Let customers speak for us
I ordered it as a quartz backup to the 1982 reissue I picked up a few years ago. This one was ordered with a destro conversion, and so far, so good. It's a solid quartz movement, and has been spot-on accurate since I set it when it first arrived. As a collector, I love it, and it's one of the watches I will never part with!
Loving my new CWC SBS Divers Issue Quartz Watch Mk.2. Such a cool piece and is now part of my EDC wear.
In my work with Grey Bull Rescue, I need equipment that can handle unpredictable conditions without drawing attention to itself. The CWC GS Sapphire has proven to be ideal in that role. It is tough enough that I do not worry about impacts or rough use, the 200m water resistance removes any concern about weather or exposure, and the legibility is excellent even when I am moving quickly or working in low light. The lume is practical rather than theatrical and does exactly what it needs to do when it matters.
Comfort has been another standout. On the NATO strap, the watch feels secure without ever becoming bulky. After a few days of wear, it stopped feeling like a new purchase and started feeling like standard issue, the kind of gear you forget about because it simply works.
I have always valued subtlety in the things I wear. I am not drawn to gear that announces itself, and I do not see much value in overt signals. That said, I have come to appreciate the quiet way this watch communicates something to the right people without saying anything at all.
Most people never notice it, which is exactly how I prefer it. But on the rare occasion someone does, it is usually someone who understands functional equipment and the environments it comes from. There is a brief moment of recognition and curiosity, but mainly just understanding. It is understated, respectful, and fleeting, and I have found I actually appreciate that kind of connection far more than obvious attention.
The CWC manages to sit comfortably in that space. It is discreet enough to disappear in everyday life, yet meaningful enough to resonate with people who know what they are looking at. It feels less like an accessory and more like a quiet marker of shared values: practicality, restraint, and purpose.
In that sense, it is one of the few pieces of gear I own that feels genuinely aligned with how I move through the world, present when needed and invisible when not.
Overall, the CWC GS Sapphire has become a genuine daily driver. It is not a statement piece, and it is not trying to be. It is a reliable, honest tool that integrates seamlessly into real work and real life. If you value durability, clarity, and heritage over hype, it is an easy recommendation.
If I had to be picky, I've noticed it runs a couple of seconds fast over a week or so, so far… Knowing this, I simply pull the crown and reset it once a week. It’s really not a big deal…
It’s a tank. It’s reliable. Lume is great. 200m so you never need to worry about water in your day to day activities. Size is perfect for everyday use. Fixed lugs. Sapphire. Tell me what else you require?
If you need more than this you aren’t after this daily work horse. I don’t think I’ll be buying another watch for many years to come.
Simple and easy to order through the webshop and fast shipping to Sweden, what more could you ask for?
The watch itself met my high expectations and will be a perfect companion for work and adventure. A nice touch is that the watch was set for local time and ready to go directly from the box!
All in all a very pleasant experience!
Very impressed with the watch, quality and nature strap very comfortable.
This G10 watch genuinely has all the necessary features to scratch the military itch.
Great stuff.
When I started to look at this watch ( and another since) I was quite hesitant on the price point for a quartz watch and so …I hit the google rabbit hole about the brand,its history and also a competitor that was selling similar looking watches for a third of the price. I reached out to CWC and Ollie was a star from the start. He was patient with my questions and sent pictures of the watches I was interested in and even did a QC check on second hand alignment on them to make sure there was no issues due to the quartz model. An emergency services discount was also a lovely gesture and the trigger was pulled!
The watch arrived the next day and its a stunning piece and oozes quality. The quartz movement fits into my collection nicely and the size/weight is perfect. As i write this another model has arrived ( seperate review to come ) so definitely a fanboy and its great to have a piece with heritage.
I highly recommend
Thanks Ollie and team CWC.
Really good quality.
As a person who loves to swap straps on his watches I have to say without hesitation that this strap is my all time favourite! Combined with the watch it was made for, the CWC Ti300 Titanium 5 Quartz Diver, it is supremely comfortable and as it is a Velcro one-piece strap you can adjust it to the perfect fit, and often throughout the day adjust it easliy. This strap works perfectly well on other watches too. But get it on your CWC, that’s what it’s made for.
I’m really pleased with my watch. It’s my second CWC and I imagine it won’t be my last. I’ve put the GS on a regimental striped strap and I love it. It’s comfy, rugged and will be able to deal with anything I put it through. CWC make great watches and Silvermans provide all the help you need. Don’t tell my wife, but I’ve now got my eye on one of the automatic Divers!
This watch is stunning. It’s everything you would expect from CWC. I’ve finally found a watch to fit perfectly on my original steel grey strap which l bought in 1977 when serving onboard a ship in the Royal Navy.
Ordered the watch on Saturday evening and it arrived Tuesday , so a fast delivery. First impressions on opening the box are amazing, it’s a fantastic reproduction of the original G10 and a watch I’ve wanted to add to my collection of watches for a while. If you like military / field watches splash the cash and get one ordered, I doubt you’ll be disappointed.
