SKU: ELVIA/DIV1AU

ELVIA first produced military specification diver watches of this type and case design in the 1970s for the French Marine Nationale (French Navy). This watch maintains the spirit of their original models.

ELVIA was an officially authorized military contractor to the Marine Nationale, alongside notable brands like Beuchat, Tudor, Rolex, Heuer, Luxia, MN Auricoste, Triton, and ZRC. Many companies, including ourselves and CWC, continue to use this case pattern today.

The current ELVIA watches are closely based on a case pattern originally made by the renowned Swiss case-making firm MRP S.A. Founded in 1953 and bought by Georges Hauert in 1979, MRP is now independently owned by Patrick Hauert.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..

In addition to ELVIA, watches using this case pattern have been produced by companies such as Precista, Nilax, and Heuer, who were predecessors to Tag Heuer and made the Heuer 844-1 in 1979. Chronosport manufactured the Sea Quartz 30, worn by Tom Selleck in Magnum PI. Currently, CWC and various other companies continue to use this design. This case pattern is historically significant and has stood the test of time, being in continuous production for over 40 years.

The watch measures 45mm including the crown and 40mm excluding the crown. It uses a 20mm military nylon webbing strap, compatible with various NATO strap variants.

Benefits of Sapphire Crystal:

Sapphire crystal is superior to standard mineral crystal due to its strength, shatter, and scratch resistance. This makes it ideal for military and security personnel, police officers, and those with active outdoor lifestyles, who account for over 70% of our customers. Sapphire crystals are heat-treated to remove internal stresses, enhancing durability. Although more expensive, sapphire is typically fitted to higher-end watches. Sapphire crystal's robustness and durability make it a preferred choice for those seeking reliability under adverse conditions, and it is now also used in the latest iPhone models.

MWC are official distributors for ELVIA watches.

    Nice Wallet
    Size: One Size, Color: Black
    This is a pretty nice wallet, although calling it 'minimalist' might be a stretch. With the availability of Apple Pay and others, and the decline of cash, there is no longer a need to carry all your credit cards and money in your pocket. There is also a trend to allow you to put a legal image of your Drivers License on your phone. So as a result, wallets are getting smaller and thinner. This wallet attempts to achieve that, but actually I could do without the cash pocket and also the completely unnecessary fold out flap for your drivers license. I thought this flap could just be slipped out of the wallet, but it's actually sewn into the top of the card seam. When I received the wallet, I carefully cut off the flap above the seam, along with a ridiculous number of sewn-in tags in multiple languages, and this worked out pretty well. I can carry this wallet in my front pocket fairly easily. So for the price, I am pretty satisfied. Prior to this I was using a card case with 4 slots which I may go back to at some point. I'd have to say that unlike this wallet, the card case is truly minimalist.

    Yes, Being A Man I was Forced To Buy A New Wallet After 18 Years!
    Yes, I had a wallet for 18 years, I even rebuilt it with tape when parts of it were falling apart. Even if the tape didn't match the color of the wallet I'm obviously so creative that I added to that old wallet with color! I know many of you are applauding me for sharing this idea so I thank you! Anyway, this is a nice solid well priced wallet & looks like my old one minus the tape. I highly recommend it. If only I had time, I'd share more ideas like how I fixed my leaky roof.

    Double stitched on edges
    Size: One Size, Color: Black
    It’s good quality and folds down small. I did cut out the inside flap with a clear plastic window so the wallet would fold flatter. It’s the only wallet I could find with double stitching. Seems good so far.
