This ween-end I continue the comparative of the Breil, this time with the Rodania Super Suisso 1000m and the Holland Diving 500m since they all should be from the 70s.

Surprisingly all three have a thickness of 14mm. The "smallest" is the Holland with 40mm wide without crown / 44 long, 20mm lug same as Breil with 41mm wide / 48mm long. The biggest is the Rodania with 44mm wide / 48mm long and 22mm lug.

For the remaining, just enjoy the show...

P/S : I had some discussion about the Breil crystal and come to the conclusion that originally it has a flat mineral glass and not the domed crystal like the Squale or Berios since the Breil case is thicker than those two. Your opinion please...

@francothai as usual hard to find divers, love them all one more like the other, they are all awesome.

Really hard to beat, but i try with this one.
A very rare Nautilus Professional Quartz 500m/1650ft, yes another Quartz, seems i get used to them.
What is rather with that watch?, well finding a Nautilus is a task for itself, i was searching for one for about
4 years, i believe, but this one has a rather rare case if you compare it to the other rare pictures that can be
found in the net.
It has hidden lugs instead of visible ones.

Crystal is a bit scratched, but i might have a spare one, the bezel insert is interchangeable with the
Eterna Kontiki Super, that was also a reason i bought it, to be honest and also with other
divers from this era like the Scubapro 500 or Francos Holland diving.

I was going through some of my vintage watches and came across this Belair Seapearl 600. I did a Google search and came up short of any info. Thought one of you vintage diver buffs might be able to offer up your thoughts. Manual wind Swiss. I will try to post some movement photos later.

Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.






Happy Landings...

Always liked this Ti monster.
Maybe I should ask you to find me a NOS like this one.

Not a Ti watch, it's SS. Pre-Fossil Zodiac never made a watch with a titanium case.

Here's a rare one, with a very interesting attempt at a mineral glass bezel:
