Product Code: DIV/82PVD/AU/ND

These diver's watches are a modern remake of our 1980s model, featuring a black PVD stainless steel case. One variant of these watches was specifically remade for a U.S contractor who had secured a large sale to one of their clients. The watch boasts a robust black PVD stainless steel case and is equipped with a high-performance automatic 24-jewel self-winding movement. We have made several upgrades to the original design, such as a shatter and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and increased water resistance rating.

Special Covert PVD Finish

The covert matt black non-reflective PVD finish used for this watch is often specified in military contracts for special forces units, anti-terrorist units, and various covert operations. Unlike painted finishes on lower-quality watches that can fade or rub off, this PVD process alters the steel's color at a molecular level, ensuring durability even during heavy usage. However, the PVD finish can be damaged if the case is badly gouged or worn down by continuous heavy abrasion against hard surfaces.

Historical and Technical Background

Inspired by the 1980 UK MOD specification for automatic diver's watches (DEF STAN 66-4 [Part 1] Issue 3), this model retains key design elements such as the unidirectional bezel and boldly marked dial with tritium paint. The original MOD specification also called for a mineral glass crystal, as documented in the MOD file shown in the final two images. While staying true to the spirit of the original, this updated version incorporates modern improvements, such as the use of non-radioactive paint and the inclusion of sapphire crystal, as detailed below.

Benefits of Sapphire Crystal

Many customers ask about the benefits of sapphire crystal over standard mineral crystal. Synthetic sapphire is extremely strong, shatter-resistant, and scratch-resistant, making it ideal for military and security personnel, police officers, and active outdoor enthusiasts. These groups account for over 70% of our customer base.

Our observations show that over 90% of incidents involving cracked watch crystals occur with mineral glass. Even hardened mineral crystals do not match the durability of sapphire. Sapphire crystals are strengthened through a heat treatment process that removes internal stresses and are then coated with two layers of anti-reflective coating. While sapphire crystals are more expensive, they offer superior longevity, resilience, and performance, justifying their use in higher-end watches.


These models represent excellent value and are competitively priced for such a high-performance automatic watch. This watch combines the historical design and functional integrity of its predecessors with modern upgrades to meet the needs of today's professionals and enthusiasts.

* While the original watches used tritium, these new versions use Luminova, with the encircled "T" retained for historical accuracy.

    Good shirt
    Size: Small, Color: Black
    Very nice shirt, I usually wear medium but I had to get one size smaller. The small men size fits my collar great but the dryer might shrink it.

    It’s not Polo but a good shirt
    Size: X-Large, Color: White
    I too thought it was Ralph Lauren Polo but found out that it was US Polo Association. It is a bit boxy but fits well. It is a good quality shirt and a good value for the price. Runs true to size.

    Cute and stylish
    Size: Large, Color: Aqua Light
    Got this classic polo for my husband and he’s genuinely impressed. The fit is clean without being too tight, and the fabric feels soft but still holds its shape after washing, which is a big win. It has that polished, casual look that works for both everyday wear and slightly dressier occasions. He also mentioned it’s really comfortable, not stiff or scratchy like some polos can be. Overall, great quality for the price and definitely something he’ll keep reaching for.

    Great everyday polo
    Size: XX-Large, Color: White
    I picked up the U.S. Polo Assn. Men’s Classic Two-Button Pique Polo as a casual summer and golf shirt and ended up wearing it far more than I expected. The fit is true to size with a comfortable classic cut that isn’t too slim or baggy, and the lightweight pique cotton feels breathable and perfect for warm weather, whether you’re on the course or just running errands. For the price, the quality really surprised me—the fabric feels durable yet soft, the collar keeps its shape after washing, and the stitching looks solid without feeling cheap. The style is simple and versatile, easy to pair with jeans, shorts, or chinos, and the logo is noticeable but not over the top. After several washes there’s been no major shrinking or fading, especially when washed cold and air dried. Overall, this is an affordable, comfortable, and reliable polo that looks good and holds up well, and I’ll definitely be buying more colors.
