This watch is in excellent condition, as can be seen in the images of the actual Watch. The Watch is not running, but it could just be a battery failure, but even the worst way replacement of the movement would not be particularly costly to sort out for anyone with basic horological skills.

FACTORY DESCRIPTION
SKU Code: SUQ/SL/SS/BB
 
This military divers watch in stainless steel with ceramic bezel, shatter resistant and sapphire crystal is powered by a Ronda 715li movement which has an amazing 10 year battery life. The watch has Tritium GLTS self luminous light sources and represents excellent value for a self luminous military divers watch with such a comprehensive cutting edge specification.
 
The Gaseous Tritium Light Sources (GTLS) on these watches make them by far the easiest watches in the world to see in low light or night conditions. The Tritium vials on the H3 dial illuminate up to 100 times brighter than any other watch dial, so you can easily identify the time at a second's glance.

* A lot of people ask us what are the benefits of sapphire crystal over a standard mineral crystal? The answer is that synthetic sapphire is by far the best material for watch crystals because it is very strong and also shatter and scratch resistant, these characteristics make it very appealing to military and security personnel, police officers and people who lead active outdoor lifestyles, these groups account for over 70% of our customers. To get things into perspective we find that when clients have accidents with watches resulting in a cracked crystal over 90% are usually watches with mineral glass crystals, even factoring in that we use hardened mineral crystals they still do not come close to sapphire for durability under adverse conditions. The reason that sapphire crystals are so strong is that after the sapphire glass is manufactured it is also heat-treated to remove its internal stresses—which can cause weakness—it is then made into the watch crystals and two layers of anti-reflective coating are applied, interestingly sapphire crystal is now used on the latest iPhone. Of course sapphire crystal comes at a price hence you find that it's normally only fitted to higher end watches.
