Here's something special for dive watch fans. The 1969 Jacques Monnat, which was made under a number of brand names including Jenny and Philip Watch. At 42mm square (which wears much larger than round watches) this is a massive chunk of steel. It looks smashing on the wrist. This watch has been fully serviced a year ago by my Breitling trained master watchmaker. It features a turnable yellow bakelite diving bezel and screw-down crown. The dial It is in absolutely stellar condition, the black surface is shiny and the yellow markers are crisp and bright. The bezel shows some patina. The crystal is new, and shows no crazing typical in these watches. I have also included a great looking yellow holes racing strap which to me compliments the watch perfectly.
Case Excellent+. Solid Stainless Steel. 43mm. Screw-down crown. Engraved Caribbean Triple Safe. The bezel has darkened some with age and shows some wear as seen, and shows some bubbling as seen in the photos. Dial: Excellent+. Gloss black with only the lightest patina. Yellow numerals pop. Movement: High Quality 17j Swiss Automatic movement, ETA 2452 recently overhauled, keeping good time. It is in cosmetically beautiful shape as well, but unfortunately I haven't been able to include a photograph since the case is complex and needs to be opened by a watchmaker. If you must see one, message me and I'll find a way. Strap:I have included a yellow holes racing strap. I've collected restored and sold vintage wrist watches for the past twenty years with a focus on chronographs, divers, and compressors. May you love your new watch as I have.
