Here's a link to the master list, scroll down to the dive section and you'll see where the quartz version of this watch sold for $365 with a SS Jubilee style bracelet, and an automatic version of the 1000m sold for around $1600 or so.

: Sorry for the double post, but it's a heavy
: case watch very similar in appearance to the
: Spirotechnique 200m automatic. I bought one
: new in 1986 for around $300 I think, and at
: the time it was my understanding the
: Spirotechnique "look alike" with
: the automatic ETA 17 oir 25 jewel movement
: (they offered both, depending on the year)
: cost about $1000 more than the quartz
: version.

: The image with the blue band is the 1000m. The
: black band is the Spiro, you can see the
: obvious similarities. Both are GREAT
: watches, I wore my quartz from 1986 to 2004
: when a pin failed and I lost the watch and
: didn't know it fell off due to the physical
: activity at the time, sadly. I looked and
: looked for it, but never found it, so I
: embarked on a worldwide search for a
: replacement, and became aware of the
: Spirotechnique line, etc.

:
: Here is one of mine, with a replacement non
: sapphire crystal, which I will have
: replaced. It gives a good view of the dial
: face.

:
: Here is a side view, comparing the 1000m with
: the Spirotechnique automatic watch. Quartz
: is blue band, Spiro has the black band.

:
: 1000m and Spiro side by side.

:
: Back view side by side

:
: face to face view

:
: close up view of a Spiro

:
: One of my Spirotechniques with a black Ridgo
: deployment band.

: Hope this helps clear up what the 1000m is.
: It's a big heavy case with their classic
: dial face, and the cool 4-oclock protected
: crown, but with a lower cost quartz
: movement. All said and done, I'd still be
: wearing mine with great pride if I had not
: lost it.
