·For your consideration is this charming 1960’s skin diver made by the brand Duxot.
This is a large steel case diver featuring the ubiquitous diver case but in 38mm, not 36mm which was far more common. The dial has nice patina that can look greenish or warm depending on the light and is reminiscent of an early Seamaster. Here’s a video of the watch in natural light.
The 25 jewel Swiss Felsa 4007N automatic movement with semi-quickset date function is clean, and the red date wheel rolls over at 12 am. No service history is known. The semi-quickset date function works by moving the hour hand repeatedly between the 21 and 24 hour marks until the desired date has been reached. The case features 19mm lug spacing and has a lug to lug of around 47mm. It’s very wearable.
As you can see this is not a safe queen! It has been worn, the bezel has some damage on the edge at the 3 o’clock position and is shown in the last photo. It doesn’t negatively affect operation, and isn’t noticeable as it’s hidden by the crown. Bezels can be sourced for very cheap if a replacement is of interest. No returns on this watch.
If you want to see more pictures just ask.
Price: $250 SHIPPED (USPS First Class uninsured) in CONUS, but may be more expensive if out of country. Payment via PayPal only.
