Super compressor watches (EPSA)

Ervin Piquerez S.A case maker to many brands…

Universal Geneve

Longines

JLC

To name a few…

A true compressor (water pressure increasing water resistance)

Anyone else out there a fan of these vintage beauties?

I had one…it’s not the case size that is the problem. It’s the massively long lugs, and the modern LLD is not a real compressor case either, just a dual crown, which has a weird way of locking the internal bezel, that I found annoying.

There are many vintage EPSA cased watches out there, solid eta movements… the Delvina Geneve is 38mm wears really well.

Well worth a look… 👍🏼

Big fan of these - very versatile and classy! Add to the list Alpina :)

This is my two crowns, internal rotating bezel, but not a diver nor a super compressor, but instead an aviation inspired watch. I love it (the bird in the back is my friend).
