SKU: DIV2001/PVD/715LI

This model carries the NATO Stock Number 6645-99-969-5589, allocated by the UK Ministry of Defence codification agency. It is directly descended from MWC military divers produced from the early 1990s to 2004 and retains the highly regarded 1999–2001 pattern dial, widely considered the most legible configuration due to its uncluttered layout and excellent low-light visibility.

While the outward appearance remains faithful to the original issue watches, the modern version has been extensively upgraded to meet current operational standards.


Key Upgrades

  • Swiss Ronda 715Li movement – approximately 10-year battery life (replacing the earlier 5-year Ronda 705)
  • Sapphire crystal – vastly superior scratch and impact resistance compared to mineral glass
  • 120-click unidirectional bezel – improved timing precision and tactile control
  • Enhanced sealing and water resistance – suitable for professional diving

Because of its specification and reliability, the watch has been of ongoing interest to procurement agencies and is available to NATO forces through its NSN classification.


Military PVD Case Finish

The case features a military-spec black PVD treatment frequently specified for special forces and tactical use.

Unlike painted finishes used on lower-cost watches, PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) bonds to the steel at a molecular level. The result is:

  • Far greater wear resistance
  • No fading
  • No flaking

The finish will only show wear if the steel itself is deeply abraded (for example against rock or concrete surfaces during heavy field use).


Historic Case Design

The case design originates from a pattern produced in Switzerland in the late 1970s and used across multiple military and professional diving watches. It has remained in continuous production for over four decades because of its durability, ergonomics, and ease of servicing.

The current MWC version follows the original British MOD specification visually but incorporates modern materials and engineering improvements developed over the last 30 years.


Why Sapphire Crystal Matters

Synthetic sapphire is the most durable material used for watch crystals. It offers:

  • Exceptional scratch resistance
  • High impact resistance
  • Superior clarity

In real-world use, cracked crystals overwhelmingly occur on mineral glass watches. Sapphire is therefore strongly preferred by military personnel, police, security professionals, and outdoor users.

    Gorgeous
    Size: 9, Color: Tan
    These are so pretty! I ended up returning these because they were so tall and I couldn’t walk in them as good as I thought I was going to be able to. Besides that, they fit true to size and were comfortable.

    Wouldn’t recommend these sandals.
    I was really excited to try the Steve Madden Women's Wafer Heeled Sandals, but unfortunately, I’m disappointed with the quality. The sandals look great in photos, but when I received them, I noticed that the materials felt cheap and not as durable as I expected from a brand like Steve Madden. The straps are stiff, and they rubbed against my skin, causing discomfort after only a short amount of time. The fit also wasn’t great — they felt a bit tight, especially around the toes, which made them hard to wear for longer periods. While the heel height is cute, the overall construction doesn’t seem to provide enough support, which made walking in them less comfortable than I anticipated. For the price, I expected better quality and comfort. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend these sandals.

    Perfect black patent leather heel
    Size: 6.5, Color: Black Patent
    Definitely go up an entire size in these. I used to work at Steve Madden and can tell you with 100% confidence if you're ever buying one of their heels with a pointier toe, you need to go up an entire size or your foot is going to suffer. These are a perfect "high" stiletto, they're definitely not low and I wouldn't say they're a breeze to walk in unless you're used to heels. I will vouch for how comfortable they are though given the height and the shape - they're as comfortable as a heel like this could be for sure! If you have skinnier ankles, definitely recommend punching an extra hole in the strap.

    toe strap is tewww tight
    Size: 8, Color: Black
    I love the look of these heels, they’re super classy, elegant, simple, and most importantly I chose these because of the small platform at the base of the heel for a less painful experience. The onlyyyyyy issue I have is that the toe strap is so close to the front and tight (as you can see)!! I got the correct size but wish I didn’t have to stretch them out (which is almost impossible because that leather is stiff). The shoe is not very bendable but I personally like it because the shoe is sturdy.
