Hi, I just purchased an old Aqua Lung Calypso depth gauge wrist watch, and I was looking for more information about it. Wondering if there is a way to know what year it was made and what it's worth, if anything? Thanks in advance!

I think they sell on eBay for about $20 if they still work. Maybe a little more if they are pristine.

I have one :) The main problem is that they get clogged because the salt water gets inside the bourdon tube and crystallizes or something and it's tricky to clean them out. Another possible problem I see is that leather band :wink:

I don't actually dive with mine any more but I used to. It still works but I have to mess with it every time I use it (rinse it with a hypodermic full of water) I got it in the 70s and suspect it was probably made in the 60s. Someone here probably has an old catalog with the gauge in it.
 
If you go to Vintage Double Hose, Bryan has pdfs of the old Aqualung catalogs you can see when it entered the catalog. I suspect the band is homemade.
