    I know there are a few vintage dive-watch fans on OF, so I'm going to offer this here first. For those not familiar with the name, Squale ("shark" in Italian) made professional dive-watch cases for a variety of manufacturers in the 60s and 70s, and IMO every vintage diver collection should have at least one. :)

    This is the classic full-size asymmetric 25 atmos Squale case with integrated crown guards. The dial is an unusual golden-brown sunburst, which shows some signs of aging to the lacquer on the lower right section. The acrylic bezel is completely intact with no cracks, with some paint loss as shown in the photos. The case is razor sharp with the original finish and signs of wear. Everything is original to the best of my knowledge. The watch was fully serviced by my watchmaker last year and runs beautifully; the autowinding is smooth as silk.

    Overall, it's a very nice honest example with an unusual dial. As always, I am not making any specific representations about future timekeeping. Lots of photos below, please take a good look to judge condition, and don't hesitate to ask questions by DM.

    Specifications:
    Brand: Eagle Star (Squale)
    Year: 1970s
    Movement: Felsa 4007N, automatic winding (full service in 2018)
    Case Material: Stainless steel
    Size: 39mm
    Crystal: acrylic
    Bracelet: modern reproduction rubber Tropic strap

    My asking price is $875 USD (reduced from $950) by PP F&F or bank wire. Shipping included within the US. Other payment methods are fine for established members with fees covered.

    Links to my selling and buying feedback are below, and I'm happy to share personal information by direct message. I can also provide a few additional references to OF members who have not posted feedback threads. If anyone thinks I have made an error or omission in this listing, please send me a direct message, and I will happily make any necessary correction.

    Apparently not much interest on OF, so I will probably start an eBay auction in the next couple of days, at which point it will no longer be available on the forum. Please reach out if you're interested.
