Quick facts
Description
Cabot Watch Company is a British brand founded in 1972 and best known for producing watches supplied directly to the UK Ministry of Defence. Unlike brands that imitate military styling, CWC has genuine issued provenance, having supplied watches to the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and British Army for decades. Their designs are governed by specification and function rather than fashion.
This model is the CWC RAF Quartz Chronograph, based on watches issued to Royal Air Force personnel. The layout is as straightforward as you’d expect: clear dial, no unnecessary detail and a tri‑compax format that prioritises legibility over style. The asymmetrical case is distinctive and purely functional, designed to protect the pushers and crown rather than make a statement.
Power comes from a Swiss quartz chronograph movement, chosen for accuracy and reliability. Like most CWC watches, it’s not trying to do anything clever, it just works. Everything about it is driven by use rather than appearance, which is exactly the point.

The watch is in very good condition with light signs of wear.
Case: No issues of note
Bezel: No issues of note
Crystal: Clear, no marks
Supplied on its original NATO in great condition.
