CWC 'GS2000' 6B RAF G10 Navigator
Excellent condition
£395.00
CWC produced Navigator G10s with date indicator from the first G10 iteration in 1980 and during subsequent iterations in the 1990s. Thin case G10 Navigators were supplied to MoD in small numbers in 1994, 1996 and 1997. In the mid-late 1990s (and subsequently) the same watches were supplied to the civilian market and it is known that some of these were ordered 'off the shelf' for official issue by individual units, and others were used by serving personnel as personal purchases.
In the early 2000s CWC produced a version of the G10 navigator intended for supply to the RAF, and with the 6B aircrew equipment stock code on the back. None were officially supplied for RAF use but there is anecdotal evidence that at least some were in use, whether from off-the-shelf or personal purchases is unknown. What was subsequently designated as the 'GS2000' differed from earlier G10 Navigators in a number of ways. Firstly it used luminova luminous compound, with the dial marked with the corresponding 'L', it had a solid case back with no battery hatch, and it used a Ronda 715 movement instead of an ETA. Early production watches had no serial number or date, but this example has a serial number and '12' production year marked on the back.
The watch has just been subject to a 'case service' as detailed in the condition report.
The watch is supplied on a grey heat bonded NATO strap.
The watch is in excellent condition. The case has some minor marks, on the edges of the lugs, underside of one lug and sides but overall very good. The case back is almost unmarked with some very light strap burn. The dial and hands are in perfect condition. The crystal is an OEM CWC crystal with matte tension ring. Please refer to the images to make your own judgement about the cosmetic condition of the watch. The images form an important part of the description.
The watch case was subject to a stripdown, clean and service in October 2026. The case parts were ultrasonically cleaned, the gaskets and battery were replaced.
The watch is absolutely suitable for everyday use, but it is vintage watch so is not recommended for sports or use in extreme conditions. The watch has not been pressure tested so water resistance is not guaranteed. This watch is covered by our non-waterproof 6 month guarantee.
