Gruen 'Cushion' Diver

We at Analog Shift believe in exploration. We believe in action. When we see bomber pieces like this cushion case Gruen diver's watch, we are reminded that there was a time, not so long ago, when men were measured by their deeds and remembered for their daring. With decidedly 70s case design and bold colors, coupled with reliable and robust movements, the diving watches of the era were built to accompany their owner adventurer across the globe and to keep time in its dark depths. In the world of vintage, it's tough to find a more compelling brand on the value side than Gruen. Some of the coolest American watches were pioneered by the brand, and this piece is no exception. Packing a 40mm barrel case with a bidirectional rotating bezel, this piece is topped with an acrylic crystal, and finished with a black dial with an outbound minute track set in white to match the bezel. Accompanying this piece is its multi-link, very 70s bracelet which is incredibly soft on the wrist. Plus, this piece has a beautiful even patina throughout. A must for the vintage enthusiast, its hard to find more charm for the money. A complete through-back to a bygone era of American watchmaking.
