ELVIA Automatic Military Divers Watch with Sapphire Crystal and 24 Jewel Automat

From Cooper Watches

Description SKU: ELVIA/SB/DIV/AU ELVIA first produced military-specification dive watches in the 1970s for the French Marine Nationale (French Navy). This model retains the character and utilitarian design of those original issued watches while incorporating substantial modern upgrades for durability and reliability in everyday use. Among the improvements over the 1970s models are a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, a ceramic bezel insert, and significantly increased water resistance. Whereas the original watches were rated to approximately 200m, this version is water-resistant to 300m (1000ft), making it suitable for serious diving and demanding professional environments. ELVIA was an officially authorised supplier to the Marine Nationale alongside other well-known military contractors including Beuchat, Tudor, Rolex, Heuer, Auricoste, Triton and ZRC. The watch measures 40mm excluding the crown (45mm including the crown) and is fitted with a 20mm military nylon webbing strap compatible with NATO-style straps.
