In celebration of the Longines that I did not get the other day (and what I thought was a fair bid wasn't even close), I went to the bank to pull out a distant cousin (also 42 mm) to wear for a few days. One of my favorites. Let's see what you guys and gals have in super compressor divers.

Best to all.

 

Lovely, is it RAN issued possibly?

 

When mentioning Compressor watches, I have to involve 2 variations of the Omega SM Compressor ref.166.042, cal. 565
Not so much "Divers" but they are "SUPER" IMO!
Don't know if they count......

 

And this one again, everywhere like a rash

 

I'll play:


Probably not not what you think of as a diver, but a Super Compressor nevertheless:

 

This is nice, keep em coming! I always liked the SuperCompressor look with 2 crowns...
Actually before i bought my first 'proper' watch, a speedie, I was seriously considering that Longines heritage diver, reissue from a few years back... But im much happier now with my choice

Cheers,

 

Here's one I used to have, sold it a while ago

 

That's stunning... Great watch!

 

I have quite a few compressors, and actually prefer the less common single crown versions. Here are a couple of rarely seen model...

 

I have a similar one, with a slightly different dial. Alas, mine is not running and I need to find the right watchmaker to take it to.

And my Droz is not RAN issued. Thanks all.

 

@Melhadary, what is the case number on this one? I have one. Looking for a replacement crystal but didn't want to pop it apart.

 

Talis Super Compressor

JLC NOS DSMM

1965 JLC Polaris Mk.1 case

 

I can recommend Paul at Electric-watches.co.uk.

 

To quote our respectable member @Archer from an earlier post:

 

Serial 8675309 by any chance?

Edit: Sorry. PWI.

 

That Polaris is (((sick)))

 

Love these Super Compressors. Thanks for posting them.

 

Which movement is this? It looks very similar to a Unitas 6431 pocket watch movement I've been working on lately.

 

I really love those super compressor... i had a couple of them but the one i really miss ...
