MWC 24 Jewel 1982 Pattern 300m Automatic Military Divers Watch with Sapphire Crystal on a NATO Webbing Strap (Date Version)
Product Code: DIV/82SS/AU/D2 These diver's watches are a modern remake of our 1980s model, specifically remade for a U.S. contractor who secured a large sale to one of their clients. The watch features a robust stainless steel case and is equipped with a high-performance automatic 24-jewel self-winding movement. Several upgrades have been made to the original design, including a shatter and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and an increased water resistance rating. Historical and Technical Background This watch is based on a 1980 UK MOD specification for automatic diver's watches (DEF STAN 66-4 [Part 1] Issue 3), which specified a unidirectional bezel and a boldly marked dial with tritium paint and a mineral glass crystal. The MOD document from 1980 can be seen in the final two images. While this watch retains the spirit of the 1980 design, it includes modern improvements such as a sapphire crystal for enhanced durability. Key Features and Upgrades Movement: High-performance automat
