A Very Collectable Jenny Hi Swing Caribbean Dive Watch with a Retro Deep-Blue Dial and Original Lume, c.1968

Jenny Watches (pronounced “Yenny”) is a Swiss brand with a rich heritage in professional dive watch innovation. Founded in 1963 by Jenny & Cie S.A., the brand made its mark with the Jenny Caribbean 1000, the worlds first dive watch rated to 1,000 meters of water resistance a groundbreaking achievement at the time. These watches featured patented monobloc cases and helium escape valves, innovations that influenced the development of many modern dive watches.

Though Jenny watches were produced under various names (including Philip Watch and Doxa, which it later acquired), the Jenny name has maintained cult status among collectors for its rugged engineering and vintage charm. The brand was revived in recent years with retro-inspired reissues, staying true to its deep-sea legacy.

What’s on Offer

Crafted in stainless steel, it features a robust monobloc case design and boasts an impressive water resistance rating of 1000 metres a hallmark of Jennys pioneering dive technology.

The deep-blue dial is both striking and legible, complemented by oversized luminous hour plots and chunky luminous hands for optimal visibility in low-light or underwater environments. The date aperture at 3 oclock is a useful functional detail.

The rotating bezel, essential for tracking elapsed dive time, shows slight signs of previous wear, consistent with the watch’s use but still in good overall condition. The combination of professional-grade specs and vintage-inspired aesthetics makes this Jenny Caribbean 1500 a desirable piece for both divers and collectors alike. It’s certainly not a wallflower and looks great on the wrist – we love it!
