Twin Crown Diver from 1970
In the wider world, Citizen is maybe not so well known for its vintage mechanical watches, and particularly for their divers made from the mid 1960s and through the 1970s. Although there’s a page on this blog which describes the various divers (https://sweep-hand.org/citizens-vintage-divers-1962-to-1980/) … Continue reading
If You Like A Good Back Story….

‘New’ 100m Diver
It’s rare to come across a watch that I’ve not seen before – but it has happened this week. It’s a complete surprise to me since it is from an already relatively rare range that was produced for only a … Continue reading
Diver Page Updated
A bit late, but I have now updated the diver page. I’ve added quite a bit on the 62-6198 and 52-0110 divers following comments from two diver collectors – Paul and Mikko – who know these models much better than I … Continue reading
Jim’s Diver, a 52-0110 from 1978
After a ‘comment’ from Jim about his vintage diver, he kindly agreed that I could use his photos 🙂 Rather than post them in comments, I wanted to feature them in a post on the home page, since it is … Continue reading

Superb Restoration Work on 8200 Divers
I’ve linked to work by ’31jewels’ on the WUS forum before (see here: https://sweep-hand.org/2012/05/26/some-great-8110a-restoration-work/), and now he’s worked on five divers (probably from the 1980s) with the 8200 movement.
