Classic dive watch from the development era of deep dive ratings, this is the Triple Safe case type developed by Jenny and used by Philip Watch, Ollech & Wajs and Haste de Luxe, where there is no caseback, the movement is front loaded and the crystal held in place by a locking r...ing.
A good write up on Caribbean watches on Richard Askhams watchspotblog if you are interested in more history
For a watch that is almost 50 years old there is expected fine wear and one ding on the case. The crystal is over 5mm thick and is clear and is crack free.
On old tropic strap, type 11419. This strap has been on the watch through my ownership and was fitted when I found the watch 15 years ago.
As with all old dive watches I would not ever take this underwater due to vintage nature and rarity
From my personal collection, some project to finish and some watches have to go !
Thanks for looking
