Awesome, were those in trade with the Longines? Or just new pick ups? Either way, the Explorer looks great. I also dig the Zenith.

Late 50's Alpina hand wind. A sports watch in its day; it makes a perfect dress watch now. I wear it either on a black leather strap or a tight mesh "polonaise" bracelet.

@cchen I would reconsider your stance on the 1016. It took me many, many years to get one. However, now that I do, I can't imagine ever having a collection without one.

Obviously, the diving point is kind moot with any vintage watch, right? I love divers for their style. Never picked one up, though I'm not sure why. I've always liked chronographs more. Nevertheless, for me, I've long since made it a personal rule to not venture into environments completely hostile to human life. I've seen The Abyss and Apollo 13. I'm good on zero oxygen/high pressure/zero pressure environments.I had been searching for a deal on a vintage Citizen Challenge Diver for a few years now but everything I found was either beat to hell or about double what I was willing to pay. I recently came across this one with a clean case (I don't mind that it's been polished) and a bezel that wasn't tooooo terrible for a 45+ year-old watch for roughly what I was willing to pay. It's got next to no power reserve anymore but otherwise seems to be running pretty well.

Looking something up about these the other day, I saw that Citizen is actually planning to release an updated TI version of these old Challenge Divers later this summer. They look pretty close to the original except that the new version is 41mm compared to these at 40.
I've got a couple vintage Citizen dive watches now and sort of would like to hunt down an old Aqualand or Aquamount but they seem to have such a strange shape that I'd probably never actually wear them (it's not as if I ever get in water deeper than about 6'). It's sort of like the Omega Ploprof - a very interesting watch but not something I would ever really wear.
I wish I had any history! When he does it came in a box of stuff to be. No jewel, no bezel, no strap, no hands, the face looks like it was sprinkled with acid rain and the case isn't trueBeautiful. If you happen to know the story of the watch's destruction, I'd love to hear how that happened! But what a great way to preserve some family history!
