We have obtained the quantity required of TOP GRADE ETA 2824-2 automatic movements to complete the limited edition 1980 RN divers watches. This watch will come supplied with an original 1980s movement holder and is as close as you can get to an original issued version without spending in excess of £20,000.
The remaining serial numbers are random, ranging from the 100s up to the 500s and years /18 to /22; they will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

The first 1980 reissues were released in 2017 and most have been supplied with standard ETA 2824-2 movements; these remaining few are all Top Grade.

"The 1980 RN Divers Automatic originally issued to RN Clearance Divers, NSN 0552/9237697. This watch actually superseded the Rolex MilSub on the wrists of Royal Navy divers, and its first version, with a self-winding mechanical movement, is far rarer than the Rolex it replaced."  Search CWC on Hodinkee.com for the article.
