Hi, Dhan . . .
. . . the Respirator models were manufactured from the late '60s thru the mid '70s, and were designed to be more water resistant than usual. All Respirators were square or rectangular in shape, and were similar in design to EPSA Compressor 2 cases.
These are uncommon watches, and esteemed by collectors; I believe Tony C has one, and wouldn't be surprised if there are a few others floating about in our community. Regarding monetary value, we prefer not to discuss these matters on PuristSPro, but anyone with information is encouraged to inform Dhan by private message.
Cordially, Art
