okay now that's just cool 👍

1978 vintage but not really a diver.

That's a countdown timer bezel as opposed to elapsed time used in dive watches.

Great vintage electric.

Check out the dial similarities. First watch I bought when I was a kid, in the 70s

Really cool design. I’d love to see a modern production run using this design. I’ve been looking at Roman numerals lately and this is a unique execution.

·

That is a sharp watch!

·

·

That’s a good looking vintage Timex

·

Nicely maintained vintage watch..

·

Best looking Timex...ever

Damn.. that's nice. It would certainly give my 74 Skin diver a run for it's money 👍🏻

·

That’s gorgeous. Begging for a black rubber strap imo 😉👍🏻

·

Nice! That’s probably the cleanest looking Timex I’ve seen so far 👌🏼

·

Class! What’s the reference?

·

Beautiful watch 💙

·

Love the countdown bezel!!

·

Really weird seeing the bezel reversed, does it go the opposite direction? Solid piece

·

Hard to beat such a beautiful small diver.

It's not the original case. That case was chewed up and not savable. The original case was a cushion style.

It's bi-directional

'78 was the year I graduated High School ... would love to have that beautiful vintage Timex from those daze (or a modern re-issue) to commemorate that occasion!

It was completely torn down and refurbished

The bezel is for counting down to zero instead of measuring elapsed time. Very useful!

Is it? Looks remarkable nonetheless. Perhaps it was for the best :)
