A superb example of a rarely-seen and original Swiss Made ACCURIST Super Waterproof 400. This particular watch has obviously been very well cared for and is in unrivalled condition for its age and comes complete with it's box & certificate.

This would be a super acquisition for a vintage watch collector. On very close inspection there are some signs of its 1960s heritage, some light patina to the dial and some creamy-caramel ageing of the lume at the hour markers and to the hands (the lume no longer glows). The case has a few light marks - evidence that it has actually been worn and it seems that a steel mesh bracelet may have left some marks to the sides of the case between the shoulders. The wonderful applied block-style markers are so typical of its age, as are the deep-dish twin sub-dials with concentric circles to the centre, it also has a domed plexi crystal and then - as if it couldn't get better - an incredible jet black bakelite bezel insert with shaped metal inset batons and numerals. Please see the photos to try to appreciate this awesome watch, however, no matter how well I have tried to capture this watch in the photos, it is really even better in the flesh.

This watch is a very good-looking vintage diver, being a decent-sized stainless steel 39mm case with rotating bezel and oversized crown, but also having the looks and functionality of a chronograph as well - having chronograph pushers, the red 5 minute highlight to the minutes counter sub-dial and red 24 hour and Tachymetre outer scales. The screw-down case back has some signs of wear, but unscrews and screws down securely. This watch houses the highly regarded Landeron Cal. 152 manually wound chronograph movement. It is in full working order keeping excellent time and the chronograph starts, stops and resets as it should.

Just prior to listing it has been tested on Timegraph diagnostics machine and is running to an accuracy within -21 seconds per day and is showing a healthy amplitude reading of 221. The watch is attached to a genuine vintage NOS Tropic 20mm rubber diver's Swiss Made strap, which suits this watch very well. An awesome vintage 1960s diver's watch!
