Notes

Known to collector’s as the Barracuda, the Master Mariner was another version of the continued development of dive watches after the famous Polaris, the first automatic dive watch with alarm. According to the manufacture, the “Deep Sea” was made in 1500 examples between about 1967 to 1971. Featuring a date and a second crown for the inner revolving bezel, the case was made by EPSA (Eugene Piquierez S.A.) which supplied most of the diving watches at the time.
