SKU Code: SUB/PVD/B/AB

This military-spec diver’s watch in a covert matte black PVD finish is part of our current operational range. Built as a true tool watch, it combines rugged construction with a proven automatic movement and professional dive specifications.

The watch features a ceramic bezel and a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating. It is powered by a 24-jewel self-winding automatic movement with an approximately 41-hour power reserve, offering outstanding reliability and value for a high-specification mechanical watch.

Covert Military PVD Coating

The non-reflective matte black PVD finish used on this model is the type frequently specified in military procurement contracts for special forces, counter-terrorist and covert operations.

Unlike painted coatings used on lower-quality watches, PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) bonds to the steel at a molecular level. This makes it far more resistant to fading, peeling or rubbing off during normal use.
Only heavy gouging or prolonged abrasion against hard surfaces such as rock or metal will eventually wear the finish.

Black PVD Steel Bracelet

This version is supplied on a matching black PVD stainless steel bracelet, giving the watch a more substantial feel and a slightly higher weight while retaining the low-visibility tactical appearance.

The standard 20mm lug width also allows the watch to be easily fitted to NATO, rubber or leather straps if desired.

Why Sapphire Crystal?

Sapphire crystal is considered the premium material for watch crystals due to its exceptional scratch resistance and high impact strength. It is particularly suited to military personnel, security professionals, police officers and active outdoor use.

In practical terms, cracked crystals overwhelmingly occur in watches fitted with mineral glass. Even hardened mineral glass cannot match sapphire’s durability under harsh conditions.

The sapphire used in this watch is heat-treated to remove internal stresses and then finished with an anti-reflective coating to improve legibility in bright daylight.
