FOR REPAIR – while the date and time can be set without issue and the crown wound, the movement does not run. Given its unknown service history a complete overhaul is required. This vintage Marshall Field & Company diver has a black “SWISS” signed dial that is in pristine condition, free of any visibly noticeable scratching, tool marks, chipping or defects. In my humble opinion at certain angles and under various lighting conditions the dial has tropical brown undertones. The original lume on the dial and hands, which remains fully intact and emits a quick-burst glow after being exposed to bright light, has aged to a warm buttermilk hue. The bezel rotates bidirectionally and looks good with the color of the inverted triangle complementing the patina on the dial and hands nicely. The heavy duty all stainless steel case shows minor wear with no visibly noticeable dents, dings or oxidation. The outer edge of the case back is stamped “ALL STAINLESS STEEL INCABLOC SWISS 511″ with “20 ATMOS” stamped in the center. The inside of the case back is stamped “ZILA” followed by “WATCH CO” and SWISS. While the integrity of the crystal appears to be intact it should be replaced. The 17 jewels unadjusted Swiss “MARSHALL FIELD & COMPANY” stamped ETA 2772 automatic movement with quickset date function is clean (shows what looks like possible oxidation on the oscillating weight) but does not run. While the date and time can be set without issue the movement won’t fire up by winding the sharply threaded, non-screwdown crown, gently shaking the watch or gently spinning it face down on a flat surface. 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. Given that the movement does not run and considering its unknown service history (there is a watchmaker service marking on the inside of the case back) a complete overhaul is required. This watch measures approximately 37 mm excluding the crown, approximately 40.5 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 9.5 mm. Including the crystal case thickness measures approximately 11.5 mm. Given that the movement does not run and considering its unknown service history a complete overhaul is required. 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. For this watch that time is now. 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.
