We present here a very rare Railmaster dressed as a Seamaster at the request of the Pakistan Air Force and delivered to this army corps on 30 November 1964, as attested by the extract from Omega's archives. At the time, the Pakistan Air Force did not wish to receive watches with references to the railways, which were still under British control in Pakistan at the time. This watch has a beautiful patinated dial. It has undergone a complete overhaul and is in perfect working order. Special feature: only a copy of the archive extract will be delivered with the watch, the previous owner having mislaid his original when moving house. As Omega has not been issuing new archive extracts for several months, it is refusing for the time being to issue duplicates of extracts that have already been issued. However, Omega has confirmed that its position on duplicates alone may change in the coming months. In fact, all that is involved is reprinting a document that has already been printed and paid for when the applicant placed the order.
As a specialist in ZRC Vintage, we are pleased to present this Series 2 "date" in exceptional condition. Magnificent black dial, uniform and unstained. The bezel insert is in very good condition, which is rare for these ZRCs. It is quite unusual to find a model of this quality, which explains its rarity and therefore its price. For very discerning collectors of vintage ZRC watches. The watch has just been serviced by our watchmaker and works perfectly.
A Benrus military watch made in February 1978 for the special forces of the US army, in particular the famous "seal's". Less than 1,000 of the Type 2 model were produced. The movement is a benrus gs1d2 "Stop Seconde" at 21,600 vibrations per hour developed by benrus on the basis of an eta 2620 calibre blank. It has a power reserve of forty-two hours after winding. The curved acrylic glass (Plexiglas) is 3 mm thick to withstand violent shocks, and also acts as a water-resistant cover, since the back of the watch is in one piece, like the omega seamaster 600 proplo. The screw-down crown ensures that the whole thing is water-resistant. On the back of the case are the identification and endowment markings, as well as the allocation number and date. From a collector's point of view, this extremely rare timepiece is highly sought-after and enjoys a level of popularity and prestige on the other side of the Atlantic that is rarely equalled.
This Bullhead model, reference 146.011-69, was created by Omega in 1969. It was originally designed for racing and rally drivers, who used to wear the watch on the inside of their wrist so that they could immediately see the stopwatch while driving without having to turn their wrist over. It has the crown and push-pieces at 12 o'clock. It is powered by the hand-wound calibre 930. The Omega "Bullhead" is definitely unlike any other and has become a highly coveted Omega because it was produced in small numbers. The watch presented is in exceptional condition, very close to "new from stock", with a beautiful Rallye bracelet and its Omega pin buckle. Like all our watches, it has been fully serviced and is in perfect working order.
In June 1961, the watchmaking company SUCCOLO ROCHET COMPAGNIE, based in Annecy (France), brought out its first model of the GRANDS-FONDS 300m, which was to become legendary and a must-have for every diving watch collector. This watch was assigned to the combat diver units of the French Navy, and more specifically to the TOULON Arsenal. The first two versions of this series 1 have the particularity of having a caseback fitted with two rivets that need to be replaced at each overhaul. Imparable but undoubtedly too restrictive... which led to a return to a more traditional solution with a screwed back with six notches. Note that the inscriptions are identical from one to the other, with one difference: on the second, a defect appears that was to be found until Series 3 in the writing of BRFVFTE S.G.D.G, where two E's have had their lower bar removed. This last production of Series 1 with screwed bottoms is even rarer and was only produced for a few months before the arrival of Series 2. This last series from 1962 was the only one to be supplied to the French Navy. Under the bonnet, it's a good old Felsa 4000 movement that makes the heart of this rare bird beat. A small automatic movement with 11.5 lines, it oscillates at 18,000 vph and boasts a 44-hour power reserve. This model is exceptional in its beauty and quality (impossible to find on the market). The forthcoming reissue of this Series 1 by ZRC should put the spotlight on this model. Like a Fifty Fathoms or a Polaris, it will undoubtedly be a very good investment for years to come.
In 1963, Jaeger-Lecoultre launched a pre-production run of 50 pieces of its new Mémovox Polaris model. It was not until 1965 that the definitive model was produced in large numbers by its workshops under the reference E 859. 1,714 examples of this watch were produced and sold between 1965 and 1970. How many remain in private collections today? It was a unique watch at the time, revolutionising the world of scuba diving with its alarm function and rotating inner bezel. The Polaris is easily recognisable by its three crowns, one of which operates the hours and minutes, the other the inner rotating bezel and the last regulates the alarm by means of a central indexed disc. When it debuted in 1965, it was marketed with a lacquered dial and applied steel hour-markers. Then came the second model in 1968 under the reference E859, which adopted a matt dial and large luminescent hour-markers, more suited to diving. The Compressor-type case has 3 backs, one protecting the movement, the second ensuring water-resistance, and the third openworked to help the ringing sound propagate. The model on offer dates from 1968 and comes with an archive extract issued by Jeager Lecoultre. This is a historic diving model. A grail for the great collectors of diving watches, on a par with Blancpain's Fifty Fathoms. The value of this model has risen steadily, even during periods of market downturn. It is undoubtedly one of the best investments of the moment, and it is not unrealistic to predict that it will fetch well over €40,000 in the next few years.
Splendid and very very rare Airin 1000 M quartz with a beautiful patina. in perfect working order. excellent service and replacement.
The Favre Leuba Deep Blue 59863 offered here is a professional diver's watch from the 1970s. It has a rotating bakelite bezel, also known as a roulette bezel thanks to its black and white pattern and red numerals. The basic colour of the dial is a magnificent, perfectly preserved ocean blue. The minute hand with its unique point is a particular highlight. The hands and hour markers contain beautifully aged tritium lume. The central second hand is red. The date is displayed in the red-bordered aperture at 6 o'clock. The hour markers are linked by a white ring with seconds markers. The Favre Leuba Deep Blue is powered by the in-house self-winding movement. The automatic FL1153 calibre is in perfect working order and keeps accurate time. The large winding crown is original and bears the Favre Leuba logo. The stainless steel case measures 40 mm and fits snugly around the wrist.
