FS: STUNNING AURICOSTE SPIROTECHNIQUE DIVERS WATCH

Hi,

I am selling this really stunning Zodiac “Deep Dive” Professional 200 Meters divers watch.
The watch has an authentic and very rare Auricoste Spirotechnique dial mounted in.
Both Zodiac and Auricoste shared the exact same case so it’s a perfect fit.
The buyer is getting the watch with both dials which are in NOS condition. He will have no problem wearing the watch with both dials. The reference on the caseback is a Zodiac reference.

The watch is in extremely good condition. Case seems to be untouched with the original shape intact. Both Zodiac and Auricoste dial are just perfect. Same goes for the hands with the original and matching lume.
Bezel in extremely good condition, unidirectional and making a very nice clicking sound.

I have been wearing the watch on a very regular basis the last 9 months. It’s mechanically working perfect, keeping extremely good time and with a great power reserve.
After not wearing it for a couple weeks you pick it up and it just starts thicking. Very reliable ETA 2824 movement.

Best of all is of course the Auricoste Spirotechnique dial which is one of the best looking dials I have ever seen. It’s extremely rare and hard to find.
The golden diver, the Spirotechnique name also in gold colour and that fantastic blue Auricoste logo at 12 o'clock. It's just so cool.
You can read more on the history of the Zodiac, Tag Heuer and Auricoste Spiro’s:
http://www.calibre11.com/heuer-1000m-spirotechnique/

“Auricoste is a French watch brand that focuses on supplying watches to the French military and Navy, meaning that many of the Auricoste watches were military issue,
coming to the second hand market with decommissioning papers.”

I am selling the watch with both dials and with or without a ( worth 125 euros ) Bulang strap with brass buckle ( first picture ).

Price:

Option 1: “head only” with both dials: 1425 euros ( insured shipping included )
Option 2: watch with both dials and Bulang strap: 1500 euros ( insured shipping included )

( I give a full refund in case the watch would not be as described and in case of any problem )

Kind regards,
Bernard
