CWC British Military Chronograph – New Model for contracts with RAF and RN
|
|
New model CWC British Military quartz chronograph. This is the latest CWC watch. It is the successor to the now discontinued 10th second quartz chronograph. It has been developed to keep in line with the latest Ministry of Defense (MoD) specifications, which require the watch to have a twelve hour elapsed timer rather than a 10th second elapsed timer. The twelve hour elapsed timer is far more practical and functional on a military watch used for aviation purposes. It has been built to the full military specification as laid out by the MoD. The watch has been submitted to the MoD for procurement contracts. This is for use by the Royal Air Force for fighter pilots as well as the Royal Navy for helicopter pilots. The dial is slightly improved from the predecessor, showing all of the numerals apart from 4 where there is a date window instead. It still has an asymmetrical stainless steel case with a thicker right side, so that the crown and buttons are recessed to avoid them snagging and catching on things which is a critical feature in field use. The chronograph pushers are now oval rather than round which gives a wider surface so are easier to operate during flight. Has a screw on case back and sandblasted stainless steel finish, fixed bars, large crown and acrylic crystal. It uses the Ronda Startech Calibre 5030.D quartz movement. – again, all features required by the MoD for maximum security in field use. It has a tidy and distinguishable chronograph sub dial configuration, with the constant seconds at 3, the 30 minute elapsed timer at 10 and the 12 hour elapsed timer at 6. Central chronograph sixty second hand. The date window is at 4. This is an uncluttered, plain, but highly functional watch, indestructible built to last with extremely tough case, acrylic crystal, strap and movement which will endure the toughest of conditions. It has a black dial with tritium luminous markings. It has military ordnance numbers stamped on the back. Timekeeping is excellent and to the highest of Swiss standards. Pilot's watches are not made for submersion under water, so is not water proof - just splash proof. Supplied on NATO strap in box with instruction booklet. Dimensions are: Width is 38 mm excluding crown and 40 mm including crown and pushers. Lug to lug is 45 mm and thickness is 11.5 mm. Ref. CWC 12 Price is £240 or US $465 |

They are exceptionally strong and hard working professional timepieces. True to the original, the case is polished stainless steel, manual winding, and the back is re-created with the original issue numbers as well as some new numbers to indicate the ear and the number of the model. The logos have remained the same as well as the broad arrow. The dial is mat black with contrasting bold white dial markings and hands with superluminova luminous paint.

This watch is the current genuine issue to the SBS servicemen. The SBS watch is not black all the way through. The blackness however does not come from paint.

This means that the colour of the steel is altered at a molecular level, therefore will not peel off, chip or fade. Stainless steel is very tough, so cannot be easily damaged. It will only shine through with sliver colour if the damage actually rips a chunk out of the watch, to the metal starts to wear down. The watch is issued to elite military units, where blackness in all equipment is necessary. Depth rating is 300 metres.
