-
CASE: KILLER BARREL SHAPED 300 METER DIVER CASE MEASURING A LARGE 41mm ACROSS BEZEL NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED TISSOT SCREW DOWN CROWN. CASE IS IN SHARP AND UNPOLISHED CONDITION. I JUST LOVE THE ANGULAR SHARP LINES AND EDGES ON THIS ONE WITH DESIGN NODS TO ITS STABLE MATE THE OMEGA PLOPROF. CHECK OUT THAT GORGEOUS BAKELITE ORANGE/BLACK BEZEL IN PHENOMENAL CONDITION WITH JUST MINOR SIGNS OF WEAR ON THE PAINT UNDER THE ACRYLIC BUT NOT A SINGLE SCRATCH ON THE BAKELITE ITSELF. THE 60 CLICK UNI-DIRECTIONAL BEZEL ACTION ON THIS ONE IS LITERALLY AS GOOD AS IT GETS WITH NO BACK PLAY AND NICE PRECISE ACTION.

DIAL: NO BULL-SHIT STRAIGHTFORWARD MILITARY STYLE DIAL IS A STUNNER. SUPER CLEAN MATTE BLACK BACKGROUND WITH WHITE TEXT AND APPLIED LUME MARKERS WITH GORGEOUS CUSTARDY AGED LUME. I LOVE THAT CHAMPAGNE COLORED SLOPING CHAPTER RING WHICH MAKES FOR GREAT LEGIBILITY. MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS DIAL IS THAT CLASSIC PLONGEUR STYLE DIVE HANDSET WITH THAT OVERSIZED ORANGE MINUTE HAND, WHITE HOUR HAND, AND THAT COOL PADDLE SWEEP SECONDS. I LOVE HOW THE MATTE BLACK CENTRAL SEGMENTS OF THE HANDS MATCHES PERFECTLY WITH THE MATTE BLACK ON THE DIAL. THE ORIGINAL FLAT CRYSTAL IS IN GREAT SHAPE WITH SOME MINOR SCRATCHES WHICH REALLY DO NOT DETRACT FROM THE OVERALL BEAUTY.

MOVEMENT: THIS TISSOT PROFESSIONAL RUNS ON AN ETA 955.111 QUARTZ. IT RUNS BUTTER SMOOTH AND KEEPS EXCELLENT TIME. SCREW-DOWN CROWN WORKS FLAWLESSLY, TOO.
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON THE ORIGINAL TISSOT SIGNED OYSTER STYLE SOLID LINK STEEL BRACELET. NO FOLDED METAL ON THIS ONE. THIS IS THE REAL DEAL WITH PR300 SIGNED ON THE BUCKLE. BRACELET CAN FIT BETWEEN A 6.75" WRIST UP TO A 7.25" WRIST AND BEYOND AN 8" WRIST IF YOU UTILIZE THE EXTENSION CLASP. BRACELET CAN BE DETACHED TOO, AND THIS SUCKER CAN ACCOMODATE A 20MM STRAP. THIS TISSOT DIVER IS A STRAIGHT-UP BADASS. THIS WAS A PROFESSIONAL DIVE WATCH MADE AS A TOOL WATCH. IN MY OPINION, THIS PR300 HAS IT ALL: BAKELITE BEZEL, AWESOME HANDSET, SUPER COOL AND FUNKY CASE, AND DIVE PEDIGREE. THIS IS THE PERFECT COLLECTORS ITEM FOR SOMEONE WHO IS OBSESSED WITH VINTAGE DIVERS.
