SKU: DIV2001/DD/SS

MWC first manufactured the predecessor to this 300m/1000ft water-resistant diver's watch between the early 1990s and 2004. While some details, such as the dial design, changed over that period, the 1999-2001 pattern dial remains the clear winner due to its easily readable, uncluttered layout and first-rate nighttime performance. This watch retains that original dial pattern, and while the original watches used tritium, these new versions use Luminova, which is free of radioactive elements.

Rediscovery and Remake

Although this watch was discontinued by MWC 20 years ago, an interesting turn of events occurred when an MWC distributor in Australia discovered 500 brand-new watches in their storeroom. These watches, made between 1999 and 2001, were part of a procurement contract. When the distributor's son conducted a detailed stock check, these watches came to light. We were offered the opportunity to buy them back, and their popularity prompted us to remake the watch in the same design with significant upgrades.

Upgrades and Improvements

Advances in watch manufacturing over the past 20 years allowed us to enhance the overall specifications:

  • Crystal: Upgraded from hardened mineral glass to sapphire, which is highly scratch and shatter-resistant.
  • Bezel: Upgraded to a 120-click bezel versus the earlier 60 or 90-click versions.
  • Movement: Introduction of the Swiss Ronda 517 Day/Date movement with a 45-month battery life.

Historical Case Design

These watches are closely based on a case design originally made by the renowned Swiss case-making firm MRP S.A. Founded in 1953, MRP is now independently owned by Patrick Hauert. The case design has remained largely unchanged since the late 1970s. More information can be found on their website: MRP S.A..

Notable Users and Legacy

This case pattern has been used by various companies, including Precista, Nilax, Elvia, and Heuer (predecessors to Tag Heuer). Notable models include the Heuer 844-1 (1979) and the Chronosport Sea Quartz 30, worn by Tom Selleck in Magnum PI. Elvia continues to produce watches using this case, and MWC is a factory-authorized distributor for this brand. CWC and other companies also continue to use this case design, which has been in continuous production for over 40 years.

The basic design of this specific MWC watch goes back to the British Ministry of Defence (MOD) specification.

Benefits of Sapphire Crystal

Synthetic sapphire is the best material for watch crystals due to its strength and shatter and scratch resistance. These characteristics make it very appealing to military and security personnel, police officers, and active outdoor enthusiasts, who account for over 70% of our customers. Over 90% of cracked crystal incidents involve watches with mineral glass crystals. Even hardened mineral crystals do not match sapphire's durability under adverse conditions. Sapphire crystals are heat-treated to remove internal stresses, enhancing their strength, and are made into watch crystals with two layers of anti-reflective coating. While more expensive, sapphire crystal is typically fitted to higher-end watches and is now used in the latest iPhone models.

Simple, durable, and a great buy for active dogs. 🐕🎾
Size: 3 PCS, Size: 3 PCS
These are exactly what I look for in a simple dog toy. The balls are made from a durable rubber material that feels sturdy enough for regular play, while still having enough give to be safe and comfortable for dogs to carry in their mouths. They bounce well, are easy to throw, and have held up nicely during play sessions. I also like the bright colors. The orange, blue, and yellow make them easy to spot in grass, at the park, or in the backyard, which means less time searching and more time playing. The textured surface gives dogs something easy to grip, and the size works well for medium to larger dogs. They feel much more substantial than the bargain-bin tennis balls that seem to fall apart after a few outings. Perhaps the best part is the value. For the price, getting three durable rubber balls is a great deal. Dog toys can get expensive quickly, and this set provides a lot of entertainment without costing much. Overall, these are durable, colorful, fun, and appear safe for everyday play. Combined with the very reasonable price point, they represent an excellent value for dog owners.

Really rough and tough and able to endure some pretty gnarly chewing!
Size: 3 PCS
These are some really stout, durable, tuff balls that are designed to endure some pretty rough chewers! They don't have the best bounce capability. If you throw one down onto pavement, it's not going to bounce back to you the same way a tennis ball would. It's probably got about half the comeback as a tennis ball, so to get the same return you would have to throw it about twice as hard as you would a tennis ball. But the balls were not designed to bounce around, they were designed to throw to your dog and play fetch and be able to endure some pretty rough gnawing and chewing while your dog is returning the ball to you. I have a 30 lb westie, and these balls are pretty much the perfect size for his medium size chomper. He is able to pick the ball up and carry it around with great ease, he is able to catch it in the air with no problem. Now my little 12 lb chihuahua is not able to carry the ball around, his mouth is just too small too be able to pick the ball up. In my opinion the asking price for these balls is really fair and reasonable! I would absolutely recommend this product to my friends and family!!

Nice quality balls for heavy chewers that are easy to clean
Size: 3 PCS, Size: 3 PCS
Nice quality heavy duty balls for strong chewers. I love that these don't have those holes in them that so many balls do that collect grossness and dirt. These are solid and easy to clean. My 9 week old puppy can pick them up and carry them around from the side of her mouth. But the next door 5 year old Labrador is obsessed with them. But then again he is obsessed with balls in general. I just like that these seem to hold less gunk than the others we give him to play with frequently. And they seem to have help up to his chewing just fine. They are reasonably priced for a set of 3 and the colors are nice and visible in the grass which is important. I would be careful to pick them up before mowing the lawn because these are solid and somewhat heavy and I could definitely see a mower just slinging them through a window or off your siding. Overall a nice set of balls that are easy for a human to throw and fit the hand comfortably. They are easy to clean and they are apparently appreciated by the local retrieval expert next door.

Finally, a Ball Our Aggressive Chewer Loves and Hasn’t Destroyed Instantly!
Size: 3 PCS
We’ve gone through more dog toys than I care to admit, because our dog treats them like a personal demolition project! Since she’s a very aggressive chewer, I usually don’t expect toys to last long, so these balls were a really pleasant surprise. They were an instant hit for fetch, chase, and chew time. I love that they have a nice bounce that keeps playtime fun and unpredictable, and the bright colors make them easy to spot in the yard instead of disappearing into the grass. Best of all, they’ve held up far better than many other dog toys we’ve tried. Normally I’m cleaning up shredded toy remains within minutes, but these have proven to be much tougher. Of course, no toy is truly indestructible with a determined chewer, but these have definitely impressed me and earned their place in our toy rotation. If you have a dog that loves interactive play and tends to destroy toys at record speed, these are absolutely worth trying. Easy 5 stars from our house!
