A 42mm vintage automatic divers watch, the Weekly Auto Orient AAA comes in a super compressor style case with quick set date pusher.
HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?
The Weekly Auto King Diver was launched in 1965, and more recently reissued, and apparently it was replaced by the AAA model we have here in 1969. Researching this watch has been very difficult, so we are happy to be corrected if you have any more information then please do contact us.
CONDITION
Unlike a lot of desk divers, the Weekly Auto Orient AAA is packed with features. You have a day window in English at 6, and a date at 3. The date can be quick set via the pusher at 2, as shown in the video. The crown at three is just for setting the time – the is an automatic only movement that can not be hand wound. The crown at 4 turns the bezel that sits under the glass, which all turns smoothly. The oversized all stainless steel case also has a fluted bezel, just for decoration. The dial is clean and the hands are original. The Orient movement is all working well, and has been protected from the elements behind a screw down and nicely embossed case back. The rubber strap is new, and could be swapped for a different colour or material if preferred. The watch is signed on the dial, case and movement.
This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.

From 1st September 2021 we will be planting a tree for every watch we sell, working with the International Tree Foundation (Est 1922) to make this business positive on carbon. By buying anything pre owned you are effectively reusing what already exists, but this takes it further and makes us feel good.
