DESCRIPTION
Rare 1970s Scubapro Steel Diver with Original Grey Ghost Bezel
Scubapro, primarily known for its innovative diving equipment, also produced a limited number of dive watches in the 1970s that have since become highly collectible. These timepieces, designed for professional divers, emphasize durability and functionality, often featuring rugged steel cases and reliable automatic movements. Scubapro watches were built to endure harsh underwater conditions, cementing the brand’s reputation for quality in the diving community.
The 1970s Scubapro steel dive watch, particularly in its original, unpolished condition, stands out for its rarity and historical significance. This specific model, notable for its “grey ghost” bezel insert, is a prime example of the brand’s dedication to practical design and reliability. Its robust construction, tritium hands, and patina-laden dial reflect the passage of time, while the recent professional servicing ensures that the movement remains precise. Collectors value this model not only for its aesthetics but also for its enduring performance and rarity in the vintage watch market.
Key Details To Consider
This vintage 1970s Scubapro diver’s watch is a remarkable example of an untouched classic, preserved in its original unpolished and unrestored steel case. The black dial is exceptionally clean, showcasing beautifully aged indices with a warm patina, complemented by matching tritium hands.
The original crystal has noticeable scratches, but the dial beneath remains flawless, with all visible marks confined to the crystal. A rare feature of this piece is the “grey ghost” bezel insert, making it highly sought after among collectors. The bezel itself functions securely, with precise clicking.
The movement was professionally serviced in July 2024, ensuring accurate timekeeping. This watch is paired with a new 20mm camo green military strap, offering a fresh yet fitting contrast to its vintage charm.
