Lot Essay
This limited Cousteau divers watch embodies the spirit of Jacques Cousteau himself. This watch was made in a limited run of 1,953 and this is number 73. The sunburst blue dial paired with the sun-orange accents imitates the nature that Cousteau dedicated his life to. The rotating inner bezel, water-proof case, and rubber strap make this the essential divers watch. Additionally, the tonneau-shaped case lends the watch versatility to be worn for less recreational purposes. Overall, this a great watch for someone looking for a refined, sporty, and functional timepiece.
