FOR SALE IS A SUPER RARE EARLY 70s WITTNAUER AUTOMATIC WITH CHUNKY UFO STYLE CASE AND MIND-BENDING HAMMERED RADIANT BLUE DIAL ON ORIGINAL BRACELET
-
CASE: BLOCKY ALL-STEEL UFO CASE MEASURING A LARGE 40mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING CROWN. CASE IS IN EXCELLENT AND UNPOLISHED CONDITION MAINTAINING ITS ORIGINAL AND UNIFORM BRUSHED FINISH. THIS ONE WEARS LIKE A DREAM. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THIS IS NOT A 41-42mm PIECE BECAUSE IT'S ALL DIAL WHICH GIVES IT SOME STRONG WRIST PRESENCE. THIS ONE HAS A SUBTLE ERGONOMIC DESIGN WITH THE CASEBACK DEEPLY RECESSED WHICH ALLOWS THIS ONE TO WEAR SUPER COMFY.
-
DIAL: NOW, THIS IS AS GOOD AS THEY GET, PEOPLE. JUST LOOK AT THAT THING. SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT ON THIS ONE, BUT I'LL REALLY LET THE PICS DO THE TALKING. I'VE SEEN DIALS WITH TEXTURE ON THEM, BUT THIS HAMMERED IRIDESCENT BLUE ONE TAKES THE CAKE. SO MUCH DEPTH AND PERSONALITY...YOU MAY EVEN HAVE A HARD TIME TELLING THE TIME JUST GETTING LOST IN THAT RIPPLED FACE. THE RADIAL FLIP ARABIC NUMERALS ARE A GROOVY TOUCH. I LOVE THAT POP OF ORANGE ON THAT SWEEPER SECOND HAND. SO DAMN COOL.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS DIVER RUNS ON A 17 JEWEL ETA BASED AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT. IT RUNS SMOOTH AND KEEPS EXCELLENT TIME. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN ON THIS ONE, BUT IT RUNS LIKE A TOTAL BOSS.
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON ITS ORIGINAL STAINLESS STEEL WITTNAUER SIGNED BRACELET CURRENTLY SIZED FOR A 7" WRIST WITH 7 MICRO-ADJUSTS LEFT TO SIZE UP AND SOME REMOVABLE LINKS TO SIZE DOWN. THIS IS ONE VINTAGE DIVER THAT YOU RARELY SEE POP UP, AND VERY FEW WERE MADE BY THE BRAND. CLEARLY IT'S ALL ABOUT THE DIAL ON THIS WITTY, BUT THE ROBUST SIZE, THE COOL BRACELET, AND THE OVERALL 70s FUNKINESS MAKE THIS A PERFECT PACKAGE.
