SOLD!
LAST of these INCREDiBLy RARE NeW OLD SToCK SQUARE-CASED DeeP DiVERS Left on the PLANET???

Maybe So! I have ONE GRAY Version and the BLUE Version has just sold to an incredibly astute collector...they have SwiSS 21 Jewel AuToMaTiC Date Movements...NeW OLD SToCK Unworn (NEVER Opened, that’s why I have not opened the Backs for pictures here)...with STiCKER STiLL on the Back...and VeRRRY RaRE MiD-SiZE 33millimeter wide by 39millimeter lug to lug SLAB SQUARE STEEL ScrewBack 600foot Dive Cases!

For Reference, this would be the Size of the ROLEX Mid-Size. For those Men who’ve wanted a Bona Fide DeeP DiVER Watch, but have not desired the ToYOTA-Size Case that comes with them, THiS is ‘the’ ANSWeR! I’m 6 Foot 185 pounds of Strapping Jerk, with a 7 ½" Wrist, and the thing works for me (though, as all of you know, I DO prefer a TOYOTA-Size watch on my wrist)...but aside from the SiZE, it is QuiTe a RaRE Version being BOTH Mid-SiZE and this VerrrY CoOoOoL SQUARE Case.

Now, i'm sure you all are wondering, 'what brand is CLaSSiC'? Like Heuer, Breitling, and many other brands of the 50s, 60s and 70s, 'Classic' was a brand using fine swiss movements and cases, and selling the product under their branded name. While Heuer and Breitling are two of the most famous companies that almost went under with the coming of the Japanese Quartz 'Revolution' (i prefer to call it 'Devolution'), many brands that put out a high grade Swiss product weren't as blessed as Heuer and Breitling to be snatched from the Siren's call of Quartz.

CLaSSiC was one that did not survive, but the watches they put out used the same high grade swiss movements and super water-resistant cases as are evident in this model. Again, i do not know which caliber and manufacturer Swiss movement are in these as they are Super Sealed New Old Stock and i did not wish to scratch them opening for a photo, but with them comes a guaranteed return offer if the movement is not all swiss made...most likely being an ETA, A.Schilds or higher grade offering of the period.

They Come on the Original Straps (Blue has a Plastic, Gray has a brown leather), working PuRRRFectly (tho they’ve never been serviced so I recommend that prior to wearing much).

Along with the AMAZiNG Size and LooX, these have the Bi-Directional Dive Timer Bezel, a BiG ThiCK RETRO BuBBLE Crystal (tho not Retro when it was made)...AND of ALL Things...a ROLEX-Style Date window! What more could you ask for (I’d throw in the Ocean to Jump into with this piece, but shipping would be difficult).



NOTE: These are new old stock, never worn, but they do have a few light surface marks of storage which would easily polish out...the Original Sticker on the back is a bit GunKY (it all comes off). ALSO, did I mention this has a Signed-Crown? KeWL!
