Born in the rich ecosystem of mid-century Swiss watchmaking, Nicolet Watch quietly produced robust, purpose-built timepieces that delivered serious functionality without the fanfare, or price tag, of larger brands.
This Sub 200 diving chronograph, likely dating to the 1970s, captures that spirit perfectly: Bold, utilitarian, and unapologetically sporty. With its chunky case, diving bezel, and vibrant chronograph hands, it pulls off a proper “hard-bitten” tool-watch attitude while remaining a refreshingly attainable piece of vintage chronograph history.
MODEL / REFERENCE: Nicolet Watch Sub 200 Diving Chronograph. Inventory Number: MT-2602-12.
DIAL + HANDS: Matte black dial featuring a dual-register chronograph layout with contrasting silver subdials and vibrant red chronograph hands for optimal legibility.
The applied hour markers retain their luminous material which has aged attractively over time, to a caramel color tone, whereas the hands’ inlays show a lighter, creamy shade.
The printing remains crisp and well defined.
CRYSTAL: Domed Plexiglas crystal in good vintage condition with some hairline scratches.
CASE: The stainless-steel case measures approximately 40mm in diameter and 47mm lug-to-lug, giving the watch a strong wrist presence typical of 1970s diving chronographs. The case retains its original proportions and sharp, symmetrical lugs. The surface shows light scratches throughout, commensurate with age and gentle use.
BEZEL: Bidirectional rotating bezel fitted with a black diving insert. The insert shows honest wear and minor marks consistent with age of a tool watch.
CASE BACK: The stainless-steel screw-down case back is signed and features a very prominent and nicely engraved “Crowned N” medallion. It remains in good vintage condition with various surface wear and scratches consistent with regular use.
CROWN + PUSHERS: The watch is fitted with an unsigned crown, likely original, along with correct pump chronograph pushers. All operate smoothly and engage the chronograph functions properly.
MOVEMENT: Powered by the manually wound Landeron 248 chronograph movement, a reliable cam-switched calibre widely used during the era. The movement has been checked and is running well, with the chronograph functions operating as intended.
BRACELET: Black Corfam leather strap fitted with a generic stainless-steel pin buckle.
ACCESSORIES: none
