Lovely, I don't own an RN Diver but plan to at some point. Is that first one the recent 1980's reissue? If not I didn't realise just how spot on they got the lume/hand colour. Always prefer the non circle logo, will have to be content with my G10 fatboy for now which I'm wearing more often when not at work.
Nice pictures - I have a soft spot for the CWC as well, only own a 2001 SBS version, but would love to get hold of a mid to late 80's regular one like you have there. Prices seem to be on the up though......
Excellent representation of a great series of watches - think that 92 SBS should have its RN brother with it though!
One of these days I’m going to buy a non quartz one. Right after my Flieger. Their website is a nice hole to disappear into every once in awhile.
I wonder what would be the value of that 1981? It looks a near perfect example, beautiful even patina too.
And for anyone who tries to play top trumps with Mr Charlton, be it issued CWC or large Mercedes.....you will lose!
What a collection of CWCs, watchlovr! Here is my only CWC - a late 1981 6BB issued to the Royal Air Force. Recently acquired from a friend, admittedly without knowing much about the history of the watch and the brand. Been enjoying wearing though!
. Hello, I too am a CWC fan and appreciated your article. I would like to tell you I have a1980 diver but unfortunately can't. I am looking for a mid 80s CWC Diver. Do you know who I can approach or do you have one for sale? Cheers Kevin.

There had been quite a few issued quartz divers appearing on eBay over the last few months, both US and UK. Happy to say I picked one up to go with my issued 2001 SBS recently. Prices seem to be a bit variable though so best to get a feel for them before jumping in.
