·1970's
SCUBAPRO 500
Dive Depth rated @ 500 meters
@ 41 mm excluding the screw down crown, approximately 44 mm including the crown with 20 mm between the lugs. Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the bezel, is approximately 13.5 mm.
STAINLESS STEEL SWISS MADE case ref.# 67199 SUPER-WATERRESISTANT "SCUBAPRO WORLDWIDE" Diver's wrist watch came with black or white bezel. With a 17 jewels unadjusted Swiss "SCUBAPRO" stamped ETA 2784 automatic movement with quickset date function, 41 hour power reserve (same as 25 jeweled Tudor Submariner Snowflake 94110 Automatic Movement)
paired with:
20mm FLUOROELASTOMER (FKM) vented divers strap, FKM rubber belongs to the thermoset elastomers (rubber) classification, while silicone plastic belongs to the thermoset plastics.
Famously created “for divers, by divers,” the SCUBAPRO name has become synonymous with quality and innovation. Since the brand’s debut, SCUBAPRO has garnered a well-earned reputation for cutting-edge engineering, research, and product development that has on occasion revolutionized the way we dive.
SCUBAPRO is the world's most iconic brand of dive equipment, built by and for those whose passion is found below the water's surface. Founded in 1963 by Gustav Dalla Valle and Dick Bonin, SCUBAPRO remains the industry's gold standard for innovation, performance, reliability and durability. The company's products blend advanced technologies with intuitive, sophisticated designs, allowing divers to focus on their dive experience, not their gear. For the hobbyist to the professional.

·1969 Speedmaster Professional Mark II Ref 145.014. It was an impulse buy last year while on a two year search for a nice flightmaster. The seller posted fairly bad photos and the crystal was terrible so I was the only bidder and got it for a bargain price IMHO.
Before
After service
The flightmaster I was looking for. It is the last version, Ref 145.036 and is currently at Omega in Bienne for service. The condition was very good (not an easy ask these days for anything less than $5K) and I was delighted at the sell price. I want it to look as good as my Speedy Pro Mark II.
Finally, the Omega that started my love for vintage Omega watches. My Speedmaster Automatic "Mark 4.5" Ref. 176.0012. I chased this model for about 15 years after reading about it on Chuck Maddox's site and finally found the right one in 2018. Not easy because they are hard to find in good condition and are priced all over the place. I snagged this one on eBay for a great price too. Timing is everything I guess.

·did u know that ...
The early version of the 6309 dive watch, perhaps from 1976 to 1980 features the word “Japan A”,
The next version from 1980 to 1988 displays an “A” instead of the previous Japan A
misc:
there are a few pieces out there with "Japan A" whose manufacture stamp date goes past 1980, but these could be dead stock parts inventory being used up by Seiko.
