    Up for sale is my 1960’s vintage Ollech & Wajs skin diver. I originally purchased the watch from a fellow member in March of 2019. It is in all original, excellent condition.

    The dial is in crisp, original condition. The lume is original, evidenced by the crack in the minute hand lume, and matches across hands, indices and bezel. The bezel is Bakelite, like the original Rolex Submariners, and has embedded lumed numerals. The Landeron movement is interesting – you press the 2:00 pusher to start the chronograph and the 4:00 pusher to both stop and reset. A quirky approach different from other chronograph movements. The time and chronograph functions are running well.

    Condition: Excellent
    Movement/Calibre: Landeron 248, 17 jewels
    Functions: Hours, Minutes, center chronograph seconds, running seconds subdial at 9:00, 30-minute chronograph minutes subdial at 3:00
    Dial: Good, unmolested condition
    Case: Excellent condition, sharp edges, appears unpolished. Stainless steel.
    Crystal: Domed acrylic
    Dimensions: Diameter 38.5mm, Height 14mm (inc domed crystal), Lug-to-Lug 48mm
    Lug width: 19mm
    Strap: Sailcloth (water-resistant) with deployant buckle
    WR: 20atm / 200meters

    Watch only, no box nor papers. Light service by the German Watchermaker (Vancouver) in Sep 2017.

    Price is US$1,450 or best offer. The watch is in the Vancouver, Canada area.
    Shipping included for buyers in Canada and US. +3% for PayPal. Thanks for the space and views.
