Not being able to move around outside owing to Covid 19 has allow me to have more time on the internet to search for watches. After much searching, I have found a nice skin diver from Lecce Italy. My key considerations for a skin diver are: size, automatic movement and special dial..
This is a Vintage
Diver "DIMA WATCH" with Serial number 79413 from the 1960s. It is a good size Diameter
37.5mm x 47mm excluding screw down crown. What made this watch unique is that It has a steel & bakelite dotted bezel at 39mm, similar to the early Rolex 6542 with Bakelite bezel insert and the ZRC grand fonds. It comes with a Felsa 4007 automatic movement and it comes with a shining black dial
plus an elastic rivet bracelet.
What made the watch stands out is the Bakelite dotted insert as well as its large dotted markers on the dial and the overall condition is very good l.
The Dima skin diver's Bezels resembles that of the ZRC Grand Fonds, but the watch is at 1/4 of its price.
The watch still retains its original winding crown and looked unpolished
