The Watch

He quickly secured contracts to supply the British MOD and has supplied them with many thousands of watches. In1996 on Ray’s retirement he sold the company to Silvermans Ltd who sold CWC watches to the public, since that time and due to the increased costs of producing watches in Switzerland, the British MOD requirements of buying cheap has meant they have ceased using Silvermans. Inspired by the quartz version made for the Royal Marines SBS, formed at the height of WW2 The Special Boat Service is the maritime elite counter-terrorism unit of the Royal Navy.

Personal Note

I've always been attracted to these modern CWC watches, they capture perfectly their history and essence of the military watches they were making all those years ago. This one is fantastic, all black and super stealthy, size-wise it is great on the wrist too!
