Tiffany & Co. Quartz Diver's Watch

Partially verified

This vintage men's wristwatch by Tiffany & Co. features a stainless steel case measuring 39mm in diameter, excluding the crown. Designed in a sport-diving style, the watch incorporates a rotating bezel with a black and silver color scheme and a screw-down crown protected by case shoulders. The watch is powered by a Swiss-made quartz movement, identified as the ETA caliber 955-414, which the source reports bears the Tiffany signature. The black dial includes luminescent silver-toned hands and markers, with a date window positioned at 3 o'clock. The timepiece is finished with a heavy stainless steel bracelet featuring screw-in rivets and a clasp signed by Tiffany. Attributed to the 1980s, the watch is described as being in excellent condition, though specific records of past service or current water resistance are not provided in the accompanying documentation.

Object description

Case and Dial

The watch is housed in a 39mm stainless steel case characterized by a combination of matte and polished finishes. The design follows sport-watch conventions of the late 20th century, featuring a rotating bezel finished in black and silver. The crown is shielded by integral case shoulders, and the case back is a screw-down type.

The dial is black and features applied luminescent silver markers and matching hands. A date display is positioned at the 3 o'clock marker. The Tiffany & Co. name is printed on the dial, and 'Swiss Made' appears at the bottom. The overall aesthetic is consistent with 1980s diver-style timepieces produced by the company.
