Last year, we found a cache of Swiss-made cases "new old stock" that were originally manufactured in Switzerland around 1970. We created the original Desk Diver around this vintage case and a few lucky individuals have a new-vintage dive watch out of the box. Having a limited number of cases from over 50 years ago, the Desk Diver sold out quickly.

Introducing the Desk Diver - Professional.

With near identical dimensions, we created the modern Professional Desk Diver. Inspired by a 1970's dive watch that was meant to be more style than "dive" even at the time in the early 70's. The professional Desk Diver though can dive! Rated to 330 Feet, every professional Desk Diver is pressure tested and regulated.

The Professional Desk Diver is designed after a recovered 1970's Swiss made case we found new old stock of. We created a new dial and handset for this watch to match the cases 70's look. The watch has been fitted with a Swiss made Sellita SW200-1b automatic movement and a Sapphire crystal matching the shape of the original. We created a Bracelet for the new version as well with quick release spring bars. The dial, bezel pip, and handset has X1 Superluminova so you can easily see the time in a dark office environment! The "Superlative" Desk Diver for Professionals can now be yours, unofficially certified!

What Swiss Brand Made the original case? The inside of the caseback was marked "Aetos SA - Swiss Made." We could not find much out about this brand in our research, apparently this brand was a Swiss case supplier, thats all we know. We did have fun imagining what the dial and hands might look like, since we had no reference of what it did originally. We recovered these cases from a defunct watch parts supplier who had a gross of new old stock watch parts.
