ABOUT THIS WATCH:
The 1970s brought along so many fun cool "affordable" dive watch designs. These were tool watches for the masses and fit so well into todays fashion trends. This particular dial was also used by Sicura and possibly another or two at that time. The eyecatching sunburst guilloche dial with its white grid pattern really sets itself apart from the pack giving a lot of character.
