SPORTY~50s WAKMANN VENUS 188 MILITARY FIELD CHRONO

FOR YOUR EYES ONLY IS A SPORTY 1950s WAKMANN MILITARY FIELD CHRONO IN FABULOUS CONDITION RUNNING ON A CLEAN VENUS 188. SIGNEX 3X

• CASE: CLASSY GOLD PLAQUE CASE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION MEASURING 35.5mm NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 42.5mm LUG TO LUG.  I DIG THOSE RECTANGULAR PUSHERS WITH JUST A BIT OF AGE TO THEM. CASE HAS NO SIGNS OF WEAR IN THE GOLD JUST A BIT OF BRASSING ON THE CROWN SIDE OF THE CASE.  OVERALL THIS CASE LOOKS PRETTY DAPPER.   

• DIAL: SIMPLY STUNNING.  THIS SILVER SUNBURST DIAL IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION.  I JUST LOVE THOSE LUMED ARABIC NUMERALS WHICH HAVE HELD UP AMAZINGLY AND STILL GIVE A FAINT GLOW WHEN EXPOSED TO LIGHT. CHECK OUT THOSE ATTRACTIVE SUNKEN DEEP-DISH SUB DIALS WHICH ADD SOME NICE DEPTH TO THIS FACE.  SUCH AN EASY TO READ TIMEPIECE WITH THOSE BLACK HANDS WHICH STANDOUT NICELY AGAINST THE DIAL. THE LUME ON THE HANDS LOOK TO BE ORIGINAL AND MATCH NICELY WITH THAT ON THE DIAL.  MY FAVORITE DESIGN ELEMENT IS THAT TACHY SCALE IN BLUE ON THE PERIPHERY OF THE DIAL.  THIS IS JUST SUCH A WELL EXECUTED DIAL. 

• MOVEMENT: THIS CHRONO IS POWERED BY THE CLASSIC VENUS 188 WHICH IS LOOKING MIGHTY CLEAN .  ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING TIME AND CHRONO FUNCTIONS CRISPLY.  WATCH WAS SERVICED BACK IN 2015 AND IS IN TIGHT WORKING ORDER.
