IT IS MY PLEASURE TO OFFER UP FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION THIS REALLY NICE 60s LEGANT CHRONOMASTER AVIATOR SEA DIVER IN FANTASTIC CONDITION.
-
CASE: HEFTY SOLID STEEL CASE IN VERY GOOD UNPOLISHED CONDITION. THIS GUY MEASURES A NICE 39mm ACROSS BEZEL NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 46mm LUG TO LUG. I LOVE THESE CASD CASES WHICH HAVE THOSE SUPER COOL BEVELED EDGES. THIS ONE IS IN EXCEPTIONALLY NICE CONDITION WITH SOME MINOR HAIRLINES THROUGHOUT BUT ALL THE LINES ARE SHARP AND CRISP ON THIS ONE. I DIG THAT SCUBA-DUDE ON THE CASEBACK. THE ROTATING MILITARY STYLE DUAL SCALE BEZEL IS IN REALLY CLEAN SHAPE WITH ONLY SOME MILD SCRATCHES SEEN BUT NO SIGNS OF WEAR OR FADE.
-
DIAL: THESE YACHTING DIALS ARE REALLY SOME OF THE BEST IN THE VINTAGE WATCH WORLD. I LOVE THAT MATTE BLACK DIAL WITH THOSE SUNKEN SUBDIALS. BUT, IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MINUTE TOTALIZER SUBDIAL WITH THE BLUE/PINK COUNTDOWN SEGMENTS WHICH REALLY CATCH YOUR EYE. THE AGED TRITIUM ON THIS ONE IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT AND CONSISTENT IN ITS CREAMY TONE THROUGHOUT THE DIAL AND HANDS. YOU GOTTA LOVE THAT ORANGE LOLLIPOP SWEEPER WHICH REALLY GIVES THIS ONE A TON OF CHARACTER. THE ORIGINAL DOMED CRYSTAL DOES HAVE SOME MINOR SHALLOW SCRATCHES WHICH I WAS ABLE TO BUFF OUT ALMOST COMPLETELY AFTER I TOOK THESE PHOTOS.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS SLEEK DIVE CHRONO IS POWERED BY A SWISS 17J VALJOUX 7733. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT I'VE BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF TIME WITH THIS ONE, AND IT'S BEEN BEHAVING PERFECTLY ON/OFF OF MY WRIST.
- THIS LEGANT IS MOUNTED ON A UNCLE SEIKO TROPIC STYLE STRAP WHICH LOOKS REALLY BADASS ON THIS YACHTING DUDE. THE CHRONOMASTER AVIATOR SEA DIVERS HAVE TAKEN ON A SOMEWHAT LEGENDARY STATUS IN THE LAST FEW YEARS AND HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY MORE VALUABLE, SCARCE, AND COLLECTIBLE. I LOVE THIS PARTICULAR VARIANT PRODUCED BY LEGANT(MONTGOMERY WARD'S BRAND) BECAUSE IT COMBINES THAT LEGENDARY CASE WITH THE YACHTING DIAL. THIS IS SUCH A PERFECT ALL-ROUNDER VINTAGE WHICH CAN EASILY BE A DRESS DIVER OR A WEEKEND WARRIOR. THIS ONE IS DUE TO GO UP IN VALUE, SO JUMP ON IT!!
