Iconic French Diver Alert! A vintage diver that ticks all the boxes. What a looker!

The French brand Dodane will be known to some, an iconic brand with a rich and varied history including significant military provenance. Known for its amazing 1000m cases and water resistances. The legendary Triton Spirotechnique and also the Auricoste Spirotechnique were made by Dodane. Add in the mythical CWC Hong Kong 1984 and the Marine Nationale history and then you understand just how rare and sought after these watches are.

Dodane cases were also used by other great French brands like Camif, Airain, Arain, HGP, Astree and Chronosport etc to name but a few. Easy to recognise by the large steel case, maxi dial, crown at 4pm and the 1000m writing on the dial. On the slightly rarer versions you will get a commando diver just above 6 ‘ O Clock and the 1000m writing will be in red. Maybe a nod to the vintage Bianchi’s and Rolex Sub 1680’s that were around at the same time.

This Astree version is exactly that and in truly gorgeous condition and working beautifully, but let’s be honest your buying this watch for its looks, rarity and heritage not the Quartz movement. Good luck finding another one of these, they are that rare!

You will enjoy this one. A beauty.
