SWC ARK blue/red. Jacob was unbelievably helpful. Both watch and service of the highest calibre. Pre/post sales service were excellent given that on a whim I enquired despite the site saying they had none. Jacob sourced the aforementioned ARK. What is amazing is somehow it got to me in 4 days that simply never happens especially Nevada to South Australia. First impressions are wow on the watch and the band just fit on my thick hands and 7.5 inch wrists. The second band is white an essentially useless, the pouch is a PU leather or perhaps nubock and only one curved spring bar none of this matters. The watch sits bigger than a normal 39mm. It is so light and I have two other titanium watches neither are as light – it is my go to watch, my EDC, and frankly I may never take it off cos I will forget I have it on its that light. Easy to read – what a watch, what a value, what service. Now do I want the Bunker..hmmm

More watch than what I was expecting! Super light weight and thin. Awesome lume and a very comfortable strap. Great leather travel case (which I wasn’t expecting) Also included a hand written thank you note! Really impressed and would highly recommend .

Received my SWC Bunker Green/Grey yesterday night and its less than 24 hours old, but so far it is one magnificent watch and I totally love it. One of the great things about the Bunker is how it flawlessly combines its utilitarian aspects with a clean and elegant Grade 2 Titanium Case housing a Selita SW200 movement beating at 28,800bpm. The watch is undeniably beautiful, which is not a very common trait of field watches. The entire case, case back. bezel and crown are all Titanium Grade 2. The watch does has a completely matte finish, however SWC have made the effort to add a little twist, with a tasteful bevelled edge, that runs down and slightly twists over the edge of each (drilled) lug. The Bunker has a water resistance rating of 100m, which is a more than acceptable WR rating for any field watch.

The SWC Nylon Velcro strap, front and back is the one I love the most. Elastic and soft, these exclusive straps loop through the lugs without passing under the watch, which in turn means you don’t get the added height that a NATO strap gives you so often. And to top it all they cost less than $10.

The lume on the SWC Bunker is one the best lume I’ve ever seen and very close to my Zelos Mako V3 Diver which has a C3 X1 grade lume. The Bunker also has a top of the line X1 Grade Swiss Super-LumiNova® BLW10 which is basically the equivalent of BGW9 at a X1 Grade Level. The Bunker is undoubtedly the ‘King of BLW10 Lume‘. Have ordered the titanium bracelet for my Bunker and anxiously waiting for it to be shipped sometime in December. The service and response time of all the guys at SWC is impeccable. The watch arrived to Singapore in 8 days well packed and shipped via UPS.

Diver Mk. II (blue version). I love SWC divers so much I bought this to add to my light brown Diver II and I will either buy a black/orange version soon or wait for other color ways(?) or both…..nuff said?
A note on the horizontal lined “box” in the center of the dial that some reviewers pick nits about (which my blue one has but my brown one does not) I don’t even notice it so I would have to say it is a non issue for me

In my opinion, this watch is more than just a value proposition, it’s a beautiful, well built and accurate timepiece. The more I wear it the more I find myself appreciating the fine details and how those details contribute to the overall design of the watch.   I initially thought I would wear it’s beautiful bracelet exclusively but after trying on the included strap I was surprised at not only how comfortable it was but the sporty and playful look it gave to the watch. I am very satisfied with this watch and am happy to have done business with a company that cleary puts pride into their products.

My review is for the light brown version,
My rating would be 4 1/2 stars if I had the option of he 1/2*, the deduction of a half point is due to the strap which I am not a fan of (I’m a bracelet guy). I have an extensive collection of dive watches and this is one of my favs! It compares to some that several times the asking price. This is my only “root beer” colorway watch and I love it!

I have been wearing my diver for a few days now and it is a wonderful watch. I have no complaints at all except for maybe the capsa pins. But after watching SWC’s video on how to remove and reinstall it was simple. The watch is running about 2 seconds slow which is better than my Submariner well built solid and worth far more than 500.00. To say I am impressed is an understatement. Also you will not find a better bunch of people either. They are great and care about their customers. If I only liked chronographs. I know who I would but from

The easiest statement to say if you are looking at the Bunker and thinking about making a purchase is:
Buy it, you will not be sorry!

The Bunker is fantastic! Readability and wearability are right at the top of the list. The attention to detail is evident. The Roemers are great people to work with, attentive, quick to respond to questions or concerns and producers of high quality time pieces. The overall design is very pleasing and functional.

Do not hesitate to purchase your Bunker in the dial of your choice. If you are looking and like what you see then you will love the watch when you make the purchase and receive it. Great watch!

FYI: the SWC Velcro straps are really nice and extremely comfortable

The Black Diver MK2 is one of the best made watches I have ever owned. The build quality on this piece is better than my Omega Planet Ocean. The design and styling is TOP NOTCH. The clasp and bracelet are absolutely amazing. I already own the bunker and the sport model is on the way…….there will be a EPIC battle for wrist time for these three great timepieces! Such an awesome problem to have!! Thank you Roemer family for all that you do. Keep up the great work…you have gained a family of watch lovers (me and my three sons) as loyalists forever!

The best price for money in the markets. An incredible quality at every level. Ceramic insert, 30 ATM water resistant, a Swiss Sw movement, a nice and very powerful lume. The price of this watch is very attractive. Christmas before Christmas

Have the watch 8 weeks perfect and good looking. Running is within 2 seconds a day. Was on vacation with it to Dubai seen son see and pool better you cannot test it. And I can tell you it has surpassed my expectations. People in Dubai ask me about the watch when they seen it in the beginning they told me it looks like an omega. But when they looked closer they told has its own face. And that is also what I think when I look at the watch. You nailed it with this watch. The Lume out of the ordinary and because of the domed sapphire the dial is looking great. I like the round square line dial. The case and the ceramic bezel are spot on. The back engraving is very well done. And I have no compliance about the bracelet looks good and fits the watch. Last thing I want to say the contact with the company was perfect. Thanks for making and sending me this beautiful and for the price perfect diver.

I took delivery of the MKII diver (black) 2 weeks ago. It is better in person, as always. The finishing is superb (mostly brushed, but the polished scallops on the bezel, chamfers on the lugs, and the edges on the center link on the bracelet are just magnificent). Clear and easy to read dial, and the lume performs as advertised (incredible…). It does wear a bit smaller than dimensions would suggest (I have watches ranging from 40-46 mm, and this wears/feels smaller than a 44 mm, which is great). The customer service is superb, so an all-around pleasure.

I love the value and design. I am waiting for smaller versions, 40, 41, 42mm with thickness under 12.5mm. I know a lot of people wish the same …

I love the design and the high quality! Very good job!

Truly a beautiful easy to read and a pleasure to wear. The brown bunker hasn’t come off my wrist since the day I set it. I am a night shift respiratory therapist, and keeping time is important, and the lume is amazing when working in dimly lit units. Fit and finish is very clean and the titanium allows me to forget I’m wearing it.
This is destined to be a classic!

exactly as shown on website
swc adjusted band size to fit my wrist before shipping
only problem….could not get clasp to work
until seeing that it was wrapped in clear plastic
happy with purchase

The DLC Black Bunker arrived and I am one very satisfied customer. For me, this is the perfect field watch. The lume is outstanding! The fact that SWC is offering such premium quality at this price point is insane. Couldn’t be happier with this watch.

Beautiful watch! The color scheme with orange is breathtaking and really pops. Upon examination, it is evident that SWC makes extremely high quality watches that are more than worth the asking price when compared to other watches in the same price range.

I own the Orange/Black MKII as well as the Black Bunker and could not be more satisfied with both. SWC customer service is second to none and it it always a pleasure communicating with any of the Roemers.
