OLMA CARAVELLE 200 DIVER WATCH VINTAGE 70s EPSA SUPERCOMPRESSOR BEZEL ROULETTE

OLMA CARAVELLE 200 DIVER WATCH VINTAGE 70s EPSA SUPERCOMPRESSOR INTERNAL BEZEL ROULETTE 38MM

- READ THE CONDITION REPORT PLEASE -

An extremely cool, rare, and beefy supercompressor diver from Olma, made in the 1970s. Everything you want in a watch!

Exceptionally well crafted, unusual and attractive as HELL!

That patented EPSA case by renowned casemaker Ervin Piquerez S.A. ensures that the deeper you go - the tighter she grips.

(See the drawing in the photos). These watches usually sells for a mint, but due to condition issues I have priced this moderately. Grab a bargain and with a bit of TLC, you will have a real killer on your hands! Check more info about the watch on Hodinkee...

Condition Report:

There are a few things with this watch.

The date function is stuck in the position. While this is an automatic watch, it only properly runs when you wind it first and then give it a couple of shakes. The rotor rattles in the case, and as the caseback is unusual I can't open it. I am therefore selling it as a non-runner, though you can see on the video that it does. Video on request! Sold as needing a service. The glass has some scratches and dings, some deeper nibbles around the crowns and at the 10 o'clock position. The case and caseback has scratches. Water resistance is not guaranteed. (see the photos as they are an important part of the description).
