Avia Marino - Incabloc - Automatic - Dive Watch - c.1960s - With ETA 2472 Movement

A Striking Vintage Avia Marino Dive Watch from the 1960s in Original Condition with a Calibre ETA 2472 Movement, Model Reference: 15009. 

The history of Avia watches goes back to the latter end of the 19th century. They made good mechanical lever movement watches under their own brand name and provided watches and movements for other brands including New York, The Ball Watch company and A Wittnauer.

What’s On Offer 

This Avia Marino Divers Watch boasts a beautiful original dial in matt black with tritium rectangular hour indexes which have aged to a rather nice caramel colour. The chunky pencil hands also contain the original lume which has aged in correspondence with the hour plots giving the dial a beautifully even vintage aesthetic. A subtle date aperture at 3 o'clock completes the dial which is encapsulated underneath Plexiglas and encased in stainless steel with a rich black bi-directional bezel which is in nice vintage condition however it does have a tiny amount of lume missing on the 12 o'clock triangle. The tonneau case is in good shape with light signs of wear, all perfectly acceptable for a watch of this age. A great vintage dive watch with lots of character and a very handsome dial, comfortable on the wrist and has excellent meaty proportions at 38mm case width without the crown. A Great buy!
