First dive watch

par Invité Dim 10 Fév - 12:30

After a long time I decided to buy a dedicated dive watch, I had a citizen (picture below) but now is time to get serious! So I bought a Rotary Aquadive model 50.
Stainless steel, stainless steel case back, rotating bezel, 47mm w/o crown, please see photos for condition, WR 100 m, mineral glass, electronic movement ESA 1954 ‘Dynatron’
Specifications:12.5''', 13 rubies, Ø = 28.20mm, H = 5.55mm, f = 28800 A/h, screw in type crown. A grail for some people, a diving tool for others for is the first truly dive watch!
"The ‘Pièce de résistance’ of this watch is its depth gauge, which is mechanical and works using a Bourdon tube. This device is an oil-filled curved brass tube that has a membrane in a sleeved orifice between the lugs at 12 o’clock."

Hi,

welcome on MDP and many thanks for share that wonderfull diver's, very original model with the pressure gauge, a nice dial, an atypic electric movement and a almost new state:!

Thanks for the good words! It's interesting watch because of the way it measure the depth. The citizen I was talking is the one below, also a diver's watch with a depth meter.

thanks for this very nice post on this very interesting watch.
I am fasinated by the "meca-Quartz" type of calibre
the depth gauge is interesting as well.
