First dive watch
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."
More details about it: http://deskdivers.com/Site/AD50.html

Re: First dive watch
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.

Re: First dive watch
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.

Nice Rotary, tanks for sharing your pictures !
I have the same Citizen but mine has the depth in feet (I bought it in Florida, 20 years ago...).
