Any pics of single crown super compressors? (Zodiac Seawolf style?)

I just picked one up!

A new arrival. Been waiting a long time to pick up one of these beauties.
In 1961 when this was made, scuba divers would have been very rare and dive watches even rarer.
Most watches back then were <35mm so this would have appeared huge.

Can someone explain to me what these are? Is there a depth requirement attached to the categories compressor and super compressor or is it a style of watch?

Didn't want to be the turd in the punchbowl but since you asked: None of the modern watches in this thread are Super Compressor watches.
This question has been asked and answered a few times here.
EPSA was the case manufacturer of Compressor, Compressor 2, and Super Compressor cases.
It has nothing to do with single or double crowns or internal bezels.

Thanks for the explanation!

Check out the Tictocdoc post in this thread. He's added a link that gives good information on these watches.

Cheers.

What exactly is a compressor watch, the ones shown seem to have one thing in particular, large crystals? and two crowns. Are they meant to seal themselves off with higher pressures? Never mind I found this: (very informative)

I think this one qualifies as an actual compressor
