FOR SALE IS A SPECTACULAR SHARP LATE 60s EDMA 1000M SUPER SOUS MARINE CARIBBEAN DIVER.
-
CASE: HEAVY DUTY ROBUST ALL SOLID STEEL MONOCOQUE CASE MEASURING A HEARTY 40mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SCREW-DOWN CROWN. THIS WAS THE SAME CARIBBEAN CASE USED BY JENNY, AQUADIVE, AND OLLECH & WAJS. YOU GOTTA DIG THAT GORGEOUS YELLOW/BLACK BAKELITE DECOMPRESSION ROTATING BEZEL WHICH REALLY POPS WITH THAT BLUE DIAL.
-
DIAL: LATE 60s SWAGGER AT ITS BEST. REALLY HANDSOME MATTE BLUE DIAL ABSOLUTELY IS A SWEET LOOK. I LOVE THOSE CHUNKY APPLIED AQUASTAR STYLE STEEL MARKERS WHICH GIVE THIS DIAL SOME DIMENSION. CHECK OUT THAT GROOVY WHITE STICK HANDSET WITH NICELY PRESERVED TRITIUM WHICH MATCHES WELL WITH THE LUME FILLED MARKERS. I LOVE THE FRENCH DAY WHEEL IN BLACK AND THE DATE IN RED WHICH ADDS A BIT OF WHIMSY. ALL VIEWED UNDER THE ORIGINAL HI-DOME PLEXI.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS DIVER RUNS ON A HI-GRADE A.SCHILD AUTOMATIC. THIS ONE WAS SUPPOSEDLY SERVICED IN 2019, AND IT'S BEEN RUNNING LIKE AN ABSOLUTE PEACH FOR ME OBSERVED OVER DAYS BOTH ON AND OFF THE WRIST. CROWN IS A SPLIT STEM AND CAN BE A BIT FINICKY BUT IS TOTALLY FUNCTIONAL.
THIS DIVER COMES ON A VINTAGE BRANDO STYLE RUBBER STRAP WHICH IS A KILLER COMBO. THIS IS REALLY THE ULTIMATE TOOL WATCH HOUSED IN AN ABSOLUTE TANK OF A CASE. THIS THING IS A BLAST TO WEAR AND KICKS SOME SERIOUS ASS!
