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.

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.
