Vintage 1960’s Aquastar 1701

My “skin diver” sell off continues..

Next up is this rare beauty and pretty much the essence of a 1960s skin diver — though these were serious 10 atm watches in their time!

The case is about 35mm and the lugs are 19mm

Running well, but I don’t know its service history.

Note that this one is nearly identical to the one Don Walsh wore on his record setting dive in the Trieste…

FS: Vintage 1960’s Helbros “Invincible” skin diver

Starting to clear out my collection of skin divers and decided to part with this one.

It’s 35mm (measured across the bezel) wide, with 18mm lugs (edited)

The chrome is pitted on the case (would be a good project to re-chrome) but otherwise it’s still a looker and ready to wear.

Everything works, and it’s running well.

7J movement made by Elgin.

Asking $295.00 including shipping within CONUS (3-5 business days).

Payment : PayPal

No Trade Offers Please.
