Mares Ruby Regulator + TUSA Gauge Set Diving Equipment

High-performance 1990s Italian diving regulator, Ruby model, with TUSA 2-gauge (air pressure + depth) hose and original storage case.

Release Period: Appeared in the late 1990s (around 1997-1998).
Original Price: The exact retail price varied depending on the country of sale and set contents, but in Japan, this high-end model was sold as a full set for around ¥200,000 to ¥300,000.
At the time, it was Mares' flagship model, a groundbreaking, highly durable model that used a synthetic ruby (artificial gemstone) for the valve seat in the first stage.

I purchased this new about 30 years ago to get my diving license. I successfully obtained my qualification and went diving three times. Due to health issues, it has been stored in a drawer ever since. I haven't been able to part with it until now. It looks very clean, but it has not been overhauled. The rubber hose is slightly sticky. I would like to pass this on to a collector or someone who will definitely have it overhauled. Thank you for your consideration.
