Vintage Dive Watch

:: KANDER 5 ATM ::

OPINION                                                          

I would like to present another rare diver watch brand from 70's. This is a hand-winding KANDER Calendar 21 jewels 5 atm.

Kander was established in the 60s, the production site was based in Frutigen (Switzerland). The company went bankrupt early in the 80s. The sign refers to the 2 mountains "Altels" and "Balmhorn".

The KANDER is another watch from 70's inspired in the icon of dive watch OMEGA SEAMASTER 300. The dial have different colour, pearl grey, but it have the same numbers and luminous marks. Also it have the date window at 3 h with a loupe in the plexyglass crystal.

This KANDER watch have a bi-directional bezel in soft blue.

The crown is not screw.

This watch do not have an stainless steel case. Only the back is in stainless steel and screwed. The watch-case diameter without crown is 37 mm and with crown 40 mm.


Swiss made movement. Mechanical. Hand-winding. 21 jewels.
