Year is 2019....
... consequently not issued.
Last issued year for the RN300 is 2000
Yours is a 1983 reissued ... meaning homage with the former 83 RN300 specs
CWC could be troubling indeed ^^
CWC diver
New acquisition, CWC issued diver RN300 ... serial number 300, batch 1997, possibly the last one issued this year as no higher number has not been seen so far (until proven otherwise) RN300 SN 300/300, how cool is that ? (Pic from previous owner) Not a qu...
Issued from 1981, mechanical movements at first, then quartz from 1983...
... and were issued until 2000 An interesting thread from Watchlovr : omegaforums.net /
Even with broad arrow and the unit/warehouse/issue numbers
i assume this is not a genuine military issue, rather an homage to military wristwatches? On the website they offer for sale for a very reasonable price what seems to be new watches with military markings.

Hi Fred...
CWC have a proud history of supplying the military. As you know they make very tough and reliable watches. This is one of my CWC’s owned by a Harrier Pilot who flew in the Falklands war. ...
Issued chronograph too, 1974 ;)
I do prefer my sterile Hamilton from 1973 though. Both are Royal Navy issued ...
That’s the wonder of our passion....
Always something else to work towards adding to our collections. I have a list but the problem is it keeps getting longer ) ... you know the feeling 🧛♂️
I’ve never noticed it...

Great to see an issued CWC posted here...
...I have a 99 like yours, a 92 CWC SBS-issued diver with SBS papers of the owner (he was SAS but did a tour with SBS), an 88 and 93 Precista diver, Seiko Gen 1 and 2 -- all quartz and I love them! That said, I just cheated on the CWC quartz theme by pick...
