Devis "Baby Pam" 100 atm

More than fifty years ago, engineers managed, in a small volume, without a decompression valve or even a screwed-in crown, to design an object capable of reaching 1km of sea depth.

What is well known as the "Baby Panerai" is a watch with a striking "cushion" shaped steel case, a movable bezel also made of steel, and a magnificent l dial with luminescent markers and hands.

In 1963 it was Sandoz who was the first to use these described features, being the first to invent a watch capable of reaching such depths
Many Swiss houses followed as over time and for much of the 1970s, several other companies distributed this type of divers under the case ref.692505: Nivada,Vetta Waltham, LeCoultre and many others.

Our "Devis" is an undisputed rarity. in fact, no other examples are currently for sale on the web with this Swiss brand, which died like so many during the quartz crisis.
The mixed dial with baton markers and numerals is quite fascinating, as is the status of preservation that tells of an untouched and unaltered professional object.
It comes with its swiss grey tropic rubber strap.

Baby pams are becoming increasingly rare, especially in this condition, and are a rarity for any vintage collector
