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, and the SBS divers sit at the sharp end of that history.
This model is the 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re‑Issue, based on the original black diver commissioned for the Special Boat Service in 1987. The original issued watches are among the rarest British military dive watches, with only a very small number surviving, and this re‑issue stays deliberately close to the original MOD specification. It is an uncompromising watch, built around a black PVD‑coated steel case, fixed bars and a clear, highly legible dial with sword hands and day‑date display.
The SF300‑87 is very much a purpose‑built tool watch. Water resistance is rated to 300 metres, the bezel is unidirectional with luminous markings, and the case construction is robust rather than refined. Power comes from a Swiss Ronda quartz movement chosen for accuracy and reliability rather than novelty.
Condition and performance
The watch is in very good condition with some signs of wear.
Supplied on a Sigma bracelet with showing light marks consistent with wear. Complete with all spare links boxed and with tools. Also comes with its original NATO in great condition.
Comes boxed with owner’s manual, cleaning cloth and warranty booklet/card. covering letter, original invoice, service documentation.
