IT IS MY PLEASURE TO OFFER UP FROM MY PERSONAL COLLECTION THIS REALLY NICE 60s ORGANA 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 STAR-FISH EMBLEM 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 DARK AGED TRITIUM ON THIS ONE GIVES THIS ONE THAT PERFECT VINTAGE PATINA. YOU GOTTA LOVE THAT ORANGE LOLLIPOP SWEEPER WHICH REALLY GIVES THIS ONE A TON OF CHARACTER. THE ORIGINAL DOMED CRYSTAL DOES HAVE SOME VERY MINOR DINGS AND SCRATCHES WHICH I MAINLY BUFFED OUT.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS SLEEK DIVE CHRONO IS POWERED BY A SWISS 17J VALJOUX 7733. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY. CHRONO ZEROS OUT COMPLETELY, AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN. (Note: after running the chronograph repeatedly, I had one incident among dozens where the chronograph stalled after running for many hours)
THIS ORGANA IS MOUNTED ON ITS ORIGINAL TROPIC SPORT SWISS MADE VINTAGE STRAP WHICH MOST LIKELY WAS SOLD NEW WITH THIS PIECE. 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 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!!
