They still exist (or have made a comeback) but now they are silicone instead of whatever they used to be made of.

In most of the pictures and movies where they were worn there was usually about an inch of water in them and I don't know if that has changed but perhaps they fit/seal better made from modern materials.

Are you having issues with masks fitting properly or do you just want to look like you are right out of Thunderball?

There are still plenty of vintage-style oval masks in production and many of them still come with skirts made from the original mask material, natural rubber or neoprene, rather than silicone skirts, which were introduced later for the minority of people who have allergies.

Actually I want to time travel... therefore I'd prefer an actual vintage mask... I'm hoping if I get the right gear I can swim through the space/time membrane and right into a 1962 Florida staghorn/ elk horn reef, then I'll just exit onto the beach, and I won't be coming back

Unfortunately I didn't start quite that far back--would you settle for a 1969 Southern California kelp forest?
