Pre-owned Scubapro watches

Scubapro is an iconic American brand founded in 1963 by Gustav Dalla Valle and Dick Bonin, two passionate scuba divers. Initially specializing in diving equipment, Scubapro quickly became a benchmark for professional and recreational divers worldwide. Known for technical innovations and product reliability, the brand built a solid reputation in extreme underwater environments.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Scubapro expanded into horology, producing diving watches designed as true survival instruments. During this era, the Scubapro 500 was introduced, a model now revered among tool-watch enthusiasts. Engineered for depths of up to 500 meters, this robust watch features a solid steel case, easily operated rotating bezel, and a reliable automatic Swiss ETA 2784 movement, renowned for accuracy.

The Scubapro 500 is distinguished by its utilitarian design—minimalist yet thoroughly functional—where each detail serves a precise purpose. Although the exact identity of its original manufacturer remains uncertain, this watch is undoubtedly one of diving's cult classics. It is highly sought-after today, both for its historical significance and technical excellence, becoming a valuable collector's item.

Scubapro watches embody the spirit of professional dive watches from past decades, when functionality took precedence over appearance, and timepieces had to withstand extreme usage. As such, they rank among legendary tool watches of the 1970s, alongside brands like Doxa, Aquadive, or Squale.
