I am selling a beautiful Vetta Super Automatique (Ref 45052) vintage watch. These 1960s divers are known as depthmasters due to their 1000m depth rating. A number of manufacturers used this very distinctive case shape, including Nivada (Croton in the States, Sandoz and Festina to name but a few. These have the nickname 'baby panerai' and measure about 38mm in diameter (excluding crown). This is one of the rarer and more sought after Baby pams and, IMO, one of the coolest. This one is in great shape - see pictures. I have only worn it twice but it ran great and kept excellent time on both occasions. I bought the watch a few months ago from Analogue Shift in the USA who serviced the watch in May / June of this year. This is what they told me about time keeping (I don't have the kit to verify this): On the timegrapher, the Vetta is reading +/- 6 seconds with 299 amplitude. Excellent reading considering the age of this movement and watch. We got this watch in May of this year and immediately sent it out for movement regulation as it was running slightly fast. Now the watch is running perfectly. Reluctant sale but I have worn it twice in 3 months so I think its time somebody else gives this beauty the wrist time it deserves. Watch will be posted by Royal Mail Special Delivery in the UK. Please contact me for international shipping options and customs fees. NO SHIPPING TO ITALY
