FOR PARTS/REPAIR ONLY – The Bifora 115/1 manual wind. Movement does not run as the replacement crown has broken off the stem. As such neither the date nor time can be set. At a minimum a complete overhaul is required. This seldom seen vintage 1970’s Bifora 115 diver has a matte black dial that is in lovely but not perfect condition as it shows light age-related wear and dust/debris on its surface. The lume, which emits a faint, short-lived glow on the dial after being exposed to bright light while the hands emit a quick burst glow, has aged to a toasted butterscotch hue on the dial with the hands having developed a subtle pistachio patina. In my humble opinion the lume on the hands appears as more of a buttermilk hue in person. The bezel, which rotates bidirectionally with an appropriate amount of tension, shows wear. The all stainless steel case shows honest wear with no visible signs of oxidation. The outer edge of the case back is stamped “SKINDIVER ALL STAINLESS STEEL ANTIMAGNETIC SHOCKPROTECTED” with “100% WATERPROOF” followed by “TESTED” and “10 ATMOSPHERES” stamped in the center. The crystal shows scratching and dust/debris on its underbelly. The 17 jewels Bifora 115/1 manual wind movement does not run as the brassed replacement crown has broken off the stem. This watch measures approximately 35 mm excluding the crown, approximately 38 mm including the crown and approximately 17 mm between the lugs. Case thickness, measured from the bottom of the case back to the top of the bezel, is approximately 7.5 mm. Including the crystal thickness measures approximately 9.5 mm. This watch comes on an unsigned bracelet with “100% Stainless Steel” stamped buckle/clasp showing little stretch. I’d guestimate that it may accommodate up to an approximate 7.5 inch wrist. A complete overhaul is required. As such there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch. Vintage means old and while my personal belief is that old-school means better quality and workmanship, things can and do go wrong from time to time. For this watch that time is now. Any servicing costs going forward are your responsibility. And please study the 18 high magnification pictures carefully as they are part of the description and serve as an accurate representation of the condition of this watch.
