This Leverete Tiger Shark, ref.3808, is the first mark of this model and its features one of the first Super Compressor case.

The “Super Compressor” term frequently gets misused to describe any watch with dual crowns and an internal rotating bezel; however “Super Compressor” is actually a trademarked name for a specific case design that was manufactured by Ervin Piquerez S.A. (EPSA) between the late 1950s and early 1970s.

Although Super Compressors are almost an entire category of watches all to themselves and were manufactured in a variety of different configurations, the most famous “Super Compressor” watches were those that used twin crowns with a cross-hatch pattern on them (one located at 2 o’clock, the other at 4 o’clock), and internal, rotating, timing bezels.

Super Compressors make up a fascinating sub-genre of vintage dive watches that have a unique and interesting history that includes a number of very different manufacturers.

Our Levrette is in stunning condition just fully overhauled, even complete with box and warranty from the time.
The glossy black dial is perfect and the tritium toning incredible.
