Features: This watch was made famous in the 60s ITV series “The Champions”. A super cool 60s diver without the Polaris price tag. Black face with original screen printed dial and lume. Hands may have been re-lumed at some point, although many of examples of this model also have the slightly green tinge. Date ticks over as it should. Rotating bezel.

Condition: Great vintage condition. The watch looks to have had a new acrylic glass fitted prior to Fine Watches acquiring it and has had some polishing done over the years. It keeps relatively good time for a vintage watch of this pedigree, gaining a few seconds per day. The watch has not been tested for water resistance and while cleaned and checked, has not been serviced.
