This WMT Royal Marine is limited to 100 pieces. It takes its design cues from the Rolex "Comex" Submariner. Comex is a French diving company founded in 1961 they explore the ocean depths and needed a tool watch for their saturation divers. Rolex saw this as an opportunity to test their various models in the field before release. They worked closely together from 1970 until 1997.

Personal Note
This is one I personally owned for some time and sold and have recently purchased back, the urge was strong to keep it again, but after a week with me, I've decided I have enough watches and should let someone else enjoy this one! Such a good looking watch for not a lot of money, plus the build quality is fantastic and I think will shock most of you once you have it on wrist. One to enjoy and not worry about!
