Vintage Casio Sea Pathfinder SPF 70 1V Triple Sensor Dive Watch

A First Sergeant. In 2005, deployed to Iraq with an Army brigade reconnaissance troop, and assigned to the Strategic Counterintelligence Directorate on a seven man PSD team for counterintelligence agents. Plain clothes, thin skin vehicles. "Escorting agents throughout Southern Iraq to make source meets under the guise of bids for reconstruction projects. Our cover was that we were private contract security but we were all active military from every branch." This picture was taken at the Basra power station. The watch was bought on a mission to Kuwait City, while dropping agents off at the airport. "I loved the compass, the temperature and the solar aspects." On the wrist, a Casio Sea Pathfinder SPF-70.

Intel Report

Casio Sea Pathfinder SPF-70 The Sea Pathfinder was the water branch of Casio's Pathfinder family, and the SPF-70 (module 2825) dates to 2004. Its triple sensor package covers pressure, heading and temperature: a digital compass, a barometer with an atmospheric pressure history graph, a thermometer reading from minus 10 to 60 C, and a depth gauge to 30 metres. The dive memory logs the date, total time submerged, maximum depth and water temperature at that depth. Around the sensors: a Duplex LCD, 100 metre water resistance, and Tough Solar power. In North America the Pathfinder name has since given way to Pro Trek, the name Casio already used in the rest of the world. Iraq, 2005 A personal security detail protects and moves people. In the submitter's words, this one escorted counterintelligence agents to source meets across Southern Iraq under the guise of reconstruction bids, in plain clothes and thin skin vehicles, with a cover as private contract security. Every member was active military, drawn from every branch.
