FOR SALE IS A SUPER SUAVE EARLY 70s OLMA GLOSS DIAL SKIN-DIVER AUTOMATIC IN LETHALLY SHARP CONDITION.
-
CASE: MINT ALL-STEEL SKIN-DIVER CASE MEASURING A LARGE 38.2mm ACROSS BEZEL NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWN BY 47.7mm LUG TO LUG. ALL THE ORIGINAL BRUSHED FINISH IS FULLY INTACT AND LUGS ARE SUPER SHARP AND CRISPY. THIS THING IS A TOTAL SAFE QUEEN. I LOVE THAT ANODIZED GLOSSY BLACK BEZEL IN REALLY STUNNING CONDITION WHICH ROTATES WITH THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF FRICTION BIDIRECTIONALLY.
-
DIAL: THIS GLOSS BLACK DIAL IS THE PICTURE OF PERFECTION. MAYBE ONE OF THE BEST EXECUTED DIVE DIALS I'VE EVER SEEN. SO SIMPLE WITH ITS ONE LINE OF TEXT AND THOSE BOLD MILSPEC STYLE MARKERS. CHECK OUT THE CUSTARDY LUME ON THAT TRITIUM WHICH MATCHES PERFECTLY BETWEEN THE DIAL AND THOSE SNUB NOSED HANDS. THE LOLLIPOP SWEEP HAND IS A NICE TOUCH.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS OLMA RUNS ON A 25 JEWEL ETA AUTOMATIC. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN, BUT WATCH HAS BEEN RUNNING EXCELLENTLY OBSERVED OVER A WEEK OF ON/OFF WRIST OBSERVATION. DAY/DATE FLIP APPROPRIATELY. WHEN OPERATING THE CROWN TO WIND AND SET HANDS, IT'S A BIT SQUEAKY. ON THE TIMEGRAPHER, THIS ONE KEEPS WITHIN 15 SECONDS A DAY AND HAS A STRONG AMPLITUDE.
WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A LUXURIOUS DEEP BROWN MINIMALIST STRAP WHICH MATES WELL WITH THIS DIVER. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT'S REALLY SPECIAL, THIS IS IT. WITH ITS SLEEK LINES, LOW PROFILE, AND MINIMALIST DIAL, THIS COULD EVEN BE AN ELEGANT DRESS WATCH. HOWEVER, IT'S MAINLY JUST A BADASS VINTAGE TOOL DIVER IN IMPECCABLE CONDITION.
