This week in the Dispatch, subject matter expert Jonathan Hughes shares a detailed history of the CWC SBS, a watch designed for United Kingdom SpecOps in the 1980s and is still issued to the Ministry of Defense to this day. A watch close to our community, many aspects of the SBS’s history have been shrouded in mystery, at least until today.

The latest iteration of the official MoD special ops diver’s watch, though, is a blacked-out, day-date, quartz diver from CWC. Officially known as the “UKSF” watch, it is commonly referred to as the “SBS” after the unit that first ordered it, the Special Boat Service. The specification for “Watch, Wrist, Divers, Day and Date Electronic” was signed in April 1987 by the officer commanding the Operational Research Unit of the Royal Marines in Poole, the home base of the SBS. It called for a watch “of rugged construction and able to withstand submersion, shock, and vibrations incident to service use in sea depths down to 300 metres”. It would have a case “manufactured from high-quality corrosion-resistant non-magnetic stainless steel finished to a durable matt black” and a “rotatable elapsed time bezel capable of being turned and set by hand.
