For sale is a so-called "skin diver" men's watch made by the French brand Dionis, presumably dating back to the late 1960s. Skin divers were meant to fill the gap between full blown dive watches, and non-waterproof watches. This particular model features a round case design with an outer diameter of around 36mm, as well as fairly beefy lugs. The dial on this Dionis comes in a matte black with white railroad track around the outer edge, as well as greenish numerals and funky red accents. Said dial has developed quite a bit of patina over the years, adding to that survivalist vibe. The stick shaped polished steel hands were once filled with lume, which sadly disappeared from the hour hand. Inside the watch beats a French made Lorsa P75 manual winding movement: not the pinnacle of watchmaking, but a very reliable and easily serviced caliber. The movement was entirely disassembled, cleaned and lubricated, and is working perfectly. The watch comes fitted to a brand new waterproof black nappa leather strap with generic stainless steel buckle, matching with the skin diver theme.
The example sold here has been worn throughout its life, which is evident by quite a bit of wear marks to its case. The most notable damage can be found on the edges of the lugs. The case is unpolished and therefore in original shape. The dial is fairly aged as mentioned before: you'll either love or hate it, and we sure know which side we're on. The lume on the hands has also degraded and is almost completely gone on the hour hand. Please study the pictures in this listing well: they show the watch in the condition that it is in, with no digital enhancements to make it look better than it is. We are sure that you like honesty, and so do we. Functionally, the watch has been freshly serviced with eye for authenticity, and is working perfectly. Comes as a watch only: sadly no original box or paperwork are accompanying this piece.
Your new timepiece will be packaged with great care, and will be shipped out as fast as possible. We usually ship the same day your payment comes in, and provide full insurance as well as a tracking code for all of our packages. If you have any questions regarding the item or our services, please do not hesitate to reach out. We'll gladly assist as soon as we get the chance.
