FS: Hublot SubAquaneous Turn Lock 2000 Meter Diver Steel 40mm Ref. 1950.1

[Daso]

Part of a collection, this watch has been sitting in a drawer for most of its life. Please note that the rubber strap was fitted to the original owners wrist size and is likely good for up to a 7" wrist at most. I have a 7 1/2" wrist and its very snug. You could also just change the strap. Overall condition is fair with with light scratches through the case and some more noticeable scratches on the case back from being in a drawer. Crystal is perfect. Watch winds and runs and has kept time well, but i make no warranties on timing accuracy and highly suggest a service since it has not had one. Please email me at dariussolomon@yahoo.com with any questions or photo requests. $3,000 +Shipping cost. I accept Paypal.

Hublot SubAquaneous Turn Lock 2000 Meter Diver Steel 40mm
Ref. 1950.1
Excellent condition, no box or papers.
This is a rare diver's model produced under the parent company MDM Geneve which made the Hublot brand & the first watch to use natural rubber strap back in 1980. It rarely appears in the pre-owned market and bares some resemblance to the vintage Rolex Submariner from the early 70s with the red marking.
To turn the bezel, the user must unlock a built-in lever by turning the polished steel "wings" with black arrows anti-clockwise. A unique feature never seen on any diver's watches since & there are not many watches that are rated for 2000m. This watch fits a 7 1/2 inch wrist which is standard to large, and can be adjusted to fit smaller wrist..
The “Subaquaneus” is a very innovative line, with a pioneering bezel encrusted with protuberant natural rubber points.
This new watch by Hublot brings exclusive security, interesting innovation and shows technical skills at their very best.
The addition of protuberant rubber points on the bezel guarantees a better grip for easier handling and offers a unique anti-shock protection in and out of the water.
The exclusive and unique Turnlock - unidirectional locking system of the bezel, guarantees that the selected position is maintained. A rotation movement of the two “lugs”, anti-clockwise, releases the bezel, enabling it to be moved to the desired position. Returning the two “lugs” to their initial position blocks the bezel in complete security for safer diving.
The stainless steel case is equipped with a screw-down crown with molded natural black rubber guaranteeing water-resistance to 200 ATM (2000 metres-6,600 feet).
The dial, protected by a scratch-resistant sapphire glass, remains perfectly readable down to great depths thanks to its hands, its indexes and its reference point on the bezel enhanced with luminescent SNL.
The crystal also features a magnifying glass above the date, making the “Subaquaneus” even more efficient. The red lettering on the dial and the crown’s ring give the watch a final touch of sporting style.
The “Subaquaneus” fitted with an automatic movement individually controlled in the 6 positions, is presented with a black dial and naturally tailored with the fabulously comfortable and unmatched Hublot natural black rubber strap and the double-hinged clasp that have been the brand’s signature feature since 1980.
