Squale “Hever” Compressor Diver

The Story

New in for your personal perusal is this juicy 1970s Squale compressor naver, signed by scuba naving company Hever (at 12, no less), as it was common for naving companies to put their logo on their equipment. This piece packs a ton of charm and complications into a modern and wearable 40mm case, with a quickset date, internal rotating bezel controlled by the 2nd crown, external bi-directional bakelite bezel, a blue dial that’s faded into a subtle purple and red-centre hour markers. All in good condition, this watch stands out above the pack in all the right ways.
