ELVIA Automatic Military Divers Watch
ELVIA was an authorized military contractor to the French Navy's Marine Nationale and made military specification divers in the 70s.
This new Elvia release is an authentic reworking of the original design. The stainless steel case resembles the earlier watches - the originals having been made by Swiss manufacturer MRP S.A. It's a familiar style, favoured by other contemporary brands like Precista, Nilax and Heuer.
