Hi All,

I picked up a Technos Skydiver a few months ago and would love to learn more about it. I've seen a few posted on the forums so I know they are out there. Thought I would start a thread and anyone can list photos of there's so we can document the different dials. I've seen many different dial configurations but nothing noting the differences. If this exists somewhere please point me to it!

I know these Technos have a case and bezel identical to the Titus Calypsomatic, but besides that I don't know much.

I've read that the first dials did not have a depth rating under the words 'sky diver'. Anyone know if this is true?

And here's a photo of mine. Would love to see yours too!

 

very similar to the one that I had, mine had the 500m depth rating.

Cool watch!

 

Love it. If that watch could talk...

 

Cool looking watch with the original crystal to boot.

 

Hi, was this the one from eBay? I was second on the list and just lost the auction. I already have Sky Divers. Great watches!! And getting more expensive lately!

 

Just curious - how can you tell its the original crystal?

 

Yup, I got this off ebay a couple months back. Im really attracted to the aging of the dial on this one. Yours looks great too! Any idea what dates these are from? 60s I assume?

 

That's a difficult question; the seller told me it's original to start with and when checking all kind of photo's online, it seems to be the same.

 

These are I guess from somewhere mid sixtees. These watches are highly collectante and prices are on the rise lately.

I have two sky divers; the 500m version and the 30 jewels version. The 500m version completely original and the 30 jewels version has not the original crown but I did find the correct crown! Only the stem is missing but hopefully that can be resolved soon.

Great watches to have!

 

Cool watches!

 

Miss mine at times

 

Nice! Any side by side comparisons of the 2? Same case size I assume?

 

NOS

 

I'm keen on getting one...I've seen with one with a helluva lot of crumbly lume...As there is a lot of this watch display, would it greatly affect the value to get it relumed properly?

 

I think it would kill the value to relume it (even with vintage non-luminous colour).

stabilise whatever remains is probably best to preserve it.

once the lume is gone/degraded that's pretty much it for these styles of watches.

 

i think these are fantastic watches and also am trying to learn more. . .
when they turn tropical they are super bueno.. this one lived its life in brazil

 

Was that on ebay about 2 months back? I really fancied it too..

 

Not that I know of!

 

I recently bought a Sky Diver and would really like it on a bracelet, have seen these case (shared with Calypsomatic and more) with both original signed BOR and oyster bracelet. Anyone know where to scout an fitting bracelt?
