What people say

Owners + reviewers, side by side

Synthesized for each watch independently from owner discussions, enthusiast forums, written reviews, and video reviewers.

CWC 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch

Owners widely praise the CWC 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch for its historically accurate reproduction, thin profile for a 300m diver, and a second hand that aligns well with indices. Reviewers note its reasonable size on smaller wrists, original dial layout with markers touching the chapter ring, and a broader minute hand. However, criticism is directed at the fixed 20mm bars necessitating specific strap types and the mismatched lume colors between hands and hour markers, with some finding the convex lume on the markers overly shiny. Overall, owners rate the CWC 1983 RN Divers Quartz Re-Issue Watch highly for its accurate vintage aesthetic and wearability.

CWC RN Quartz Divers Watch Mk.2, Matte Top

Owners widely praise the CWC RN Quartz Divers Watch Mk.2, Matte Top for its excellent matte case finishing, precise seconds hand alignment, and dial reminiscent of vintage military watches. The Mk.2 upgrades, including a sapphire crystal, improved lume, and a precise 120-click bezel described as perfection with no play, are consistently highlighted as significant improvements over earlier versions. One owner noted the quartz movement gained 8 seconds over several months. Overall, owners rate the CWC RN Quartz Divers Watch Mk.2, Matte Top highly for its solid construction, military significance, and terrific value.
