Precista watches, renowned for their durability and precision, have a storied history rooted in military heritage. Established in the mid-20th century, Precista was initially known for producing robust timepieces for the British Ministry of Defence. Their watches became standard issue for various branches of the armed forces, prized for their reliability under extreme conditions.
The brand gained prominence with its diver's watches in the 1960s and 70s, specifically designed to meet stringent military specifications. These models featured water-resistant cases, luminous dials, and rugged construction, making them favourites among professional divers and military personnel alike.

In recent years, Precista has experienced a revival through Timefactors, a company dedicated to preserving the legacy of classic watch designs. Modern Precista watches continue to honour their heritage by blending vintage aesthetics with contemporary technology. This fusion ensures that Precista remains a respected name among watch enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.

 

What's on Offer

This 1980s Precista dive watch is in great vintage condition and would be an asset to any collection, besides looking great on the wrist! Just look at the striking dial - rich black with chunky hour plots lumed with Tritium (denoted by the circled T) which has aged to a beautiful buttery yellow evenly across the dial including the hands. The coin edged steel bezel is also in nice shape as are the rounded crown guards. To the case back you will note the original military engravings, which include the pheon, an arrow that denotes the watch as the property of the MoD. The NATO reference of 6645-99-757-3314 and serial number of 2129/89 to the reverse of the case back of the watch for sale confirms it was issued to the Royal Navy in 1988.

The watch is running well and at 39mm, has a nice presence on the wrist whilst remaining comfortable. A superb watch, very wearable and with British military history - a great buy indeed.
