While the movement runs strong and keeps accurate time and the roulette (black even, red odd) date wheel rolls over when the quickset function is used, the date wheel will not roll over automatically on its own. Given this and considering that the movement has likely never been serviced a complete overhaul is recommended. This seldom seen vintage PAT diver has a matte black “EBAUCHE SUISSE” signed dial that is in pristine condition, free of any scratching, tool marks, chipping or defects. The original lume, which remains fully intact and emits a quick-burst glow after being exposed to bright light, has aged to a perfectly matching warm buttermilk hue. The bezel, which does not rotate likely due to gunk buildup underneath, looks good. The all stainless steel case is in excellent condition showing minor wear and no signs of oxidation. The outer edge of the case back is stamped “ALL STAINLESS STEEL 100% WATERPROOF TESTED 20 ATM ANTIMAGNETIC” with “21631” stamped in the center. The crystal shows scratching. While I normally show pictures of the movements of watches that I put up for sale, the case back on this one is torqued to what feels like factory specs and is too tight for me to remove. A skilled watchmaker will have no issues removing it. The automatic movement with quickset date function runs strong and keeps accurate time but the date wheel does not automatically roll over on its own as it should. However, the quickset date function works flawlessly by pulling out the sharply threaded, non-screwdown crown to the first position and then turning it clockwise until the desired date has been reached. After recently winding the crown 39 full revolutions the movement had an impressive power reserve of approximately 41 hours. The crown winds beautifully. Given that the date wheel does not roll over on its own and considering that the movement has likely never been serviced a complete overhaul is recommended. This watch measures approximately 37 mm excluding the crown, approximately 40 mm including the crown and approximately 19 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 mm. Although the movement runs strong and keeps accurate time, given that the date wheel does not roll over on its own and considering that the movement has likely never been serviced a complete overhaul 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.

This uber rare vintage 1970’s Impec diver has a glossy black dial that is in pristine condition, free of any visible scratching, tool marks, chipping or defects. Please note that over the past several decades significant dust/debris has gotten between the crystal and crystal ring, settling on the underbelly of the crystal and to a lesser degree onto the dial. While the lume on the dial markers has aged to a light pistachio hue and no longer glows after being exposed to bright light, the lume on the hands has developed a lovely rich golden butterscotch color that emits a quick-burst glow after being exposed to bright light. This subtle contrast in patina is beautiful, in my humble opinion. The faded black fat font countdown bezel, which rotates stiffly bidirectionally, looks great. The heavy duty all stainless steel case is in wonderful condition showing minor wear and is free of any noticeable dents or dings. The outer edge of the case back is stamped “ALL STAINLESS – STEEL – ANTIMAGNETIC” with “100%” followed by “WATERPROOF TESTED, “”20 ATMOSPHERES” and “42450” stamped in the center. While the integrity of the crystal appears to be intact it should be replaced as it is heavily scratched. The quickset date function works flawlessly by manually rolling over a new date and then moving the hour hand repeatedly between the 20.5 and 24 hour marks until the desired date has been reached. After recently winding the non-screwdown crown 39 full revolutions the movement had an impressive power reserve of approximately 41 hours. The crown winds a bit stiffly. Although the movement runs strong and keeps near perfect time, given its vintage nature and unknown service history (there is one visible watchmaker service marking on the inside of the case back), a complete overhaul is recommended. This watch measures approximately 38 mm excluding the crown, approximately 41 mm including the crown and approximately 18.75 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 11.5 mm. This watch comes on a high quality NOS black NATO strap. Although this watch currently runs strong and keeps near perfect time, given that it is over 40 years old and considering that the movement appears to have only been serviced once in its lifetime, a complete overhaul 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.
