanding, the case coating looks great, sizing is spot-on, the crown screws down buttery smooth, and the design is simple, classic, and perfect. I even received my watch set to-the-second for my home time zone halfway across the world, which tells me that somebody at CWC cares about their customers enough to look out for the little things. Like I mentioned before, finding a high-quality quartz watch that actually feels like a Swiss-made piece in the hand is not that easy nowadays; some quartz alternatives to consider depending on budget might be: the Seiko SNJ025 "Arnie" reissue, Scurfa D1-500, Marathon Navigator, or an Omega Seamaster 2264.50.
