About this entry

67% of key specs known. Missing: lug width, weight, hardening, AR coating, bracelet offered.

ISO 6425 dive watch based on Vertex's divers of the 1950s and 60s. Brand technical specs: 316L stainless steel, diameter 40mm, thickness 14mm, lug-to-lug 49mm; screw-down caseback engraved with the AquaLion trademark; screw-down crown; scratch-resistant matte ceramic bezel with an engraved dive scale filled with Super-LumiNova X1; matte black dial with moulded Super-LumiNova X1 hour markers and X1-coated hands; 60 bar / 600m; Sellita SW300-1, COSC-certified ("Swiss Chronometer Certified"), 42h power reserve. The header of the Date and No Date pages reads "40mm x 45mm x 11mm", but their technical specs, the DLC page header ("40mm x 14mm x 49mm") and WatchGecko's review give 14mm thick and 49mm lug-to-lug, which are recorded. WatchGecko: box sapphire crystal, bidirectional-winding SW300-1 with no phantom date position on the No Date, delivered in a Peli case with the COSC certificate, price GBP 2,850 including VAT. Bezel rotation direction and lug width are not stated. Variants: Date (date at 3) and No Date, and the M60C AquaLion DC ("C" for the DLC coating, as on the M100AC), whose case, caseback and bracelet are DLC-coated stainless steel ("enhanced surface hardness"; no hardness figure) on the same case and dated SW300-1; the No Date shows no date. Each comes with a steel bracelet (DLC on the DC), a single-strand ZA/Zulu strap and a rubber dive strap. Prices are the store's ex-VAT figures (the pages show GBP 2,850 and GBP 2,940 including VAT). The No Date has a second, "coming soon" listing with the same text and photos. On 2026-10-31 the Date and No Date were "returning to stock 26/11/2026" and the DC "back soon".
