FOR YOUR EYES ONLY IS A HANDSOME LATE 60s/EARLY 70s DIXI MILITARIA 20ATM DIVE CHRONOGRAPH RUNNING ON A VALJOUX 7733.
-
CASE: SOLID STEEL CUSHION CASE IN VERY NICE CONDITION MEASURING A HEALTHY 39mm ACROSS CASE NOT INCLUDING CROWN. THIS ONE REALLY WEARS VERY NICE AND MUCH LARGER THAN THE DIMENSIONS WOULD SUGGEST DUE TO THE THIN BEZEL AND LARGE DIAL. THIS CASE STILL MAINTAINS ITS SHARP BEVELS AND LOOKS AWESOME. THE ROTATING BEZEL BLACK DIVE BEZEL HAS A COOL UTILITARIAN TOOL VIBE WHICH REALLY TIES THE LOOK TOGETHER .
-
DIAL: THIS FACE IS MELLOW WITH ENOUGH ATTITUDE WHERE IT COUNTS. I LOVE THE POP OF COLOR IN THE CHRONO ORANGE SWEEP SECONDS HAND. VERY LEGIBLE AND NO NONSENSE WITH THAT BOLD STICK HANDSET AND CHUNKY APPLIED STEEL MARKERS ALL SHOWCASING SOME LOVELY CREAM COLORED TRITIUM. ORIGINAL PLEXI DOES HAVE SOME MINOR HAIRLINE SCRATCHES WHICH SHOULD EASILY BUFF OUT. THIS FACE IS PURE DYNAMITE.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS HUNKA BURNING LOVE IS POWERED BY A 17J VALJOUX 7733 TICKING UNDER THE HOOD. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING TIME. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN ON THIS ONE BUT THE CHRONO SNAPS BACK TO ZERO PERFECTLY AND HAS BEEN RUNNING WELL OVER WEEKS OF OBSERVATION.
- THIS DIVER DUDE IS MOUNTED ON A COMFY BROWN LEATHER STRAP WHICH IS VERY SPORTY ON THIS OLD TIMER. DIXI WAS A FAMED WATCH TOOL MANUFACTURER AND ENDED UP ACQUIRING ZENITH MOVADO AND MONDIA IN THE 70s AS WELL AS ZODIAC IN THE 90s. THIS ONE HAS A NICE CHUNKINESS TO IT WHILE STILL SEEMING REFINED AND NICELY PROPORTIONED. THIS WOULD BE A GREAT EVERYDAY VINTAGE CHRONOGRAPH.
