jenny, one of the most important watch manufacturer in deep depth rated diving watches
Hi everyone
I will tell you about the Jenny brand, an emblematic brand that made the first waterproof deep deth rated dive watches to 1000 meters in 1964, 7 years before Omega with the Plo Prof and Rolex with the Sea Dweller. The jenny was designed by Engineers and distinguished from the competition by the triple safe system, ie, monobloc bottom, oversized screw crown, 5 mm thick acrylic glass and three joints. The brand also manufactured 300m models and dive chronographs including a rare waterproof chrono at 1000m with the valjoux 72 (very rare and expensive too). The brand does exist and is remanufacturing historical models at affordable prices and qualitatively worthy of the big brands.

Jennys are technical watches, not common but sought after and of very high quality comparable to the Rolex Seadweller, Omega Ploprof and Certina DS3. They are worth the detour because very well thought out and very durable.
Wishing you all a good day
Sincerely
Georges

Very nice vintage divers
the name of jenny was well known by deep sea divers back then in the 60's-70's and now it is well known by dive watch collectors, my scuba diving instructor had one
Thank you Georges for this very instructive post about an unusual brand and timepieces (at least for the non experts like me)
it is built like a tank and it is a definitely a no frills, no fancy watch but the very good and pristine condition examples are not that easy to find and skyrocketed in value
