What’s On Offer 

Here we have a fantastic Royal Marines issued British Military CWC dive watch from 1995. The statement rotating outer black bezel showcases the depth of the black dial which in turn allows the (originally) yellow Tritium hour markers to pop with the attractive patina adding to its appeal and the 'statement' big triangle marker at 12 o'clock. 

The case appears to have previously been lightly polished but still shows slight signs of wear, and on the unidirectional bezel as one can expect to see on any military issued watch. The fixed lugs are perfectly straight and the screw down crown secures tightly.

Case back is engraved with the Royal Marines issue number 0555/6645-99 7573314 together with the British Government ‘broad arrow’ property symbol and the watch issue number and year.

Overall a great 'tool' watch with some pleasing signs of use and a fantastic patina to the dial and ready to be worn as either a daily beater or to add to any existing collection.
