Citizen Mickey AstronautvsCWC (Cabot Watch Company) 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch

The Citizen Mickey Astronaut is praised for its highly detailed dial art with luminous Mickey and stars, and offers 100 meters of water resistance. Some owners question its legibility due to the dial design and note its large 42mm case diameter, with one measuring it closer to 45.8mm. The crown placement at 4 o'clock is found difficult to wind by one owner, though they still value the watch. Overall, owners appreciate the Citizen Mickey Astronaut for its unique dial art and robust water resistance, despite some concerns about case size and crown ergonomics.

Owners widely praise the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch for its bombproof, no-nonsense, toolish design and military connection, with the PVD finish being a liked feature. Reviewers highlight its highly legible, classic dial and durable, tool-like PVD-coated case that shows remarkable resilience. The Ronda 517 quartz movement is appreciated for grab-and-go reliability and good seconds hand accuracy, with one owner noting it aligns closely with indices. The 45mm case size and fixed spring bars are seen by some as positive for NATO strap wear. Some owners find the £700 price steep for a quartz watch, comparing it unfavorably to similarly specified alternatives. Overall, owners and reviewers rate the CWC (Cabot Watch Company) 1987 SBS Quartz Diver Re-Issue Watch highly for its rugged military aesthetics and reliable tool-watch functionality at its price point.
