1963 RARE TROPICAL DIAL 100% ORIGINAL LONGINES DIVER Ref 7150

The Longines Diver 7150 is a classic diving watch that has gained significant recognition among vintage watch collectors and enthusiasts. Released in the early 1960s, it represents Longines’ foray into the robust and functional world of dive watches, competing with other iconic models from brands like Rolex and Omega. The 7150 is powered by the Longines caliber 290, a reliable automatic movement that was widely praised for its accuracy and durability at the time.

One of the most notable features of the Longines Diver 7150 is its cushion-shaped stainless steel case, measuring approximately 42mm in diameter, which was relatively large for its era. This made it both visually distinctive and highly functional, offering better water resistance and legibility under water. The watch has a rotating bezel, another essential feature for divers to track elapsed time. This specific example is extremely well conserved, all original and unique with its light tropical dial.

The Longines Diver 7150 is also notable for its water resistance of 200 meters, a key specification for serious divers. Today, this model is considered a coveted piece in the vintage watch market, both for its aesthetic appeal and its historical significance within the Longines brand’s development.
