These early issue SBS watches from 92 / 93 / 94 are extremely sought after now and very hard to find with few ever coming up for sale.

This watch is in fantastic condition, correct for an early issue 94 with fantastic patina to the dial and hands, a really nice case with fixed metal bars (so that the watch can be worn on a nato strap) and clear correct military engravings on the screw down caseback.

The watch is from our private collection and originally came to us direct from a large military surplus equipment provider who had a direct contract with the MOD, from whom they received the watch.

From CWC Addict:-
The SBS diver is possibly the quintessential CWC watch; whilst most other CWC watches and clocks have antecedents in other models, or have been made or supplied by other brands, only CWC has ever produced the black day-date dive watch for the British military. For this reason, as well as for the link to the British Special Forces, issued versions of this watch are highly sought-after by collectors.

The watch was originally designed to the specifications of the Special Boat Service (SBS) in 1987; it has been suggested that special forces operatives wanted a non-reflective black metal finish for night time operations – possibly inspired by Royal Marines based in Hong Kong who had their issued RN dive watches black-coated locally – and that the day-date function was because they spent considerable amounts of time on mission and found it helpful to keep track of the days. The NSN 7995443 is specific to this watch.
