The Watch
Avia is an old Swiss (later also Swedish-marketed) watch brand dating back to 1887, when the company Fabrique d’Horlogerie de Montres H. V. Degoumois SA was founded in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. Avia specialized in mechanical wristwatches using quality movements from well-known manufacturers such as ETA, Valjoux, Landeron, and others.
The Avia Marino is a line of water-resistant sports and dive watches emphasizing durability, practical design, and strong mechanical movements. These models were introduced during the 1960s, particularly for markets where sport and diving watches were popular — especially the Italian market.
Avia Marino dive watches are typically characterized by a robust stainless-steel case, often around 37–38 mm, which was a standard size for vintage divers. Tritium lume on hands and markers (a luminous material that now develops vintage patina). Mechanical movements with automatic winding and reliable power reserves.
