  • I'm sure this has been done to death... But, what is a nice vintage inspired dive/skin diver that has a box crystal, under 40mm and under £1000?
    Yema has QC issues and not sure about the value of them. Squale heritage... hmm close but... Am I missing obvious brands? Does Seiko do a box crystal diver that's not 14mm thick?

  • Another option is wolbrook / Douglas - 40mm skin diver with a choice of sapphire or boxed hesalite - the watch Neil Armstrong wore in real life apparently

    Alsta also do some skin divers at 40mm I think but poss not box crystal

    The squales above look nice

    Zodiac sea wolf?

  • Interesting, I had forgotten about the Douglas. Would make a nice partner to my speedmaster.
    @Regal I'll check out the Seiko spb143 too. Not really vintage but it may outlast my vintage phase... So that's a plus. Thanks. I'd always assumed it wouldn't wear well.
    @Ricochet thanks! Will try to find one in-store... Like most of the mido, not sure on the handset.

    I should add, that it's the plexiglass roundness and smoothness on the speedmaster crystal that led me to desire a diver with a similar vibe.
