Vintage Selhor Diver 200 Meters Wristwatch

This is a vintage Selhor diver's wristwatch featuring a rugged stainless steel construction. The watch has a distinct textured grey-to-brown 'tropical' dial that shows signs of aging, characteristic of vintage divers from the 1960s to 1970s. It features bold, aged tritium or luminous hour markers that have turned a light custard yellow, along with thick broad-arrow hands for high visibility. The dial is marked 'SELHOR' and 'DIVER 200 METERS' at the 6 o'clock position. Encircling the dial is a black unidirectional rotating bezel with a 60-minute scale. The case shows sharp lug lines and is paired with a stainless steel multi-link 'Jubilee' style bracelet. Notable condition issues include visible surface scratches and cloudiness on the acrylic or mineral crystal, particularly around the center and upper left. There is a perceptible patina on the dial and markers, which collectors often find desirable. The bezel displays minor wear on the teeth, but the white markings remain clear. The watch appears to be a robust example of mid-20th-century skin-diver style craftsmanship, likely French or Swiss made given the brand's history in the Maîche region.
