Potens Matic 25 Jewels Automatic Diver's Watch

This is a vintage Potens automatic wrist watch, specifically a diver-style timepiece likely dating from the 1980s. The watch features a robust stainless steel case with a unidirectional rotating black bezel marked for diving increments. The dial is deep black with luminous round and baton hour markers, complemented by 'mercedes' style hands typical of sport watches of this era. A day-date complication is prominently displayed at the 3 o'clock position. The crystal appears clear, protecting a dial labeled 'Potens Matic' and '25 Jewels', indicating a high-quality automatic movement. The watch is fitted with a black perforated 'tropic' style rubber strap, which is period-appropriate and designed for breathability. Measuring approximately 38-40mm in case diameter, the watch exhibits a utilitarian aesthetic. According to the provided context, the item is in 'perfect condition,' and visual inspection confirms a very clean bezel, a crisp dial with no visible oxidation, and a case with sharp lugs and minimal surface scratches. The overall craftsmanship suggests a durable, reliable mid-century European timepiece intended for active use.
