CWC Royal Navy Quartz Diver 034/97 - Issued 1997 - Watch Only (1997)

An issued CWC Royal Navy quartz diver in honest used condition, with the original 1997 military markings still crisp on the caseback. Cabot Watch Company supplied these 300m divers to the British Ministry of Defence as standard-issue tool watches, and surviving examples like this one carry the genuine service history that collectors of military timepieces look for.
