FOR SALE IS A SUPER RARE LATE 60s WYLER DYNAWIND 660 COMPRESSOR DIVER WITH SOUGHT AFTER “HEATY DUTY” DIAL
-
CASE: MASSIVE ALL-STEEL AND SEXY ALL-STEEL MONOCOQUE CASE IN EXCELLENT AND UNTOUCHED CONDITION MEASURING A ROBUST 39.3mm ACROSS CASE NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWNS WITH 19mm LUG SPACING. THIS IS A HEAVY HEAVY PIECE OF MACHINERY. CASE IS IN REALLY GREAT SHAPE WITH SOME DINGS AND MINOR SCRATCHES HERE AND THERE, BUT OVERALL MAINTAINING ALL ITS SHARP LINES AND UNPOLISHED ORIGINAL FINISH. WHILE THESE WERE NOT OFFICIAL COMPRESSOR CASES MADE BY EPSA, THESE WYLER MADE SINGLE PIECE TANKS ARE JUST AS ROBUST AND WERE MADE EXCLUSIVELY BY THE BRAND FOR THEIR WATCHES.
-
DIAL: NOW THIS MIGHT BE ONE OF THE MOST RAD DIALS IN THE VINTAGE DIVE WATCH MARKET. CHECK OUT THAT MINTY MATTE BLACK DIAL WITH THE ORANGE AND PERIWINKLE BLUE ACCENTS. I LOVE THAT KILLER ORANGE PLONGEUER HANDSET WHICH REALLY POPS AGAINST THE BLACK FACE. THE LUME ON THE HANDS AND DIAL IS A GORGEOUS AGED CUSTARD TONE. THE STAND-OUT FEATURE IS THE INFAMOUS “HEATY DUTY” MISPRINT ON THE DIAL. THIS WAS A KNOWN WYLER TYPO MADE AT THE FACTORY WHICH CAN BE FOUND ON A FEW DIFFERENT HEAVY DUTY MODELS IN CIRCULATION. THESE ARE RARE TO COME-BY AND ARE CONSIDERED A COLLECTIBLE QUIRK. I’VE PERSONALLY SEEN A FEW OF THIS MISPRINT, BUT THEY ARE VERY HARD TO COME-BY.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS WYLER RUNS ON A HEAVILY MODIFIED ETA BASEDAUTOMATIC WITH WYLER’S PATENTED INCAFLEX SHOCK SYSTEM. I DO NOT KNOW THE SERVICE HISTORY ON THIS, BUT IT’S BEEN KEEPING TOP TIME WITH GOOD POWER RESERVE AND GOOD AMPLITUDE ON THE TIMEGRAPHER. THE TOP CROWN ADJUSTS THE INTERNAL ROTATING BEZEL WITH THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF FRICTION
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON WHAT MIGHT POSSIBLY BE THE ORIGINAL AGED TROPIC RUBBER STRAP WHICH LOOKS SUPER TOUGH ON THIS DIVER. THIS IS A SUPER RARE MODEL ON ITS OWN, AND WHEN YOU ADD IN THE MISPRINT ON THE DIAL, THIS IS A SUPER COLLECTIBLE VINTAGE DIVER IN REALLY PHENOMENAL SHAPE.
