Below is a full description of the watch, along with information from the original factory website detailing dimensions, specifications, and other relevant information.
We purchase these watches from various defense auctions and surplus sales. Often, we find that the watches have no issues. In the case of these two watches (one from 2013 and the other from 2014), since they are around 10 years old and have been in storage for many years, a routine service would be advisable. However, it should be fine to use them for a while before booking a service.
Model:
SUB/SSA/STBL
Condition:
Looks new, still in the original tin and box with the original plastic protectors on both the crystal and the bracelet.
Fault:
Both watches were tested for 4 hours, and they were running fine and keeping accurate time. There appear to be no issues based on their age, it would probably be wise to give them a routine service at some point.
Original Factory Description:
Product Code: SUB/SSA/STBL
This newly updated military diver’s watch, with a stainless steel finish and matching bracelet, is one of our latest automatic (self-winding) 24-jewel models. We are producing the NATO strap variant of this watch for a contract in South America, and it represents excellent value, being very competitively priced for an automatic watch of this type.
The watch is slightly larger than standard diver’s models, with a width of 45mm including the crown (40mm excluding the crown). It has the same 20mm lug width as other MWC military diver’s watches, and the stainless steel bracelet can easily be removed if you prefer to use a rubber or NATO strap.
