In the late 1980s/early 1990s, Precista was contracted to produce a dive watch with 300 meters of water-resistance. Additional specs included a stainless steel case, a matte-black dial with tritium paint, a bezel with hash marks for each minute, and 20-millimeter lugs. The watch had a quartz movement. These watches were never given a model name so they tend to be referenced by the brand name, issue year, or by the case back markings, which begin with “6645-99.” | In the late 1980s/early 1990s, Precista was contracted to produce a dive watch with 300 meters of water-resistance.
