Model: SUB/PVD/B/A Condition: Looks New with Plastic Still on Caseback and Crystal
This watch arrived as part of a large batch from a military security industry clearance sale. After putting it on a watch Winder for 20 minutes and then checking it we found it ran fine, so there’s no reason to believe there’s anything wrong with it, aside from being an older 2014 model that has been discontinued for 10 years. Cosmetically, the watch appears to be in excellent condition. The only potential issue is that the bezel might require slight tension adjustment. It would probably be a good idea to have the Watch Service at some point simply because it's clearly been in storage for a good number of years.
FACTORY DESCRIPTION
SKU: SUB/PVD/B/A
This military-specification diver's watch is finished in covert matte black PVD and powered by a reliable automatic 24-jewel movement with a 41-hour power reserve, this watch delivers outstanding value for its advanced specifications.
The matte black PVD finish, commonly used in military contracts for special forces, anti-terrorist units, and covert operations, is achieved through a superior chemical plating process. Unlike painted finishes that can fade or wear off, this PVD method alters the steel at a molecular level, ensuring lasting durability even in demanding environments. While tough, the finish can be damaged if the case is severely gouged or subjected to extreme abrasion, such as against rocks.
This watch is equipped with a standard 20mm NATO strap, compatible with a wide variety of replacement straps to suit individual preferences.
