This late non-Suwa dive watch was bought new by a young man who had just joined the navy. He wore it through his entire career and it was a working watch. He documented his time in the navy and his ownership of the watch. The new owner will get that material.

• Watch is 100% original to itself, never serviced

• Dial resist text is a nice unfaded brick red, all printing is sharp & bright.

• Lume on dial, hands and pip are all original and excellent. Dial and hands are basically mint.

• 6309A movement is in very good bright unserviced condition. It is 100% functional but should be serviced before wearing.

• Case shows wear and marks from having lived a working life on the wrist of a sailor aboard ship, but no abuse. Top brushing is still evident, case lines are sharp with some dinks here and there. The original owner did welding in the navy and there is an attached ball of metal, see photos.

• No corrosion damage, no signs of water intrusion

• Crystal is original to the watch and has numerous scratches and marks.

• Bezel rotates with clicks for a full 360º.

• Insert shows wear on the surfaces. Pip is nice.
