Couple of blue Lorenz chrono subs. The example with silver subs may be one of a kind.

Over 20 years of collecting dive watches and other types of vintage watches. Always liked vintage divers there are four I let go I wish I did not a Omega SHOM with real cool patina lume, Benthos 500, a Depollier first watch with a screw down crown even had cork gaskets to make it water proof the forerunner of dive watches a French issued Auricoste Spirotechnique those four watches have went up in price since I let them go.

A lot to like here: glossy black dial, nice patina lume, cool hands including the second hand, original signed crown and bracelet.

And the really interesting detail - lumed date window 😁

I don't own these, but they were ones I have spotted for sale and missed

Obviously the Hanowa and the La Rochelle came out of the same factory - kinda love that green!
