Vintage Dacor Divers/Diving Watch withMint Dial, Butterscotch Patina, All SS Case
This very seldom seen vintage Dacor is in beautiful original, untouched condition. The matte black “Swiss Made” signed dial is as nice a dial as I’ve ever seen. It is absolutely flawless. The original tritium on the dial’s plot markers and hands, all of which remain intact, match perfectly and has aged to a beautiful golden butterscotch hue. The tritium no longer glows after being exposed to bright light. Over the past several decades the hands have developed some corrosion. In my humble opinion they look amazing and add character and soul to the watch. The bezel rotates bi-directionally and the all stainless steel case is in wonderful condition with virtually no signs of use. According to my watchmaker the case is unpolished and the case back had never been removed prior to him doing so. The outside of the case back is engraved “SWISS MADE ANTIMAGNETIC INCABLOC ALL STAINLESS STEEL” along the outer edge with “DACOR” followed by “42134” in the center. The Spiedel stainless steel bracelet is in good shape, showing moderate stretch and it can comfortably fit a 7 inch wrist. Smaller wrists will require a link or two to be removed. The original superdome plexi crystal has some scratching that can likely be polished out. The 17 jewels AS 1701 stamped unadjusted “Dacor Corporation” signed automatic movement is pristine and keeps accurate time. The movement is also stamped KWS. After recently winding the crown 39 full revolutions the watch had a solid power reserve of approximately 41 hours. The original and sharply threaded, non-screwdown crown winds buttery smooth. Although this watch currently keeps near perfect time and the date rolls over as it should, considering that this watch is over 50 years old and likely having never been serviced (case back had never been previously opened and there are no watchmaker service markings on the inside of the case back), a complete overhaul is suggested. This watch measures approximately 35.5 mm excluding the crown, approximately 38.5 mm including the crown and approximately 18 mm between the lugs. Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the bezel, is approximately 8.5 mm. Including the crystal case thickness measures approximately 11.5 mm. As mentioned above, although this watch is keeping accurate time and works as it should this is a vintage watch that appears to have never been serviced. As such there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch. Vintage means old, and while my personal belief is that old-school means better quality and workmanship, things can and do go wrong from time to time. A full overhaul is recommended to keep this watching running strong. Any servicing costs going forward are your responsibility. And please study the 12 high magnification pictures carefully as they are part of the description and serve as an accurate representation of the condition of this watch.
