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.

    good spray, but strong alcohol smell
    Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
    I like Alba Botanica, but 3.5 starts since: - the spray goes way too fast (that can be true for all continuous sprays). I used it 4 - 5 times and it seems I have very little left. - lots of waste when spraying... probably is best to spray your palm and then massage it on your body - once it's sprayed it smells like alcohol, alot!!! Other brands I tried don't seem to smell so much of alcohol. - My kid developed strange rash once it was applied, not red dots, but white bumps all over the arms and legs, cannot say its from this spray, but I'm a bit suspicious. The good party it's it is not sticky or greasy. Smells good (after alcohol evaporates). I used it a couple of times, applied once only and stay several hours under the sun and I was fine, no sunburn.

    Alba packaging stinks
    Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
    Complete waste of money! I ended up tossing it out because it’s IMPOSSIBLE to use. You should be able to twist the top to lock/unlock and spray it. NOPE. The top just spins and doesn’t catch or you cannot twist it at all. It’s also virtually impossible to spray. I had to hold it against my torso and press with both thumbs to get it to spray. Meanwhile, it’s leaking, the bottle is getting slippery. And then the spray goes EVERYWHERE, it’s not a narrow spray but it’s as if you’re dusting crops. I tried to see if it needed a certain pressure point, two fingers, bloody hell it’s not a Magic Mouse you should be able to unlock and spray it with one hand. Anyway, Alba needs to do some QC on their packaging. The last pump lotion I got, the pump also did not work. It just spun and spun and could not be unlocked. I had to wash and reuse the pump from an old bottle.

    Best sunscreen brand! Fair, sensitive-skinned and rely on this
    Style: SPF 50, Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
    Alba Botanica is my favorite brand for sunscreen products and it checks all the boxes on my list: Excellent long lasting coverage, fine mist spray and easy coverage cream versions, great for my sensitive skin (no breakouts- I do NOT use it on my face though), the Hawaiian fragrance is pleasant, it’s reef safe (a big one for me as a snorkel/dive aficionado), and organic ingredients. The large size lasts 5 full days when on a boat all day in the Carribbean, and I only apply it twice (once in morning, and again midday.) I have fair skin, and I never burn. The spray version is, by nature of its aerosol capacity, a bit drying on the skin, but this is to be expected, and it creates a long lasting barrier. The cream version is a wonderful emollient, although not quite as long lasting. Best deal is only in the summer season at CostCo for a 2 pack... in my searches, Amazon has the best deal otherwise.
