If you are looking for a solid vintage dive watch that is built like a tank, has oodles of character and is rarely seen, then this would check all those boxes.  The glossy black "T SWISS MADE T" signed dial is in lovely condition and has a simple yet elegant design.  The original tritium on the dial and hands, which remains fully intact and emits a quick-burst glow after being exposed to bright light, has a slight greenish hue that, in my humble opinion, is overstated in the pictures.  In person its a bit more subdued.  The brass bakelite bezel, which rotates bidirectionally, looks great, with the color of the numbers and inverted triangle complimenting the dial beautifully.  The all stainless steel case with sharp beveled edges is in wonderful condition, free of any visibly noticeable dents or dings.  The outer edge of the case back, which is heavy and more solid than majority of dive watch case backs I've handled, is stamped "SUPER WATERRESISTANT  20 ATM  INCABLOC  AUTOMATIC  FULL STAINLESS STEEL  SWISS" followed by "1872" and "457" stamped in the center.  The crystal has light scratching. 

The ETA 2452 automatic movement with quickset date is exceptionally clean, keeps accurate time and the date rolls over automatically at precisely 12 am.  The quickset date function works seamlessly by moving the hour hand repeatedly between the 20.5 and 24 hour mark until the desired date has been reached.  After recently winding the approximate 4 mm sharply threaded screwdown crown 39 full revolutions the movement had a healthy power reserve of approximately 40 hours.  According to the previous owner the watch underwent a full overhaul in late 2014 by Jack Alexyon at International Watch Works in North Carolina.  There is no paperwork of this service and it is no longer until service warranty.  Even though the watch keeps near perfect time, works as it should and there are watchmaker service markings on the inside of the case back, I recently took the watch to my watchmaker who confirmed that the movement is in top condition and does not presently need a service.  But, considering that it is likely over 45 years old and with vintage watches things can and do often go wrong, a complete overhaul is recommended at some point in the next few years if it will be used as a daily wearer.

This watch measures approximately 38 mm without the crown, approximately 42 mm including the crown and approximately 19 mm between the lugs.  Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the bezel, is approximately 10.5 mm.  Including the crystal case thickness measures approximately 13 mm.  This watch comes on a heavy, all stainless steel unbranded oyster bracelet with adjustable clasp.  There are six adjustments that can be made on the clasp.  The clasp is currently set in the middle of its six adjustments, fitting my approximate 6.5 inch wrists perfectly.  There are two spare bracelet links. 

Although this watch is running strong and keeps near perfect time, given it's vintage nature there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch.  Vintage means old and while my personal belief is that old-school means better quality and workmanship, things can and do go wrong from time to time.  A full overhaul is recommended to keep this watch running strong.  Any servicing costs going forward are your responsibility.
