The watch features a robust stainless steel case and is equipped with a high-performance automatic 21,600 bph 21-jewel self-winding movement. We have made several upgrades to the original design, including a shatter and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and an increased water resistance rating. The dial and caseback are both unbranded (referred to in the military as sterile), giving the watch a clean, uncluttered appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistorical and Technical Background:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis watch is based on a 1980 UK MOD specification for automatic diver's watches (DEF STAN 66-4 [Part 1] Issue 3).

Synthetic sapphire is extremely strong, shatter-resistant, and scratch-resistant, making it ideal for military and security personnel, police officers, and active outdoor enthusiasts. These groups account for over 70% of our customer base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur observations show that over 90% of incidents involving cracked watch crystals occur with mineral glass. Even hardened mineral crystals do not match the durability of sapphire. Sapphire crystals are strengthened through heat treatment to remove internal stresses and are then coated with two layers of anti-reflective coating. While sapphire crystals are more expensive, they offer superior longevity, resilience, and performance, justifying their use in higher-end watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese models represent excellent value and are very competitively priced for such a high-performance automatic watch.
