TaWaTec Titan Diver Tactical (this happens to be the) Blue.
This Military Inspired Diver is available in 4 basic configurations;
1. Full (non coated) Titanium Case, case back, crown and bezel
2. Full PVD coated titanium case, case back, crown and bezel
With either the heart beat of an;
1. Swiss Sellita SW 200 Automatic with hacking feature (self-winding mechanism, 26 Jewels, 28'800 vibrations per hour, Incabloc shock protection, power reserve 42 hours)
2. Swiss Ronda Cal 515 (Special features: Metal movement, repairable / Power saving mechanism with pulled out stem: Reduction of consumption approximately 70%)
The other variations are the color of the tritium (or combination there of), and for thoughs who like the option of choosing straps which also allows for different price points. A rubber dive strap, Nato, bund, or a titanium bracelet.
Base Specs;
44mm case w/o crown, 15mm height, 22mm lug width
Water resistance; 30ATM/300 meters (990 feet)

As previously mentioned the two subtle (IMO important) differences while doing my research (which was shown only in two European based websites or online shops).
1. A black date wheel vs. white (which is shown on most websites)
2. “Swiss Made” is written on the dial vs. “Swiss Movement” (again, which is shown on most websites)
I couldn’t describe it better then what’s written in Mr. Bernd Ewerlin’s website,
“The new Swiss Made TAWATEC - Automatic Titan Diver is the newest generation of tactical watches by TAWATEC AG Biel / Bienne Switzerland“.
… as well as Mr. Bernd Ewerlin confirmed in our correspondence (at which time also confirmed the model of it’s Swiss Ronda Quartz);
“Tawatec is since 5 or 6 month to 100% Swiss Made, before then it had been Swiss Movement as you know”
I’ve worn this watch for a week now, and I’m happy to say that it did not disappoint. This watch will be with me for a long while and has now taken on the duties of being my daily work watch.
If you live or work, (spending most of your time out doors) in a hot or humid climate, I would highly recommend the comfort of titanium bracelet. Can’t wait for winter, so I can experiment with a few other straps, but so long as it’s between 90 and a 100 degrees “all” night. The Ti stays on!
Pros: Easy to read large nicely laid out dial (cohesive black date wheel) and feel of the bezel action, Ti case, 9 o’clock crown, “Blue” tritium tubes, even application of it’s PVD coating throughout the entire package, baton style hands, and it’s overall design as well as it wears extremely well. And this quartz is spot on with US gov atomic time!
Cons: No drilled lugs, (if you go with the Ti bracelet, it could be just me but) the way the outside link exit’s the lugs seem a bit od, larger tubes on the Pip and second hand would be nice, and a few numbers on the bezel between the 20 and 35 is just a hair off (could be mine, but it’s not a problem for me. My Vortex is the same).
In conclusion; IMO the overall build an design works very well and as mentioned is my daily wear watch!
Lastly, since I didn’t know about nor wasn’t able to locate information about Milwatches.com. I contacted Swiss Military Watch directly to confirm if Milwatches.com was an AD. After receiving SMW’s conformation, I immediately contacted Mr. Bernd Ewerlin to ask a few questions. Mr. Ewerlin answered my emails and questions promptly and was a pleasure to deal with. Once hitting that proverbial order button, Bernd and Rita processed my order efficiently, insuring my watch was on it’s way from Germany, to Arizona without delay!

Note: If you look to the left of the web page, you can select to show the price of the watch in either, EU, GBP, or USD (however the price shown will include the 19% VAT).
If you register, then log into the site. It will show the USD price "without" or "exclude" the 19% VAT.
Thanks for your time!
NOTE: If you rather have the crown positioned at the 3 o'clock side of the case, look at SWM's version of the Titan (cept no PVD version).
... Yeah, if this performs as expected, I plan on wearing this one out! ...
