Vintage Quartz Divers
Vintage Quartz Divers
Love me some vintage quartz divers from the '70s and '80s. They were often more expensive new than their mechanical counterparts. Now they fly under the radar and good deals can be had.
Still have most, but a couple are gone...

Re: Vintage Quartz Divers
Very nice! And that Scuba Pro... just damn!
I should really start hunting for another Heuer Monin diver (980 case), I sold the one I had too soon.

Great collection Steve! I like the ScubaPro the best!

Here's my pair of 7548s
Re: Vintage Quartz Divers
A few of my vintage quartz diver's
Got this sucker when on active duty in the Navy in the early 1980's brand new had been relumed and new crystal the lume got shot over the years turned a nasty dark grey.
This one was a pain had to get a donor movement since parts were scarce for this early quartz movement.
Here is my only issued quartz diver. Great thread with a lot of cool vintage divers.

Re: Vintage Quartz Divers
Superb thread.. about time the quartz watch was celebrated!! I love them.. I cut my teeth on them.. and I'm proud to not be a quartz snob.
Not sure of the science, but it's said that quartz is more stable at very cold conditions, so more suited to deep dives.
Some of my past beauties..

Re: Vintage Quartz Divers
My past and present quartz collection does not compare to yours Stewart!
I'd still like an .023 !!
