Glycine Diver 313.144

The Glycine 313.144 is a true product of the 1970s—a period when dive watches were evolving from pure tools into something with a little more personality. The deep blue dial, matching bezel, chunky cushion case, and gold-tone markers give this watch a look that's unmistakably of its era.

It's rugged enough to be taken seriously, but stylish enough to stand out in a sea of black-dial dive watches.

Why We Like It

I've always been drawn to watches that sit just outside the mainstream. Everybody knows the big names. Glycine has spent decades quietly making excellent Swiss watches, and pieces like this are a reminder of why collectors continue to seek them out.

The blue-and-gold combination works incredibly well here. Depending on the light, the watch can feel sporty, dressy, or somewhere in between. Add in the vintage cushion case and you've got a watch with far more character than most modern divers.

It's the kind of watch that makes people ask what you're wearing.

Condition

This watch is believed to be New Old Stock (NOS), meaning it was manufactured decades ago but remained unsold and unworn for much of its life. The case, dial, hands, and bezel present exceptionally well, retaining the crisp appearance that collectors hope to find but rarely do in a vintage dive watch.

While the watch may show minor signs of handling, storage, or the passage of time, it remains an outstanding example of a 1970s Glycine diver. Finding a vintage tool watch in this kind of condition is becoming increasingly difficult.

Fishtown Watch Supply Thoughts

This is exactly the kind of watch I love finding. It's not the watch everyone else is chasing, which is precisely what makes it interesting. A funky 1970s Swiss diver, a great color combination, and enough wrist presence to stand out without shouting.

Finding a cool vintage diver is one thing. Finding one that's spent the last 50+ years largely untouched is something else entirely. If you're looking for a vintage diver with personality, history, and condition that's becoming harder and harder to find, this Glycine checks a lot of boxes.
