Vintage Droz Super compressor 42mm

2019 is going to be a good year as I have managed to find a nice 42mm Droz super compressor from Stockholm Sweden.

Droz R.A.N. (Royal Australian Navy) Super Compressor (*) double crown, military wristwatch dating the 60's, Royal Australian Navy equipping 
Serial number #13655, not issued. 

This Droz has a Larger case 42mm (excluding crown) width compare to my previous Droz, which is only 36mm in diameter. My first Droz was found 14th Dec 2017. It took me a year to find the larger 42mm Droz Supercompressor. 

The watch is equipped with Automatic movement cal. ETA 2472 on 25 jewels with incabloc patented anti-shock system.

Screwed stainless steel back 
200 meters / 20 ATM water proof 
Bi-direxctional bezel managed by crown at hour 2 with Luminescent tritium treated hands and hour markers. It has a red arrow seconds hand and date at 3.

There are 3 types of compressor cases: the Compressor, Compressor 2 & Super Compressor. 

From the intermet forum, there are several verisons of the Droz super compressor namely the 36mm and the 42mm. The 42mm versions have one with normal long lugs and another with the shorter lugs (some collectors called this version the cushion version). My is with the shorter lugs, cushion version.

I have slowed down my hunt for vintage watches and this may be my last three...
