    I am selling a few pieces from my personal collection that just don't get enough wrist time. Offered here is a rare 1960's Belforte Skin-Diver, rated at 666/ft. Belforte was a sub-brand of Benrus and this super cool cousin to the Ultra-Deep shares many of it's traits, including being a "front loader" for the movement. Overall the condition is excellent, especially the over-sized bezel which is one of the stars of the show. The iridescent orange dial is gorgeous, and shows no flaws. The original lume has turned to a creamy yellow.

    Here are some of the specs:
    • Case: Stainless steel, sharp edges, never polished.
    • Movement: Belforte 11K2L1 (ETA 2370), 17 jewels, 18,000 bph
    • Powered: Mechanical - Handwind
    • Case Width: 37 mm (40 mm incl. crown)
    • Case Length: 47 mm
    • Lug Width: 20 mm
    • Crystal: Domed acrylic
    The watch comes fitted on a jubilee bracelet, but I will also include a vintage style brown leather strap.
    I cannot open, but the piece is running great and keeping excellent time.
