Waltham Vintage 1960 ' S Skin Diver B - 271 Wristwatch
Item History & Price
This is a catch and release for me. I really love this watch with it's beautiful dial, creamy patina and looks just like a vintage Bathyscaphe. However, I doubt that I'd wear it much, even though it looks so, so good. So it's off to find a new home..
The case, dial and movement are in exceptional condition. The movement has had a bit of a clean, but the case is unpolished and the dial is somewhat of a time capsule - it's stunning! Lovely raised markers sandwich the most beautiful cr...eamy tritium patina, it really stands out.
The all steel case measures a fantastic 36mm and 39mm including the original signed crown. It's 43mm lug-to-lug.
The dial is a rather lovely slate grey and is in perfect condition, the orangey/red second hand stands out and makes the dial 'pop'.
The movement is the robust A.Schild 1950/51 handwinding. It winds and sets as it should and keeps time wonderfully well!
This is such a wonderful skindiver from the 1960's from a great manufacturer that oozes quality and 60's charm.
Good luck with your bids..
