Wittnauer Scuba-Matic Super Compressor c.1967
Wittnauer Scuba-Matic Super Compressor c.1967
With all the super compressor models out there, the Wittnauer Scuba-Matic certainly comes in toward the top. With in-house Longines-based movement, dual compressor crowns including “W” signature, and new tropic-style strap (very similar to what would have come on it brand new)…it’s quite hard not to enjoy what this timepiece has to offer.
If you’re looking for a great all-around example, and on a Wittnauer bracelet no less, then look no further.

[All vintage watches are expected to function as described. However, due to age and generally unknown service history (unless otherwise stated), these watches may not keep time as accurately as new or quartz (battery) watches. This is completely normal and does not indicate that there is a major problem. Like your automobile, all mechanical watches will likely need to be serviced at some point in time. Please keep this in mind, as there is no guarantee regarding when these vintage watches may need standard maintenance. Every watch sold by Buying On Time is done so with the expectation that it is not currently in need of service or repair, unless noted. We guarantee that all watches sold are accurately described and in the stated condition when they leave our hands.]
