Product Code: DIV/82PVD/AU/ND

These diver's watches are a modern remake of our 1980s model, featuring a black PVD stainless steel case. One variant of these watches was specifically remade for a U.S contractor who had secured a large sale to one of their clients. The watch boasts a robust black PVD stainless steel case and is equipped with a high-performance automatic 24-jewel self-winding movement. We have made several upgrades to the original design, such as a shatter and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and increased water resistance rating.

Special Covert PVD Finish

The covert matt black non-reflective PVD finish used for this watch is often specified in military contracts for special forces units, anti-terrorist units, and various covert operations. Unlike painted finishes on lower-quality watches that can fade or rub off, this PVD process alters the steel's color at a molecular level, ensuring durability even during heavy usage. However, the PVD finish can be damaged if the case is badly gouged or worn down by continuous heavy abrasion against hard surfaces.

Historical and Technical Background

Inspired by the 1980 UK MOD specification for automatic diver's watches (DEF STAN 66-4 [Part 1] Issue 3), this model retains key design elements such as the unidirectional bezel and boldly marked dial with tritium paint. The original MOD specification also called for a mineral glass crystal, as documented in the MOD file shown in the final two images. While staying true to the spirit of the original, this updated version incorporates modern improvements, such as the use of non-radioactive paint and the inclusion of sapphire crystal, as detailed below.

Benefits of Sapphire Crystal

Many customers ask about the benefits of sapphire crystal over standard mineral crystal. Synthetic sapphire is extremely strong, shatter-resistant, and scratch-resistant, making it ideal for military and security personnel, police officers, and active outdoor enthusiasts. These groups account for over 70% of our customer base.

Our observations show that over 90% of incidents involving cracked watch crystals occur with mineral glass. Even hardened mineral crystals do not match the durability of sapphire. Sapphire crystals are strengthened through a heat treatment process that removes internal stresses and are then coated with two layers of anti-reflective coating. While sapphire crystals are more expensive, they offer superior longevity, resilience, and performance, justifying their use in higher-end watches.


These models represent excellent value and are competitively priced for such a high-performance automatic watch. This watch combines the historical design and functional integrity of its predecessors with modern upgrades to meet the needs of today's professionals and enthusiasts.

* While the original watches used tritium, these new versions use Luminova, with the encircled "T" retained for historical accuracy.

    Outstand Product!! 😉
    Color: 14AWG-1 Lead
    This is my second (at least) Nilight wiring harness. I wanted to re-do the lights on my Rhino 660. This makes it SO EASY! 👍🏼😉 And a hell-of-a-deal!! All I had to get was a "reamer" drill bit to enlarge the switch holes on my dash. Run the wire, attach the ends to the light, switch & power source, all done. I did add "shrink tubing" to my connections to add an extra layer of insulation/weatherproofing. 👍🏼

    Definitely a good buy very professional craftsmanship
    Color: 14AWG-1 Lead
    As a retired master technician for Honda and all makes and models of automobiles this harness is a cut above the others is put together immaculately and anyone that can put a wire through the firewall I purchased my light bar to harbor freight 22 in great lighting but their harness kit was 56 bucks I paid under 24 this and it looked identical except the switch on this is actually much more appealing cosmetically and works well functionally just had to drill a hole in one of the blanks 4 switches in my truck made it fit perfect and has worked flawlessly since I put it in a couple weeks agodefinitely do your homework sometimes I find great deals at harbor freight that nobody can touch on Amazon but then other times vice versa Amazon has a great product at a great price compared to harbor freight in other retailers

    Perfect for roof LED light bar
    Color: 14AWG-1 Lead
    This worked great for wiring a 50" LED light bar to the roof of my SUV. This kit conveniently includes a relay, switch with backlight, and fuses. I used a step bit to drill the pilot hole for the switch and worked my way up until it was the right size. I zip tied the excess wire and it made for a clean install. My only complaint is that the ring terminals were too large for the battery but it was easy to crimp smaller ones on.

    Good harness
    Color: 14AWG-1 Lead, Color: 14AWG-1 Lead
    I bought this for the nilight 12in bar. It came in the same box and right on time. It easily connected to the light bar and into the engine. There is a lot of slack between the battery terminals and the bar, but it’s understandable if maybe you wanted to mount this on the back of your vehicle. I wish there was more slack between the relay and the switch, as having to go from the battery through the firewall and into the cabin requires sufficient length. I ended up getting rid of the circular switch that came with it and it’s complimentary connectors to replace it with my own rectangular rocket switch that fit better in the cabin. Overall good product. I’d advise to wrap electrical tape around the quick disconnect to prevent any weather wear.
