Description:
From an old stock in a watchmaker's estate we offer this pretty BIFORA Skin Diver from 1975, a German brand from Schwäbisch Gmünd. Distinctive face with shapely arrow-shaped hands and center second, very easy to read, even under water. The watch was on the market as a diving watch in 1975, but is no longer waterproof. As stock, it shows hardly any age patina, and the movement also runs perfectly according to our watchmaker's inspection. The high-quality ROWI stainless steel strap with adjustable telescopic clasp fits harmoniously to the watch. An opportunity for the watch lover or collector, which does not come up every day.
