This vintage Swiss-made timepiece is branded Gracex, a private-label private brand from the 1970s. During this period, boutique Swiss assemblers sourced standardized, high-quality cases and movements from major manufacturing cooperatives to market specialized designs. This watch belongs to the Seabold skin-diver case line—a robust, highly recognizable dive case design shared across various respected brands of the era (including Breil, Dinamo, and Lancia).
Aesthetically, this model is defined by its black dial with matching tritium baton markers, a date window at 3 o'clock, and a highly contrasting red center seconds hand. It features a bidirectional rotating dive bezel with a classic "Coke" (black and red) color scheme, housed in a chromium-plated cushion/diver case with a heavy screw-down stainless steel back.
