What an absolute beauty this thing is!
The Great White is the last of the acrylic crystal Sea-Dwellers - produced from 1977 until 1983, and already a grail level reference for the right collector. The Double Red gets all the attention and the price tag to match, but the Great White is an incredible watch.
Shorter production run, same iconic case, and same superdome acrylic crystal that gives it a depth and character no sapphire can replicate.
This 1981 example has two showstoppers. First - the dial. Flawless. Matte black with all white text, crisp creamy lume plots, crystal clear and correct. Second - the case. This is where it really gets exciting. Lugs thick and crisp like the day it left the factory. The kind of case condition that makes you think someone kept this in a safe for most of its life. And yes - it comes with its box and papers!
This one was fully serviced within the last 12 months, running absolutely perfectly with over 300 amplitude and within chronometer specs. It’s ready to wear and ready to collect.
