Mortima Super Datomatic
More actions
The Mortima Super Datomatic was the date-equipped line of Cattin & Cie, the Morteau, France manufacture whose Mortima brand made it Europe's largest integrated producer of pin-pallet watches. Despite the "-matic" name, the line ran on hand-wound Roskopf-type calibers, chiefly the extra-flat Cattin C 66 with pin-pallet escapement and quick-change date, introduced in the mid-1960s. Advertised by 1964 on 35 mm dress models, the name is best remembered on the big chromed cushion-case skin divers Cattin built from 1965 onward: coin-edge rotating bezels, luminous plots over inner 24-hour numerals, "Waterproof 100%" dials, and tachymeter or world-time variants, all sold at deliberately popular prices. Surviving examples commonly still run, which is exactly the argument post-apocalyptic costume design later made for them. (Time2Tell)
