This watch is a SUB/PVD/ST/A below is a full description of this particular watch and the issues which it has (or is reported to have because in many cases the watches do not have significant issues, below that is the full information relating to this model from the factory website which gives full details of all of the dimensions, specification and other information relating to the watch.
We buy these watches from various defence auctions and other disposal sales and it's frequently the case that we find that there is actually nothing wrong with the watch but it has to be assumed it will have some form of fault though in most cases it's very minor or as described below. These watches are disposed of at low-cost because we find that one of the problems is pressure of time for our service staff in the UK and elsewhere and in most cases they have given them a quick check over and nothing is immediately apparent though we have to assume that there is either no real fault with the watch or something will reveal itself over time in which case it’s normally a simple case of a service, repair or battery exchange depending on the exact model
Model: SUB/PVD/ST/A
Condition: The watch is a 2015 model but looks new and has clearly been in storage for years.
Fault: The watch looks brand new and still has the plastic on the Crystal but when it was given a quick check over we found that the crown comes out but other than that he's good as new. We suspect that the problem was discovered before the watch was ever worn/used.

Factory Description:
SKU Code: SUB/PVD/ST/A
This brand new recently uprated military specification divers watch is MWC's of our latest automatic (self winding) 24 jewel models. We are producing these watches for a contract in South America and they represent excellent value and are very competetively priced for an automatic watch of this type.
This watch is finished in a special covert matt black non reflective PVD finish, this finish is often specified in military contracts for many special forces units as well as by anti terrorist units and for various covert operations. In the PVD process the steel is not black all the way through because the colour is created by a special chemical PVD plating process which is vastly superior to the painted finish used on some lower quality watches which can easily fade or rub off. This PVD process means that the colour of the steel is altered at a molecular level, therefore it will not deteriorate even during heavy usage although it can be destroyed if the case is badly damaged by a piece of metal being gouged out or if the case is worn down by really heavy abrasion against rocks or something similar.
This watch measures 45mm including the crown and 40mm excluding the crown although it uses the the same 20mm NATO strap as most other military divers watches giving access to a vast array of different straps to suit your personal taste.
