ZESTY~70s CYMA DIVINGSTAR 1500

Regular price $0.69 Sale

FOR SALE IS A SUPER RARE EARLY 70s CYMA DIVINGSTAR 1500FT AUTOROTOR DEEP DIVER USING THE SAME CASE AS THE ZODIAC SUPER-SEAWOLF. THIS SUCKER IS IN FANTASTIC CONDITION! SIGNED 5X

 

  • CASE: OVERSIZED AND SEXY SOLID STEEL MODELE DEPOSE CASE MEASURING A HEFTY 43mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED SCREW-DOWN CROWN BY 50mm LUG TO LUG.  MAKE NO MISTAKE THIS IS A MASSIVE AND HEAVY WATCH. THIS WAS THE SAME CASE USED BY EBERHARD, ROYCE, BLANCPAIN, ZENITH, CYMA, NIVADA, AND MOST FAMOUSLY BY ZODIAC IN THE SUPER SEA-WOLF MODELS. THE CONDITION ON THIS THING WOULD BE MINT IF NOT FOR A FEW CASE OPENING MARKS ON THE CASEBACK AND SOME HAIRLINES ON THE BEZEL RETAINING NUT. THIS THING IS FREAKIN' SHARP. LOOK AT HOW WELL PRESERVED ALL THOSE ORIGINAL FINISHES ARE. THAT TANGERINE ORANGE BAKELITE BEZEL ROTATES LIKE A DREAM BIDIRECTIONALLY AND IS IN EXCELLENT  CONDITION.

 

  • DIAL: THIS HARKS FROM THE ERA WHEN ORANGE WAS JUST STARTING TO MAKE ITS WAY ON TO DIVER DIALS STARTING WITH DOXA. I LOVE THOSE HEAVY DUTY BLACK SHOVEL HANDS WHICH LOOK TOTALLY RAD AGAINST THAT CITRUS BACKGROUND. MY FAVORITE TOUCH ON THIS ONE IS THAT BLACKCHAPTER RING WHICH SUSPENDS OVER THE DIAL ADDING A NICE DEPTH TO THE DIAL.THE ORIGINAL FLAT GLASS CRYSTAL IS IN NICE SHAPE WITH A FEW MINOR SCRATCHES..

 

  • MOVEMENT: THIS DUDE RUNS ON A HIGH-GRADE IN-HOUSE CYMA R.804.00 AUTOMATIC IN CLEAN SHAPE. I DON'T KNOW THE SERVICE HISTORY, BUT MY WATCHMAKER INSPECTED AND SAID THE MOVEMENT LOOKS CLEAN. WATCH RUNS GREAT AND KEEPS GOOD TIME.  

 

  • WATCH IS MOUNTED ON THE ORIGINAL CYMA SIGNED NSA BRACELET WHICH CAN ACCOMMODATE UP TO A 7 7/8” WRIST. I WISH I HAD THE MANLY WRIST TO PULL OFF THIS ONE. IT'S RARE TO FIND ONE OF THESE DIVERS IN THIS TYPE OF CONDITION. I LOVE THE CYMA VARIANT OF THIS DIVER, AND TO FIND ONE IN THIS SHAPE IS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE.
