Why We Love it

Why We Love It 

While the brand name 'Jenny' may not ring a bell, their 'golden era' diving watches are becoming increasingly coveted amongst tool watch collectors. Manufactured  in the 1960s and 1970s, these pieces were made to a very high standard, designed for professional use and using high quality components. Constructed using solid stainless steel cases often shared with more popular name brand models from the time, these watches have all the looks and functionality you could ever want.

Fitted in its 39mm cushion case is a silver Scotchlite exotic dial which bears more than a passing resemblance to the famous DOXA 'Army' model. With a closer inspection, you'll notice the watch is fitted with a fourth hand and a secondary locking crown at 2:00 - classic hallmarks of an alarm function. 

Sure enough, the Jenny Sealab is a diving alarm in the same vein as the Jaeger-Lecoultre Polaris or Deep Sea Alarm Models, but cased in a DOXA Sub-esque cushion style with an acrylic rotating dive timing bezel. In near mint unused condition, this piece still has remnants of its case back sticker intact! It is fitted to an era appropriate Tropic brand rubberized dive strap and wouldn't look out of place on the wrist of a Team Cousteau member surfacing after a successful underwater documentary film shoot.

If you're attracted to the 'underdogs' of the vintage dive watch market, you just found a winner - all the looks and functionality without the price tag to match.

The Story

During the mid 1960s, the Jenny (pronounced "Yanni") Watch Company patented their MONOBLOC Triple-Safe case designs,  which were used on their own self-branded pieces, as well as sold to brands such as Jacques Monnat, Dugena, Haste, Jacquet Droz, Fortis, Aquadive and Philip Watch, among others.  These early professional-grade divers were all marketed with the "Caribbean" name, signifying their aquatic pedigree.  The designer of these pieces contributed his knowledge and technical know-how to the development of the earliest DOXA Sub Series divers, forming a connection with the brand early on.  

Fast forward in 2011, a company bought back AQUADIVE spare parts and relaunched the reliable watch brand. Based in Pforzheim in Germany, the brand relaunched AQUADIVE paying tribute to the legendary watches of the 1960s and 70s, while remaining 100% authentic.
