Vintage Squale Eagle Star full-size diver

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.

Bump with price drop to $875.

Now listed elsewhere, including BIN on eBay.

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.

Last bump.

According to my reading of the sales forum rules, it's ok to post a link to the eBay auction:

You always have very nice things Dan S
