Great collection. What is the domed one? Always loved those vintage domed divers. The Kontiki and 6105-8000 are terrific.

I totally forgot about my old Heuer Calculator from 1972. The hands were originally red, but faded to a cool orange. My dad bought this in New Orleans in ‘72. I got it from him back in 2005 or so and had it serviced. It runs like a top.

This one also; high dome acrylic crystal on this model really adds character. Plenty of wear over it’s life…but not abuse.
