CWC RN Quartz Divers Watch Mk.2, Matte TopvsCWC Tamar

Owners widely praise the CWC RN Quartz Divers Watch Mk.2, Matte Top for its matte finish, precise seconds hand alignment, and old-school dial and hands reminiscent of vintage Omega. The Mk.2 upgrades, including a sapphire crystal, improved lume, and a precise 120-click bezel described as "perfection," are consistently highlighted. Some owners consider its toolish design and comfortable 11mm thickness a significant draw. However, a few find the £700-£900 price point high for a quartz watch, and one owner reported chipping on the PVD finish after a few months. One owner also noted the Ronda 517 quartz movement gained 8 seconds over several months. Overall, owners rate the CWC RN Quartz Divers Watch Mk.2, Matte Top highly for its robust, military-inspired design and significant Mk.2 upgrades at the price.

Owners widely appreciate the CWC Tamar for its historical significance and vintage aesthetic, with the Ronda quartz movement and fixed spring bars being considered acceptable. However, some owners feel the price is not justified for a basic quartz watch with average finishing and faux indices, with one noting a case polish mark and chip after a few months. The design elements referencing the Welsh flag, including colors and a dragon motif, suggest a specific target audience. On balance, owners value the CWC Tamar for its historical connection and unique design, though some question its value proposition at the price point.
