FS: Holland Diving 500m Swiss Diving Watch 1975

A rarely seen watch in the market, tightly held by European collectors. It is understood that these were specially commissioned by a dive club in the Netherlands using Swiss-made brevet parts of the most serious calibre, as such, very low numbers were ever produced.

Description: Large 42 mm case with a screw-down / recessed crown at the 3 o'clock position. Chunky stainless-steel case (thickness 13mm) and large rotating bezel. Rated to 500 meters. Automatic ETA movement. It comes with a new 20mm rubber tropic-style (small holes) diving strap. Thick mineral glass. Built like a tank!

Condition: In excellent condition for a tool watch with minimal signs of wear with only some faint surface scratches; engraving on back clearly visible. Mineral glass has no visible scratches. Lume material on hands and markers intact and in matching tones (no re-lume). No replacement parts, 100% original. Condition is clearly seen in photos. The watch runs strongly, however the service history is unknown.

Affordable, vintage tool watch on the wrist, and one of models that would be a great addition to any serious collector of vintage Diving Watches. With such rarity, prices should continue to appreciate.

Last eBay auction result as $1,110 (before shipping).

Price: $1050 inclusive of Fedex shipping. Pay by PayPal or Wire. I have 100% rating on eBay and have sold numerous watches on IG.
