SKU Code: SUB/MIL/SS/AUWBL

These diver's watches are a modern remake of our 1980s model, specifically crafted for a U.S. contractor who secured a large sale to one of their clients. The watch features a robust stainless steel case and is equipped with a high-performance automatic 24-jewel self-winding movement. Several upgrades have been made to the original design, including a shatter and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and an increased water resistance rating. The dial is unbranded (referred to in the military as sterile), giving the watch a very clean and uncluttered appearance.

Historical and Technical Background:

This model takes inspiration from the 1980 UK Ministry of Defence specification for automatic diver’s watches (DEF STAN 66-4 [Part 1] Issue 3). It retains hallmark features such as the unidirectional bezel and clearly legible dial, originally marked with tritium.

In this modern version, we’ve swapped the now-obsolete tritium for non-radioactive Luminova and replaced the original mineral glass crystal with ultra-durable sapphire. The final two images show a scan of the original MOD spec file.

Benefits of Sapphire Crystal

Many customers ask about the benefits of sapphire crystal over standard mineral crystal. 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.

Our 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 a heat treatment process that removes 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.


These models represent excellent value and are competitively priced for such a high-performance automatic watch. This watch combines the historical design and functional integrity of its predecessors with modern upgrades to meet the needs of today's professionals and enthusiasts.

    Easy and sleek!
    Size: 10 Inch, Color: Gold
    I love the shelves! The gold finish pops on my white shelves. Easy to install, I was off by a half inch on the wood shelves I was using for the brackets but I was able to flip the brackets and use the underside to hold my shelves.

    Great shelves! Does lean down in front
    Size: 12 Inch, Color: Black, Size: 12 Inch, Color: Black
    I'm very happy with these deep shelves. We bought the 12 inch bracket to help my mom keep her eggs (she loves her chickens) from taking over her kitchen counters. It came with all the hardware needed. Even some extras. And the anchors it came with were the kind I like that requires so drilling a hole first because they are pointed and you screw them in. Easy peasy. One negative to note is that going that large without having a brace/crosses section does mean it sagged a bit down on the front. Nothing should fall off but it is noticeable in person. Something to think about. All in all I love the look with the (2) 5/4"x 6" x 6' boards from Home Depot. I wanna do it at my house now. One day.

    Pretty but screws are the wrong size
    Size: 12 Inch, Color: Black, Size: 12 Inch, Color: Black
    I definitely like the look of my shelves with these brackets, but be careful with the provided anchors and screws. The big anchors that you screw into the wall - if they aren’t perfectly flat the bracket will wiggle. Also, the screws and anchors aren’t compatible so you either need to buy smaller anchors or bigger screws so will hold tight. Unfortunately we installed half before figuring that out, so I ended up getting some small L brackets for each side so my shelves would be stable.
