CWC Quartz Divers Watch Mk.2 Polished Case

The CWC Quartz Divers Watch Mk.2 Polished Case is praised for its excellent case finishing and a perfect 120-click bezel, with significantly improved lume over previous versions and a sapphire crystal noted as a welcome upgrade. One owner noted a disappointing mark in the case polishing, stating that other watches at half the cost exhibit better overall finishing. The polished case is true to the original but seems odd for a military homage. Overall, owners rate the CWC Quartz Divers Watch Mk.2 Polished Case highly for its case finishing and bezel action, despite some concerns about value proposition and polishing quality.

Marathon TSAR (Tritium Search & Rescue) Diver's Quartz

The tritium tubes in the hands provide excellent brightness in the dark. On balance, owners rate the Marathon TSAR (Tritium Search & Rescue) Diver's Quartz highly for its exceptional tritium lume and robust, legible design.
