How about a Zodiac?

...Or are they from the 1970s?  I was never sure whether they were serious diving watches or just chunky jewellery (as Rolexes are for most of us desk divers). At least they should be available at a reasonable price.

Maybe you remember a previous thread posted some years ago. I posted a picture of what are, to me, among the nicest and the most important Diving watches from the 50ies: Now, let's go to the 60ies... There were much more brands involved in Diving watches,...  

Thanks for looking, Descartes. It was a 5 years old post I had in stock.

as my wife would say. :) What a seriously awesome collection of 60s dive watches! I wouldn't know where to begin to pick a favourite, so your idea to collect them all is the best. :) Thanks for an eye-popping moment Nicolas. ;) cheers fernando

That sounds very familiar, indeed.

Great collection...

but I'd add Eberhard to the list of the best of the late '50s and '60s. Cheers, Tony C.

You GuyS inspire me, choose something and stay focused* on it in order to get the max of it and being thoroughly involved in the subject. Do not do anything without passion. Congrats * ok ok Nicolas is focused on many subjects I can't deny :)

Well, diving watches are a true passion of mine, among a few other themes, indeed.

Definitely the golden age

Where diving really developped and not only military. Fouvrites ? The early Fifty definitelw and... the Breitling 807 ( nasty choice :p ) Cheers François

As you know

Quite a lot missing… Still, a very fine lineup your have there. Bravo. Three of them also happen to be among my favorites because they are completely different. Early scaffograph, red bezel, and cricket mariner I must confess I am more of a 50's divers pe... 

LOL. Well, I will come back with some hidden additions.

You didn't see all... ;) But I kind of agree with you, Divers from the Fifties are more attractive, in terms of design. Best, Nicolas

Almost impossible to beat your collection my dear friend!...
