Got a Benrus Ultra Deep supercompressor. It was a high school graduation present from my Dad in 1965.
It runs perfectly and gets serviced every 3 to 5 years. It had 20 years of constant use but now I wear it only for special occasions. Yes, I did actually use it scuba diving. It's only been down 120 or 140 feet, I have not tested the 660 feet it is capable of. Thanks for the video!!

Railroad watches and now super compressors! This was such a well researched, and well presented video. Thanks!

@Charles Smith What will we think of next?! Lol Thanks for watching and the kind words too. 👍

Very interesting video. But the twin crown EPSA Super Compressors were not the ORIGINAL Ervin Piquerez S.A. Super Compressor case design. The ultra rare and Original SINGLE Crown Super Compressor case with external rough tooth Bakelite bezel was produced only from about 1956-1959. The original iconic Longines Nautilus introduced in 1957 is the most famous maker to use this original case design. Most information about EPSA Super Compressor case watches focuses on the later and much more common, and popular, twin crown watches.

I just bought a vostok amphibia - is is also a supercompressor? (It doesnt have the internel bezel or dual crown, but the caseback moves)

[@ilyavancamp4366]

No it's not. Although the technology is somewhat similar from an idea standpoint
