SKU: DIV2001/PVD/715LI

This model carries the NATO Stock Number 6645-99-969-5589, allocated by the UK Ministry of Defence codification agency. It is directly descended from MWC military divers produced from the early 1990s to 2004 and retains the highly regarded 1999–2001 pattern dial, widely considered the most legible configuration due to its uncluttered layout and excellent low-light visibility.

While the outward appearance remains faithful to the original issue watches, the modern version has been extensively upgraded to meet current operational standards.


Key Upgrades

  • Swiss Ronda 715Li movement – approximately 10-year battery life (replacing the earlier 5-year Ronda 705)
  • Sapphire crystal – vastly superior scratch and impact resistance compared to mineral glass
  • 120-click unidirectional bezel – improved timing precision and tactile control
  • Enhanced sealing and water resistance – suitable for professional diving

Because of its specification and reliability, the watch has been of ongoing interest to procurement agencies and is available to NATO forces through its NSN classification.


Military PVD Case Finish

The case features a military-spec black PVD treatment frequently specified for special forces and tactical use.

Unlike painted finishes used on lower-cost watches, PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) bonds to the steel at a molecular level. The result is:

  • Far greater wear resistance
  • No fading
  • No flaking

The finish will only show wear if the steel itself is deeply abraded (for example against rock or concrete surfaces during heavy field use).


Historic Case Design

The case design originates from a pattern produced in Switzerland in the late 1970s and used across multiple military and professional diving watches. It has remained in continuous production for over four decades because of its durability, ergonomics, and ease of servicing.

The current MWC version follows the original British MOD specification visually but incorporates modern materials and engineering improvements developed over the last 30 years.


Why Sapphire Crystal Matters

Synthetic sapphire is the most durable material used for watch crystals. It offers:

  • Exceptional scratch resistance
  • High impact resistance
  • Superior clarity

In real-world use, cracked crystals overwhelmingly occur on mineral glass watches. Sapphire is therefore strongly preferred by military personnel, police, security professionals, and outdoor users.

    Don’t recommend
    Size: Medium, Color: Black
    Got this as a last minute shirt for an event and it was roughly $12 on sale. The quality was ok, first wear was fine but it doesn’t hold up after washing and air drying. I don’t recommend unless only wearing once, there was a lot of shedding and pilling after the first wear. I’m rough 5 ft tall and about 140 lbs. and I got a M and it sat around my hips so unless your on the tall side this wouldn’t fit.

    Buy it
    If you're looking for a comfortable thick and nice turtle neck this is the one. It's nice and form fitting nice weight to it to keep you warm. But not to thick that you cant just wear it on a regular sunny day if you wanted. The design pattern Is also very nice. Can dress it up or down. I bought the black and then immediately bought the rust orange color for my friend once he tried on mine he wanted one immediately so I gifted him one. He loves it. Definitely worth the buy. Excellent quality. I bought a Large 5"11 165lbs
