Ultra - Small Second Bathyscape - No reserve price - Men - 1970-1979

Ultra Small Second Bathyscape – Mechanical – Indigo Tropical Dial – 45 × 43 mm A distinctive vintage timepiece with bold proportions and an evocative maritime character, this Ultra Small Second Bathyscape combines a substantial chromed case with an atmospheric indigo tropical dial. Its contrasting outer scales, sculpted bezel and small seconds display create a striking composition, while visible patina gives the watch an unmistakably aged appearance. The broad hands and applied baton markers frame a dial rich in texture and colour variation. A date window at 3 o’clock adds everyday practicality, complemented by the separate seconds subdial at 6 o’clock. A generic leather strap completes its confident vintage presentation.

Its appeal begins with the details: the deeply ribbed bezel, contrasting scales and broad hands give the design a purposeful, almost instrument-like presence. The indigo tropical dial provides a softer counterpoint to that bold exterior. Its faded tones and scattered patina create an individual appearance, offering the visual depth that makes an aged watch so engaging to examine. The separate seconds display adds another distinctive element. Positioned beneath the central hands, it brings balance to the dial and offers a quiet expression of the mechanical movement within. For an enthusiast drawn to substantial vintage designs and visible character, this Ultra offers an expressive combination of mechanical charm, maritime styling and the unmistakable marks of passing time.
