Vintage Swiss Made Aquadive Wristwatch ETA Dive Diver Watch - Strong Runner
Item History & Price
Still thinning the collection and offering this vintage Aquadive dive watch ca. late 1960’s - early 1970’s.
Case:Case with original crown and stainless steel screw back is in good shape. A few minor scuffs/scratches, but nothing significant. Some very minor wear through on the plating on the underside angle (side opposite of the crown) and on the lugs, but this is hardly noticeable unless you are inspecting from up close. Good condition for its age overall. Non...-ratcheting, metal bezel turns freely, and has good friction to maintain its position. Minor paint wear to the bezel to be expected of a watch of this age. We cannot vouch for the water resistance of this watch due to its age.
Movement:ETA automatic Cal. 2873, non-hacking movement is working well and keeping good time. Movement winds smoothly and sets easily with the date clicking into position nicely. Automatic winding works well. No meshing of gears or grainy feel - smooth action all around.
Crystal/Dial/Hands:Plexi crystal is in great condition with a few very minor hairlines and swirls - very clean overall. Original dial in dark gray and white with red hour markers and a white railroad track ring. White sticks on the hours and the inner circle has a gloss finish with the hour marker ring being matte. Good contrast of textures and colors in that typical 60’s, 70’s style. Aquadive logo is clear and prominent in white, 17 Jewels, Automatic. T Swiss Made T. A few small patina marks on the dial, one near the date window. Date disc is all white with black text and no age marks.
Comes on an olive drab NATO strap. Overall a good, honest dive watch in great running order.
