Typology: Vintage diver watch
Year: 1960

Montres Venus is a Swiss watch maker based in Geneva. The brand was established in 1902, at the very heart of the Swiss watchmaking industry, in a village named La Chaux-de-Fonds, a master craftsman by the name of Paul Arthur Schwarz and his wife Olga Etienne-Schwarz, two visionary watchmakers, launched one of their very first collections: the VENUS collection.

In mid 1960’s VENUS was a well-established brand, with a global distribution network and hundreds of popular ladies and gents designs. The company organized glamorous public relations events and VENUS watches were notably worn by celebrities such as the Hollywood actress Jane Mansfield. They were also worn by important personalities and political figures such as Leonid Brezhnev, the leader of the Soviet Union at the time. The Vatican famously placed an order of one hundred VENUS mechanical selfwinding timepieces in white gold.

Venus is also tool watches, and this fantastic skin diver is a fervent example.
The steel, bidirectional bezel, typoca wrap-around case, screw-down back, and push-in crown are the classic features of these historic references.
The ns Venus 98.16.01 has everything in odrine, crown, case back and rotor marked Venus and the dial, with an incredible tropical patina, is the absolute star of this piece which, with the tritium indexes, perfectly turned yellow, make this diver the dream of every vintage enthusiast.
The watch comes with its original warranty paper and our premium rip-stop nato strap in khaki
