COMING AT YOU IS THIS MEGA RAD LATE 60s JULES JURGENSEN LARGE EYE LANDERON 248 PANDA DIVER !!!!
-
CASE: HEFTY SOLID STEEL CASE IN AWESOME CONDITION. THIS BEAUTY MEASURES A LARGE 38mm ACROSS CASE NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CROWN BY 42mm LUG TO LUG. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHRONO CASES OF THE 60s/70s...JUST WEARS SO NICE ON THE WRIST AND EVEN BIGGER THAN THE MEASUREMENTS WOULD SUGGEST BECAUSE OF THAT WIDE DIAL AND THIN BEZEL. THE FACTORY ORIGINAL RADIAL BRUSHING IS STILL PRESENT ON THE CASE TOP, AND OVERALL THIS ONE IS IN GREAT SHAPE.
-
DIAL: THIS LARGE EYE PANDA DIAL IS A TOTAL BADASS. THE PERFECT MIX OF PATINA AND BOLD CONTRAST. THAT HEAVY BRUSHED SILVER SUNBURST FINISH IS REALLY LUXURIOUS. AND, THAT CONTRAST WITH THOSE SUNKEN LARGE SUBDIALS IS A REALLY COOL LOOK. I DIG ALL THE BLACK ACCENTS ON THIS ONE FROM THOSE THICK STICK HANDS WITH THE DARK AGED LUME TO THE APPLIED MARKERS....SO FRIGGIN COOL. THIS DIAL MIXES IN SOME NICE POPS OF COLOR WITH THE RED COUNTDOWN SEGMENT IN THE SUBDIAL AND THAT TANGERINE CHRONO HAND. IT ALL COMES TOGETHER AMAZINGLY
-
MOVEMENT: THIS GUY IS POWERED BY A GILTED LANDERON 248 SIGNED JULES JURGENSEN. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT WATCH HAS BEEN BEHAVING AMAZINGLY FOR WEEKS OF ON/OFF WRIST OBSERVATION.
- THIS JULES IS MOUNTED ON A PERIOD APPROPRIATE MESH BRACELET WHICH LOOKS SUPER SPORTY. THIS IS A FANTASTIC EXAMPLE OF A LATE 60s PANDA DIAL CHRONOGRAPH. WHAT MAKES THIS PIECE REALLY STAND OUT, BESIDES LOOKING MASSIVELY COOL, IS THAT THIS WAS A 20ATM RATED DIVE WATCH BUT DIDN'T HAVE A ROTATING BEZEL. IT REMINDS YOU THAT THIS WAS A CAPABLE SPORTS WATCH BACK IN THE DAY BUT WAS ALSO A NICE EVERYDAY PIECE.
