About This Watch

Vintage. No box or papers and a Passions Box will be given.

This is a highly collectible vintage diver's Seamaster 120m Date from late 1960s. The bi-directional rotating bezel has an aluminum immersion scale for timing dive trips or simply as a parking meter.

This watch dates back to 1968 and presents in it's original. The case appears to be unpolished with original factory finish that's still visible and has all the user marks scarred over the past 50yrs that adds to it's character. These were real tool watches worn by divers in those years. Upon unlocking the case back, there are no visible rust marks which is a great sign & the pink gold gilt movement shines as it should. The lume on the dial has aged to a nice patina and matching with the hands. The bezel is jammed and doesn't turn so price reflects this as a good piece sells over S$7K.

A very attractive vintage diver's watch that's under valued. This is a professional diver's watch aka Mini-Ploprof and the answer to Rolex's Submariner yet the movement was ahead of Rolex as it features quick-set date and hack-seconds. Buy this quick as we don't expect to see another in this condition anytime soon.
