Wakmann Diver

Aficionados of vintage Breitling will recognize the name Wakmann as the importer of Breitling in the United States prior to the 1980s. As Breitling's official import partner, Wakmann would receive unassembled watches directly from Switzerland and put them together for retail sale - often with specially commissioned Wakmann branding, as is the case here. They also commissioned timepieces from many of the great houses, and utilized top quality movements, ranging from Valjoux to Lemania.

This beautiful diver is an excellent representation of the Wakmann legacy. In beautiful condition, this block-case piece features a sunburst silver dial, rotating bezel, and 3 o'clock date window. In many respects it represents the classic image of a diver from the era. Perhaps the most lovely element of the piece is a nicely patinaed set of numerals and hands. 

This piece is powered by a 17 jewel automatic winding movement and packs a strong value proposition in its vintage charm.
