1970s Constant Beuchat 800 silver watch
1970s Constant Beuchat 800 silver watch
Wonderful! A perfect 100-point vintage silver wristwatch.
Constant Beuchat was founded in Marseille in 1904, over 100 years ago.
Known for their diver's watches and the world's first counter-clockwise watch,
it seems they also crafted stylish silver wristwatches like this one in the 1970s.
It is hard to put into words, but it has a distinctly French feel,
with a design that also evokes the mood of the mid-century era.
The rounded, maritime-style chain is so beautiful you would want to wear it as a bracelet on its own.
The dial is simple, featuring a cute numeral font and the brand's cursive logo.
It is a mechanical watch that operates by winding the crown on the side.
I actually acquired this watch in Paris quite some time ago, and after taking the time to verify its operation, I can confirm it has excellent precision.
I recommend winding the crown fully once a day and adjusting the time if there is any slight deviation.
Constant Beuchat was developed significantly by two sons of a father with roots in a Swiss watchmaking family;
one dedicated his life to scuba diving,
while the other took over his father's watchmaking business.
The company is famous for developing water-resistant diver's watches with remarkable precision and technology for the time,
and in 1987, they released the "Envers," the world's first counter-clockwise watch.
There is quite a shocking story behind this: the first Envers released apparently didn't even have a dial.
It’s hilarious that a company selling machines to mark time would release a watch that shows no intention of telling time accurately. Lol
Beuchat has always manufactured watches that are playful, innovative, and fashionable—the very spirit of the French.
This modern yet classic silver watch is a testament to that heritage.
It is an accessory I can truly recommend.
The watch chain can be shortened by removing links. (See the final photo)
