I just purchased this watch from the original owner who shared a great story about how he was able to buy this special watch back in 1972. This person was an avid Scuba Diver and traveled all the way to the Sinai Peninsula to a place named Sharmel Scheck. It is there, virtually in the middle of the desert that he met a group of divers. They invited him and his wife to join the "expedition" the following day to a dive site names Ras Mohammad, just off the cost of Saudi Arabia.

Two of the people in the group were from Hasselblad AB, from Sweden testing their "new" underwater camera housing, as well as 4 watchmakers from Heuer Switzerland. As a result of diving for a week together, one of the watchmakers agreed to sell one of only two watches he was permitted to buy each year. So a few months after this amazing dive trip, this special watch arrived. This was back in 1972. (I will be getting a more accurate narrative with the exact dates and name of the watchmaker who originally sold this watch to my customer in the next week or so.)

This watch has never been serviced and has been sitting in a safety deposit box for the past 20 years. I even have the original box and extra links
