Wow! At first glance it was too busy. Words or descriptions that immediately popped up in my head were, compass, Breitling busy and Las Vegas casino roulette. But the more I look at it, the more I am fascinated and impressed by its vivid presentation and bright colors. The condition of your example is simply stunning! It looks like it just came out of a sealed box from a jewelry store. I love it! The dial, the bulbous crystal, the case shape, the chunky hour indices with a perfect luminous hue of very light green/blue, they all fit together so well. Thanks for sharing this unusual watch. I think it's fantastic!

: OK.. that was a little unfair, it's not a newly discovered Heuer.
: But, do you not think it has a certain Heuer-ness about it? Like
: a Viceroy on steroids?

: There are many Swiss brands that made use of Piquerez's
: Super-Compressor case in the 60's/70's, and the more I think
: about it, the more I wonder why Heuer didn't use them, surely
: Piquerez would have contacted all it's customers offering the
: case. I guess that by the time Heuer decided to get into the
: divers watch market, the S-C case was old news, shame really.

: It did get me wondering if a Monnin dial would fit in a
: Super-Compressor case!! (How cool would that be) ;0)

: So, what is this.. well, it's a Fortis Marinemaster, with Decomp
: table and inner bezel. Fortis made this model in the 70's, and
: in 2002, to celebrate their 90th Birthday, Fortis raided their
: NOS parts vaults and built 90 of these from original 1970's NOS
: parts - quite an achievement really.

: I love the details, which, in my mind are kinda Autavia-ish.. the
: big high dome crystal, the raised polished metal hour batons -
: lume filled. Date at 6, almost 'tachy-like' decomp inner bezel,
: the red/white/black dial.. it's all very cool to me. It features
: the mandatory divers helmet on the patented Piquerez
: Super-Compressor caseback, cross-hatched dual crowns, that
: lovely S-C Tonneau case with starburst finish.. I just love it!

: Love to hear your thoughts, I know the dial isn't to everyone's
: taste, but I find it fascinating.
