-
CASE: CLASSIC EARLY 60s SKIN DIVER CASE MEASURING 35.5mm NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 43mm. THIS ALL STEEL CASE WAS A POPULAR STYLE USED IN DIVE WATCHES BACK IN THE LATE 50s AND EARLY 60s AND IS ONE OF MY FAVS. THAT BEZEL DOES SHOW SOME UNIFORM WEAR THROUGHOUT WHICH GIVES THIS ONE A WORN-IN VINTAGE VIBE. THIS ONE WEARS VERY SIMILARLY TO THE EARLY ZODIAC SEAWOLFS AND BULOVA SNORKELS OF THE ERA.

CHECK OUT THAT GLOSS BLACK DIAL WITH SOME MINOR SIGNS OF AGE SPOTS AND A BIT OF TEXT LOSS BUT OVERALL LOOKING TOTALLY BOSS. THE AGED TRITIUM LOOKS FANTASTIC WITH THAT BAKED COOKIE COLORED LUME BOTH CONSISTENT ON THE THE LUME PLOTS AND THE HANDSET. TALKING OF HANDSETS....THIS ONE IS UNBELIEVABLE.
