An irresistible Super Compressor

I have always liked the Super Compressors. I bought this one about 25 years ago, but even then there were a lot of enthusiasts for this kind of model. Mine is a POP made around 1966/67 by an association of watchmakers who, in this case, acted more as a casemaker. Indeed, most of the vintage Super Compressors still in circulation have common and easily recognizable components, including the case supplied by Ervin Piquerez SA with the mentions of patents 317537 and 337462, the diving suit, 20 ATM, EPSA, ... The diameter is 36 mm here, but as the bezel is almost absent, the watch has a nice presence on my 18 cm wrist, which the 2 large squared crowns emphasize. The movement is an ETA 2472 with automatic winding that is still very precise. I love the Super Compressors and I admit that an Enicar Sherpa Super Dive would be welcome in my collection. Unfortunately, the prices of these vintages tend to climb, which is their only major flaw.
