1960’s CYMA (Swiss) ‘Divingstar’ 200m Vintage Diving Watch – Cyma Automatic Cal. R.485.2 With Date

A wonderful example of a very rare pre-owned CYMA ‘Divingstar’ 20ATM diving watch that has been professionally inspected in-house by Localtime.The stainless steel case is all original and has not been polished, houses an automatic Cyma Cal. R.485.2 with date and measures in at 38mm or 40mm including the new crown at 3h. The beautiful black crosshair dial, dual-purpose bezel and hands are stunning. It is wearing a new black Tropic rubber strap that we also sell separately in the store. I have included many photos, including some closeup snapshots I took just for fun, to allow you to enjoy the lovely details of this fine timepiece. I am including a same-period Cyma box that did not come with the watch, but I thought it would serve well for it as a home. As with all the watches we handle in-house, the listed price includes a 3-month written warranty from the time of purchase. Do not hesitate to contact us for any further information you might need.

Important Note: Sometimes I am asked what I exactly mean with ‘professionally inspected by Localtime’. Here is my theory on vintage watches: as a purveyor of vintage watches, my effort is to always do only what is needed to the watch. I do not buy ‘junk’ watches to resell. I am choosy with my purchases and always sell watches that are, to my knowledge, authentic and in good condition. I first inspect the watch, both visually (cosmetically) and then mechanically. If I judge that the watch is not yet in need of a full service then I do not put the watch through a service which, by the way, entails a lot of risks too. Instead, I give it what I call my ‘Spa’ treatment which will include a cleaning, changing of gaskets, oiling, lubricating and mechanical testing. If the plexi is heavily scratched or discoloured and it can not be cleaned, I change it. If the crown is wrong or worn, I also change it. Now, if the watch is in need of a full service, then my ‘professionally inspected’ description becomes ‘professionally serviced’. In both cases, I mention what has been changed (if anything) on the watch and I include a written warranty with my listed price.

Important Note On Straps/Bracelets: The straps I use on my watches (leather, canvas, suede, rubber) are always brand new, unless otherwise mentioned and, in most cases, I also sell them separately in my store, in different colours and sizes. In the case of metal bracelets, if the watch is NOS, the bracelet is also unused. If the watch is pre-owned with its original bracelet, then the bracelet is also pre-owned, unless otherwise mentioned. Either way, if in doubt, please ask.
