Why We Love It

While the brand name 'Jenny' may not ring a bell, their 'golden era' diving watches are becoming increasingly coveted amongst tool watch collectors. Manufactured  in the 1960s and 1970s, these pieces were made to a very high standard, designed for professional use and using high quality components. Constructed using solid stainless steel cases often shared with more popular name brand models from the time, these watches have all the looks and functionality you could ever want.

Fitted in its 39mm cushion case is a silver Scotchlite exotic dial which bears more than a passing resemblance to the famous DOXA 'Army' model. With a closer inspection, you'll notice the watch is fitted with a fourth hand and a secondary locking crown at 2:00 - classic hallmarks of an alarm function.

Sure enough, the Jenny Sealab is a diving alarm in the same vein as the Jaeger-Lecoultre Polaris or Deep Sea Alarm Models, but cased in a DOXA Sub-esque cushion style with an acrylic rotating dive timing bezel. In near mint unused condition, this piece still has remnants of its case back sticker intact! It is fitted to an era appropriate Tropic brand rubberized dive strap and wouldn't look out of place on the wrist of a Team Cousteau member surfacing after a successful underwater documentary film shoot.

If you're attracted to the 'underdogs' of the vintage dive watch market, you just found a winner - all the looks and functionality without the price tag to match.
