During the 1950s and 1960s the brand introduced a range of dive-inspired models built for everyday reliability rather than professional saturation diving. The Waterman series reflects this philosophy, pairing strong legibility, automatic winding and useful water resistance in a versatile vintage package that remains highly wearable today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"5q4cw2\" data-start=\"772\" data-end=\"790\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eWhat's on Offer\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"792\" data-end=\"1395\"\u003eThis Rodania Waterman is a handsome 1960s automatic dive watch presented in excellent vintage condition. The glossy black dial is exceptionally clean, featuring bold luminous batons, oversized Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9, distinctive super chunky Dauphine arrow hands, and the eye-catching red-on-white date display at three o'clock. The internal rotating timing bezel is operated by the secondary crown at four o'clock, while the upper crown controls the movement. Housed beneath a domed plexiglass crystal and paired with a black rubber strap, it offers classic skin-diver styling with plenty of everyday practicality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"792\" data-end=\"1395\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOverall condition is excellent - the stainless steel case shows light honest wear appropriate to its age while retaining crisp lines. The glossy black dial remains beautifully preserved with attractive, evenly aged luminous material. Both crowns operate correctly, the internal rotating bezel functions as intended, and the watch is fitted with a modern black rubber strap ready to wear.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Watch Specialist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57284711940471,"sku":"vws4257cs","price":2750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0139\/8092\/6009\/files\/VWS-4257cs_0.jpg?v=1783512460","url":"https:\/\/vintagewatchspecialist.com\/products\/rodania-waterman-date-automatic-dive-watch-in-super-compressor-case-c-1960s","provider":"Vintage Watch Specialist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
