THIS IS A RARE BIRD WITH THE VENUS 210 TICKING INSIDE AND WOULD PROBABLY DATE THIS TOWARDS THE EARLIER SIDE OF PRODUCTION FOR THIS MODEL. I WOULD ARGUE THAT THESE ARE THE MOST ICONIC DIVE CHRONOS OF THE ERA. THE CHRONOMASTER AVIATOR SEA DIVER CHRONOGRAPHS HAVE BECOME MUST-HAVES FOR ANY SERIOUS WATCH COLLECTOR. WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A SUPPLE BLACK CALF LEATHER MINIMALIST STRAP WHICH LOOKS SUPER SPORTY AND DASHING ON THIS DIVER. CHRONO ACTION IS CRISP, AND ALL FUNCTIONS ZERO OUT PERFECTLY. WATCH WAS SERVICED LAST YEAR AND IS RUNNING VERY SMOOTH. MOVEMENT: THIS CHRONOMASTER RUNS ON THE MORE RARELY SEEN 17 JEWEL VENUS 210.THE FAMOUS BROAD ARROW HANDSET LOOKS TOTALLY BOSS ON THIS EXAMPLE WITH THAT DARKENED COFFEE COLORED AGED LUME. WHAT MAKES THESE SO GREAT IS THAT RED COUNTDOWN REGATE SEGMENT ON THE MINUTE TOTALIZER SCALE. I LOVE THAT MATTE BLACK DIAL WITH THE PERFECTLY AGED LUME PLOTS. THIS IS ONE OF THE CLASSIC DIALS OF THE 60s, IN MY OPINON. DIAL: WOWZA, THIS DIAL IS TRULY SPECIAL.I’VE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN OF A CLASSIC AND COOL CASEBACK INSCRIPTION, AND IT DOESN’T GET BETTER THAN “HERB”.

THE ORIGINAL BLACK MILITARY STYLE BEZEL IS IN GREAT CONDITION WITH SOME MINOR SPOTS OF FADE ALONG THE PERIPHERY WHICH GIVES THIS ONE A COOL WEATHERED LOOK. CASE IS IN NICE VINTAGE CONDITION MAINTAINING ALL ITS ORIGINAL FACETS AND CHAMFERS WITH MINOR HAIRLINES THROUGHOUT.

CASE: SLEEK AND SEXY OVERSIZED ALL-STEEL SKIN-DIVER CASE MEASURING A NICE 38.4mm ACROSS CASE NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 44.7 mm LUG TO LUG.

FOR SALE IS A SUPER RARE EARLY TO MID 60s NIVADA CROTON CHRONOMASTER AVIATOR SEA-DIVER WITH THE RARE VENUS 210 CONFIGURATION.
