Jenny registered the "Caribbean" trademark in 1963, pioneering 1000m dive watches. Many brands, like Philip Watch, licensed the design, making it a hallmark of deep-sea horology history.
The Philip Watch Caribbean 1500 Ref. 702, that we have here, is a rare and iconic vintage diver’s watch, celebrated for its robust design and maritime heritage. This particular model stands out with its striking blue dial and matching blue bakelite bezel, which not only adds a vivid aesthetic but also showcases the watch’s 1970s-era style.
The watch features a 40mm, stainless steel case with a native 1000-meter water resistance rating—an impressive feat for its time—making it one of the most capable dive watches of its era. Its bold tritium hour markers and hands offer excellent legibility, even in deep-sea conditions.
Complementing the watch is a vintage genuine blueTropic strap, enhancing both comfort and authenticity. The Caribbean 1500 is powered by a reliable ETA 2724 "Hi-Swing" automatic movement, embodying precision and durability.
Highly sought after by collectors, this reference is a timeless representation of Swiss craftsmanship and retro dive watch design.
The watch comes with the blank original warranty paper.
