I have watched a KZread channel from a British watchmaker and he has refinished a couple of those Sears watches. I believe he said many have the Heuer movements.

Beautiful skindivers ! The reason I think people believe that the Tradition skin diver mk1 was assembled by Blancpain is because the case (called MC4) is the same as the first generations of Blancpain and Waltham bathyscaphes. But plenty of other brands were using that case in that time, like Mondia, Marc Nicolet, Vetta, Squale, ... in fact, Mondia made the exact same watch as the Tradition, only differences were black dial & the markers, which were orange and unlumed.

Wow they are awsome I absolutely love vintage skin divers... I recently brought 3.... A cardinal submarine which I believe is made by sicura, a Mortima which is made in France, and a Sicura... 👍

Vintage skin divers look very cool. I love seeing stuff like this on KZread. I watch a lot of watch dealer videos and I'm starting to get sick of seeing the same brands and models over and over and over again, the Patek 5711s, the Rolex Submariners and Daytonas, the fugly and tasteless Richard Milles..... same shit all the time. Nice to see stuff like this. I have a vintage Cimier skin diver from the 60s I paid about $150 for and I wear it as much as my Tudor Black Bay. Thanks for the vid.

Very cool. Hope to know enough to make such a purchase one day.

Great video. Vintage watches are my favorite.

I was just looking at a vintage Waltham on Thursday, not the one in your video but a dress watch for £195. There are some beautiful vintage pieces out there looking for new homes. It came serviced with a 6 month warranty, I'm tempted. Interesting vid, cheers mate.

Classy looking watches, I could quite happily wear that Waltham as my one and only watch guess I'll have to make do with my skx 013!!!

Vintage Rocks!!

Another great video my man. I bought a vintage diver called “Chateau”. It’s really hard to find any info on it as well. I’ll get around to making a video of it somehow!

You have very good taste in watches my friend... =)

They look great and what exactly were skin divers used for

Top tip, I freed a seized bezel with a little bit of wd40, fixed.

Are the Orvin divers from the 1960s with Swiss movements also Sears watches?

Yeah, Vostok still uses the same case design. Well, my red one does, at least.

Hi Chris, could you post the ebay link to the $19 oyster bracelet. Great review thanks.

Too small for me like so many vintage divers but both are gorgeous.

Sears Roebuck.Is there any connection with nowadays Roebuck Watch Company?

No connection

When you spoke about the bezel i feel you were padding the video time

Amazing how there's basically nothing out there on that Sears diver. After watching the video, I did my own search 🧐 I was able to confirm your suspicion that the caseback is not the right one. The proper one is sterile in the center section. However, on the inside of the caseback, it's stamped: SEARS ROEBUCK CO SWISS MADE

It's pronounced "Bath-a-scafe".....French you know!

The pronunciation of BLANCPAIN is NOT BLANPaaN, is more like BLONPEN
