Born to Dive! New Edition SWC MILSPEC©️

Navy Clearance Diver II

Welcome to SWC's 3rd campaign! and we are back for more!

After the successful launch of the 1st Campaign the 'Navy Clearance Diver'; we fulfilled and distributed all our pledges on schedule well within 8 weeks with great feedback - thanks! 

The Milspec Navy Clearance Diver 1st Edition of 2020 has since then been offered on general sale and sold to serving members and veterans of the RAN, RN and US Navy. We are proud of our achievements, but it would not of been possible without Kickstarter; the community and of course the backers, to which we are truly grateful. The Navy Clearance Diver II is an improved version, we have a functioning prototype and we need your backing to bring it into production, so we are back! And in appreciation for your backing we can offer 40% + off RRP.

Why the reissue of the Navy Clearance Diver?

SWC's Milspec Navy Clearance Diver I was hugely successful, assembled in the UK with watch components sourced from various suppliers, this ensures we minimize any operational risk in the event any supplier failures or delays. After distribution we received praise for the quality and reliability of the 1st Edition.

The feedback collected in 2022 from professional and recreational divers that were working/exploring in low light underwater conditions suggested improvements on the dial color and the size of the hands to improve visibility.  SWC took onboard all the feedback and decided to redesign the watch to meet these requirements.

MILSPEC Navy Clearance Diver II

The MILSPEC Navy clearance diver II still retains the vintage looks synonymous to the classical dive watches from the 1960’s that we all love.  Applying a new orange minute hand, white dial the 2nd Edition still retains this vintage style with modern day reliability and materials, such as sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel. 

Price Point

The Milspec Navy Clearance Diver II offers significant value for money. To really understand this we need to look at the modern day dive watches in the current market. Modern dive watches are increasingly getting expensive, primarily due to branding and  associated marketing, these are the driving factors that add considerable costs to the retail value not to mention maintenance. 

These factors add nothing to enhance the product’s functionality, in fact, as a tool watch the luxury refinements does nothing more than create a fear of damaging the watch due to the potential costs of repair.

What makes this project exciting for SWC is that we are able to manufacture and supply this watch with a high quality finish on the case, high polish on the sides and crown, brushed steel on the lug face, use of sapphire crystal, ceramic 120 click bezel; all expensive processes usually reserved for the more luxurious sport watch brands. 

Functionality 

The MILSPEC Navy 'Clearance Diver II' offers 300m/1000ft waterproofness from a 316L 41mm casing with screw down case back and ISO screw down crown

A Unidirectional 120 click Ceramic bezel, with ZERO play is certainly an indicator to the quality and reliability! Markers having blue Swiss Super-LumiNova® BGW9 for better eligibility in low light condition or poor diving water conditions, we use Swiss C3 green lume for the hands to really bring out the distinction between time and time elapsed when diving or operating in poor light conditions.

Powered by the reliable workhorse from Seiko NH35 to ensure reliability.
