    Here is another fairly uncommon dive watch for sale, a near-mint condition Elgin diver likely from the 1960's.

    The nearly perfect case measures 36mm across (39mm including the bezel and crown), 46mm lug to lug, and 12mm thick. Lugs are 19mm wide. It is one of those classic dive watch cases used in the Sixties and Seventies.

    Included in the sale is a red/green bezel original to the watch. The red/green bezel is also in near-mint condition and is 100% correct for the watch. I got a different Elgin for its orange/black bezel and put it on mine. These watches shipped with either the orange/black or red/green bezel.

    The automatic-winding PUW 1463 movement was fully serviced in March 2014. It runs flawlessly. The day/date is not quickset but rather the date is set by moving the minutes hand between 9 and 12 o'clock. The day of the week follows, so one needs to figure out where the day should be with the date in advance.

    Price is $500 net to me including the vintage Tropic strap in the photos. Shipping cost depends on the carrier of your choice. Trades not likely but small, vintage chronographs considered for part or full trade.
