Coinciding with the great mans 100th birthday, the EOT (Equation Of Time) Dive watch forum shows pictures, apparently of Jacques Cousteau wearing what looks convincingly like a Seiko cushion-case diver, from the dial markings, straight vent strap etc probably a 6309/6306-704* diver! Does anyone have other pictures or filmclips of this Legend of Diving wearing a 6309/6?? Does anyone know from which film these shots were taken - this might give us a date, allowing us to exclude specific models.
Input regarding the sponsoring of Cousteau's dive watches would be interesting too. I never heard of Seiko sponsoring Cousteau, so would he have chosen the 6309 from a drawer full of *mega Ploprofs and R*lexes, or was he a WIS with a hectic rotation just like us!? Or, did he get to that stage in life where he said "Life's to short NOT to wear the best dive watch in the world, GIMME that 6309!" ;D
I have included a single picture from EOT below, for more shots please visit the original EOT post at: http://www.equationoftime.com/forums/showthread.php?p=194638
