COMING AT YOU IS THIS TOTALLY RAD EARLY 70s BUCHERER BRANDED CHRONOMASTER AVIATOR SEA-DIVER VALJOUX 7733 IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.
-
CASE: BEAUTIFUL SOLID STEEL CASE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. REALLY NICE FACTORY ORIGINAL BRUSHED FINISH ON THE TOP IS LOOKING FRESH. I LOVE THE POLISHED CHAMFERS ON THIS ONE THAT LEAD DOWN TO THE BRUSHED SIDES. REALLY GREAT CRAFTSMANSHIP. THIS DUDE MEASURES A NICE 38mm ACROSS CASE NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CROWN. THIS IS THE SAME CASE USED BY CROTON ON A FEW OF THEIR LATE 60s/EARLY 70s CHRONOMASTER AVIATOR SEA-DIVERS. CHECK OUT THAT REALLY FRESH INSET BLACK BEZEL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH THE DUAL SCALE MILITARY NUMERALS. THIS ONE REALLY WEARS MORE LIKE A 39-40 BECAUSE OF THE THIN BEZEL AND RELATIVELY WIDER DIAL.
-
DIAL: CLASSIC NIVADA/CROTON CASD LAYOUT WITH THE RED COUNTDOWN SEGMENT ON THE BLACK MINUTES SUBDIAL WHICH IS THE HALLMARK FOR THESE MODELS. CHECKOUT THAT TOTALLY 70s TAUPE DIAL WHICH LOOKS REALLY DOPE WITH THE BLACK SUBDIALS AND THOSE FAT WHITE/BLACK REGISTER HANDS. ORIGINAL TRITIUM IS LOOKING CREAMY AND WELL AGED EVENLY ON HANDS AND DIAL.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS SURFER DUDE IS POWERED BY A VALJOUX 7733 ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT THIS ONE HAS BEEN RUNNING FLAWLESSLY OVER WEEKS OF OBSERVATION
- THIS BITCHIN DIVE CHRONO IS MOUNTED ON ITS ORIGINAL Y-LINK ALL STEEL BRACELET WHICH CAN ACCOMMODATE UP TO AN 8” WRIST. BUCHERER IS A WELL KNOWN LUXURY BRAND THAT CONTINUES TO PUT OUT HIGH END PIECES UNDER CARL F BUCHERER. IN THE 60s AND 70s THEY WERE MAKING SOME PRETTY COOL CHRONOS AND DIVERS USUALLY BORROWING CASES FROM OTHER EXISTING MODELS. THIS WAS THEIR RENDITION OF THE LEGENDARY NIVADA-GRENCHEN CHRONOMASTER AVIATOR SEA DIVER MODEL WHICH HAVE BECOME HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE WITH THE RECENT RELAUNCH OF THE BRAND. CONDITION IS KEY ON THIS GUY. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF AN EPIC MODEL!
