For those who aren't au fait with the brand CWC or Cabot Watch Company. Ray Mellor founded the company in 1972 with the sole intention of supplying watches to the British military and government organisations. 

From 1980 to the early 00's, CWC produced the Navy Diver, it was in fact the watch that replaced the Rolex Milsub. Around 3000 were made over its twenty year production. In 1987 CWC were asked to produce a different spec dive watch specifically for the SBS. The watch spec was different to the regular RND (Royal Navy Diver) produced. It has a non reflective black coating and the day and date are now shown. 

By the early 2000's the SBS Diver became the standard issue dive watch, replacing the RND. This example is from 1994 where approximately 300 pieces were issued. The watch has clearly seen a decent amount of wrist time and it looks superb. Just the right amount of wear to the coating and some strap burn on the caseback. The movement has just been serviced and the watch passed a 10 bar pressure test.
