Mirexal Superautomatic Diver

Details

A Proper Tool Watch From An Uncommon Name

Mirexal was the private label brand for Migros, Switzerland's largest retail company, offering quality Swiss watches directly to the domestic market. This meant that to compete on home turf, the watches had to be good. This Superautomatic Diver from the 1970s is a prime example of the era's robust tool watch design, rated to 300 meters. With a substantial 40mm steel case, which was considered quite large for its time, and a bold, high-contrast dial, it has all the hallmarks of a serious vintage diver built with purpose.

Bold Seventies Character

This example stands out with its distinct and confident color scheme. The black dial serves as a clean base for the bright orange hands and the two-tone red and blue instrumentation at three o'clock. It is a purely functional design choice that gives the watch a unique visual identity. The long, thick lugs amplify its presence on the wrist, making it wear with a more modern feel than its vintage origins might suggest. It’s a piece that captures the adventurous spirit of 1970s watch design.

Untouched And Honest Condition

This watch presents in great cosmetic, untouched condition. The stainless steel case appears unpolished, retaining its original lines. Both the dial and crystal are free from any scratches or marks. The lume in the hands and across the hour markers has aged to an even and consistent yellow patina. All parts, including the crown and dial, are original to the watch. As with every watch we offer, this piece has been verified as mechanically sound and is ready to wear.

The Alternative Vintage Diver

This is the right choice for someone who wants the integrity and feel of a 1970s diver but prefers a path less traveled. It offers a strong wrist presence and a build quality intended to compete in the demanding Swiss market. The combination of its 40mm size, automatic movement, and vibrant dial makes it a versatile and engaging watch that stands apart from the more common names of the era.

What Our Clients Say About Us

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
