FSOT: Favre Leuba Bathy 160 Diver 10 ATU, Model 53253 - 60's

For sale or trade this huge Favre Leuba Bathy 160 Diver, model 53253.

One of the company’s greatest achievements was in 1966 when the bathy 160 was introduced to the world. The name ‘bathy’ comes from the the Greek word bathys meaning ‘the deep’ as in deep oceans. This timepiece was one of the first to have an accurate mechanical depth gauge registering depths up to 160 feet/50 meters, and a screw down crown.

MINT condition and completely serviced by my master watch maker, it runs perfectly and all functions work as they should.
