Watchdives WD1980 Quartz Military Diver Watch V3

Classic Military Style. Slim 39mm Design. Everyday Comfort.

The Watchdives WD1980 V3 combines classic military field-watch styling with a compact, exceptionally slim stainless steel case.

Measuring 39mm in diameter, 45.5mm lug-to-lug and just 9.6mm thick including the crystal, it offers balanced proportions and comfortable everyday wear.

Classic Military Design & Full-Lume Bezel

A matte dial, bold hands and clear hour markers deliver excellent legibility, while BGW9 lume improves visibility in low-light conditions.

The 120-click unidirectional bezel with a fully lumed aluminum insert adds distinctive nighttime character and practical functionality.

Movement Options at a Glance

No-date versions use the Seiko Epson VH31 sweeping quartz movement, providing a smooth four-ticks-per-second sweep with quartz accuracy. Day-date versions use the Ronda 517 movement.

A sapphire crystal with AR coating, screw-down crown and versatile 20mm lug width complete the specification.

The WD1980 V3 offers a Ronda 517 day-date option alongside its VH31 no-date versions. If you prefer a no-date military-style watch with an asymmetrical case and a 200m water-resistance rating, compare the Watchdives WD1972 V2, which uses VH31 quartz.

Classic military character. Compact 39mm proportions. Just 9.6mm thick.

The Watchdives WD1980 brings the functional character of a classic military field watch into a compact, exceptionally slim 39mm case.

At 39mm in diameter, 45.5mm lug-to-lug and only 9.6mm thick including the crystal, it sits naturally on the wrist without feeling undersized — an easy choice for those who appreciate traditional field-watch proportions and everyday comfort.

Clear, Purposeful Design

The WD1980 stays true to what a good field watch should be: simple, direct and easy to read.

A matte dial, bold hands and clear markers provide excellent legibility, while strong BGW9 lume keeps the display highly visible after dark.

The fully lumed aluminum bezel adds a distinctive functional detail, glowing alongside the dial to give the WD1980 an unmistakable nighttime character.
