Vintage Calypso Agua Lung Depth Gauge Wristwatch need info

[goliath320]

Cheers,

I am wondering if anyone here has any information on this vintage calypso depth gauge wristwatch. I was cleaning out my garage and found my uncles old scuba gear and low and behold I found this depth gauge. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the threads your gauge was made in the US. circa 1970 a very collectable item a good find in excellent condition.

Thanks for the info regulator, it is very nice and really good condition, i took the pics with my phone. Is there a way to test if it works without submerging it? Not sure if the seals are good so I don't want to damage it by trying.....

Correction! Depth Gauge, meant "wristwatch style", anyhow thanks for the info, hopefully I'll get the $10k buy some nice diving equipment

Five bucks is a little low. You might get $25 or more on the bay for it. They are not rare but that one isn't very common like some.

It's there now. Be interesting to see what it sells for in such nice condition.

Now off to E bay to list it.....
