Horological Meandering

Longines Skin Diver Nautilus Ref 7921. The first diving watch from Longines.

A super rare beauty, from the late 50's. Finding one, moreover a correct one, is super challenging.

This one has been auctioned by Phillips, some months ago.

The elder sister of the Longines Diver we all know.

Needless to say that it is one of my vintage Longines long hunt...

Best,

Nicolas

Gorgeous gorgeous piece!

A good player in the vintage diving watch universe, indeed. [nt]

The 7921 is just awesome!

As you said a true challenging "mission" finding a nice exemplar. The one sold by Phillips is in great condition and the dial has a super cool patina. Best.

There is another vintage Longines I would love to find... The Ref 7981.

I am deeply in love also with the ref 7150-1, a legend Diver watch.

Best. ...

Nice specimen. [nt]

Mmm I saw a stunning ref 7981 skin Diver in Nos condition on Parmegiani's website a few days ago. I really love the particularity of the red bezel but I still prefer ref 7150-1

By: Freccero : October 30th, 2017-16:22

Best.

Agreed. 7150 first, then 7981 skin diver. [nt]

I think, taking a few steps back, that there is a lot of undiscovered value in a lot of vintage Longines.

The vintage divers are incredible beauties. Cheers, HSTE

Well, there are quite a lot of vintage Longines which are reaching the sky since these last 5 years. Sadly. [nt]
