The ultimate tool watch!

Among vintage watches, there is a category that I particularly like: that of diver chronographs. In the 60s/70s; they were considered real tool watches. Both chronograph and real diver (generally 200 meters), these sports watches were there to satisfy "active men" (see the advertisements of the time). Mine is an AUREOLE from the 60s. Specialist in chronographs and diving watches, it is a brand that I like a lot, with a great experience (from 1933, it manufactured all-steel waterproof watches). It is in exceptional condition, especially when you know that these watches were used daily and often without consideration. For the chronograph side, it is equipped, like many chronographs at the time, with a Landeron movement (here a 48). Simple but effective caliber, it is a real hyper reliable tractor, and as far as I am concerned, very precise. For the diver side, it is water-resistant to 20 ATM, all-steel case, screw-down crown, and once all the gaskets (case back, pushers, etc.) were changed, it passed the 20 bar water-resistance test again without any problem! Indestructible, I tell you!! I also love the steel blue color of the sub-dials, which is unusual, and its ideal diameter of 38mm. You get the idea: I am an absolute fan of this watch and I wear it very often.
