·Pretty excited about this one. I've been on the hunt for what I consider a proper skin diver. Which is something from the early 60's with huge indices, big hands, and a very utilitarian dial layout. This even has a screw down crown.
It's the same case and dial from the Jaquet-Droz diver of the same ilk, but was produced for Swiss brand, LIDHER. Inside is a Felsa 692 (25-jewel) housed in the rare 2000 Brevet case—which pre-dates the 2002 case used on the Titus Calypsomatic and Technos Sky Diver. This puts the watch around the 1959-61 period. So definitely an early skin diver.
Cannot wait to see it in person.
