-
CASE: SLEEK AND SEXY ALL-STEEL CASE MEASURING A NICE 36.5mm ACROSS BEZEL NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 43mm LUG TO LUG. CASE IS IN SUPER SHARP CONDITION LIKE ITS BEEN HIDING IN A SAFE FOR 50+ YEARS. ALL THE ORIGINAL BRUSHING IS FULLY INTACT. CHECK OUT THAT GORGEOUS POLISHED STEEL BEZEL WITH THE BLACK LACQUERED NUMERALS. THE COIN EDGE IS SUPER GRIPPY AND A PLEASURE TO OPERATE. THIS ONE REALLY WEARS MORE LIKE A 38mm BECAUSE OF THAT WIDE DIAL AND THINNER BEZEL. REALLY PHENOMENAL WRIST PRESENCE ON THIS ONE. I LOVE ALL THAT PORTUGUESE TEXT ON THE SCREW-DOWN CASEBACK. A LOT OF INFORMATION TO TAKE IN THERE!

DIAL: IF YOU LIKE A HEAVY DOSE OF PATINA ON YOUR DIVE DIALS, THIS IS YOUR BOY. THIS FACE IS AGED TO PERFECTION. I JUST LOVE THOSE PUFFY GOLDEN BROWN EXPLORER STYLE LUME MARKERS. THAT THIN DAGGER HANDSET ALSO HAS THAT MATCHING AGED LUME, AND IT JUST ALL LOOKS SO GLORIOUS. I LOVE THE MINIMALIST 3 LINE DIAL, AND THOSE SUBTLE WHITE ARROW MARKERS UNDER EACH LUME PLOT. THE CRYSTAL DOES HAVE A MINOR SCRATCH AROUND THE 6 MARKER WHICH I WAS MAINLY ABLE TO BUFF DOWN, BUT OVERALL THE DOMED PLEXI IS NICE AND CLEAN.

MOVEMENT: THIS ULTRAMAR RUNS ON A 25 JEWEL ETA AUTOMATIC WITH SEMI-QUICKSET DATE. WATCH RUNS SMOOTH AND IS KEEPING FANTASTIC TIME. THIS IS A SOLID RUNNER. WATCH WAS SERVICED WITHIN THE LAST YEAR.
- THIS SKIN-DIVER IS MOUNTED ON A SUPER LUXURIOUS HANDMADE DARK MINIMALIST STRAP WHICH WEARS LIKE A DREAM. THIS BEAUTY IS LIKE THE LOVE CHILD OF A CARAVELLE SEA HUNTER AND AN AQUASTAR 10 ATMOS. WITH THIS GUY, YOU GET IT ALL: THE PHENOMENAL PATINA ON THE LUME CROSSED WITH THE MINTY CONDITION CASE. TRULY AGED TO PERFECTION. ULTRAMAR WAS A SWISS COMPANY WHICH DISTRIBUTED MAINLY IN LATIN AMERICAN MARKETS. THEY MADE SOME SWEET DIVERS IN THE 60s, AND THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE. THIS THING OOZES COOL.
