A sleek, perfectly balanced 1970s Swiss classic that combines cool understatement with serious wrist presence.
The dial is the star: an immaculate sunburst grey that shifts from bright silver to deep anthracite depending on the light, finished with polished applied baton markers, crisp dauphine hands, and a framed date window at 3 o’clock. Clean, modern, and effortlessly stylish.
Powered by its original 17-jewel manual-wind movement with reliable 'Incabloc' shock protection. Running well for its age.
The unpolished stainless steel case measures approximately 35 mm (excluding crown) with a compact 42 mm lug-to-lug – a sweet spot that wears comfortably on almost any wrist while still making a confident statement. Original signed crown and only light, honest signs of wear that add character rather than detract.
