Precista is a British brand with deep connections to the military, particularly through supplying watches to the Ministry of Defence in the mid-20th century. Known for their rugged reliability, Precista produced timepieces that met strict MoD specifications, often for the Royal Navy and RAF. Their divers’ watches and chronographs became trusted instruments for service personnel. Today, vintage Precista models are highly regarded by collectors for their no-nonsense design, durability, and authentic link to Britain’s military heritage.

What's on Offer

We’re proud to present this highly rare Precista Royal Navy Diver from 1993 — one of the most elusive British military divers you’re likely to encounter. With an asymmetric stainless-steel case and rotating bezel, it features the bold “Big Triangle” at 12, quarter-Arabic numerals, block hour markers, and exceptionally strong original lume. The bulletproof 3 mm mineral crystal (the thickest ever used in an RN-issued diver) and screw-down crown add to its durability. Inside, the watch runs a robust ISA 1198 quartz movement, fully serviceable and dependable. Out of only about 300 ever issued, and with far fewer surviving today, this example in superb condition is a rare jewel in any collection and an absolute joy to military collectors - we don't expect it to be around for long.
