AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Iconic and highly sought-after Croton Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver. This 1960s tool watch combines the functionalities required for aviation and diving in a design that has become a classic.

The specimen presented here stands out for its honesty and originality, displaying the signs of time that collectors appreciate.

Technical Details and Conditions

Dial: Original "Reverse Panda" navy blue with two white subdials. Baton hands and the chronograph seconds hand are vividly red. The luminescent material on the indices and hands has developed a consistent patina.

Case: Stainless steel, diameter of about 36 mm (excluding the crown). The case does not appear to have been polished recently and shows scratches, marks, and dings from use over the decades.

Lunetta: Original external rotating lunette with insert for the countdown (countdown), showing wear and color loss consistent with age.

Glass: domed Plexiglass.

Back cover: screw-on, steel, shows heavy external scratches from opening.

Strap: blue rubber strap in the “Tropic” SeaCult style, not vintage but in the correct style.

Note on the movement: The watch comes from a private collection and has not been professionally tested prior to sale. It is therefore sold as is, to be serviced. The watch runs perfectly.

An opportunity to acquire a historic chronograph in authentic condition. The photos are an integral part of the description; please examine them carefully. Free insured shipping.
