This exceedingly rare and unique vintage Mathey-Tissot Mergulhador UHF dive watch is spectacular and appears untouched. The orange rust satin “Swiss Made” signed dial, the only one I’ve ever seen, is exceptional and in perfect condition, free of any scratches, tool marks or defects. The original tritium on the dial and hands, which no longer emits a glow after being exposed to bright light, is fully intact and has aged to a golden butterscotch hue. The vibrant orange seconds hand gives the watch a wonderful energy. The bezel rotates bi-directionally and its in great condition. The all stainless steel case appears unpolished, showing light signs of use. There are no visible signs of oxidation/rust to the case and its free of any noticeable dents or dings. The outer edge of the case back, which shows the most wear on the case, is engraved “WATERRESISTANT INCABLOC STAINLESS STEEL SWISS MADE” with “MATHEY-TISSOT, “”AUTOMATIC, “”20 ATMOS” and “1635” engraved in the center. The crystal is in good shape with the exception of some gouging around the date window, although its integrity is intact. The 17 jewels ETA 2784 movement with quickset date function is beautiful and appears to be untouched (there are no watchmaker markings on the inside of the case back), keeping near perfect time with the date wheel rolling over as it should. After recently winding the crown 27 full revolutions the movement had an impressive power reserve of approximately 41 hours. It should be noted that the sharply threaded, non-dented crown is tight and a bit more difficult to wind than I would prefer, although I realize some may appreciate this feel. Nevertheless it should be mentioned. Despite keeping near perfect time and working as it should, considering that this watch is roughly 40 years old and likely having never been serviced before, a complete overhaul is suggested. This watch measures approximately 38 mm excluding the crown, approximately 41 mm including the crown and approximately 19.5 mm between the lugs. Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the bezel, is approximately 9.5 mm. Including the crystal case thickness measures approximately 12 mm. As mentioned above, considering that this watch has likely never been serviced and given its vintage nature, a service is recommended. 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. 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.
