-
CASE: CLEAN AND CRISP SOLID STEEL EPSA COMPRESSOR CASE MEASURING IN AT 36mm NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CROSS-HATCH AND SIGNED CROWN BY 41.3mm LUG TO LUG. THIS IS LIKE A DATEJUST ON PEYOTE WITH THAT TWISTED WHITE GOLD FLUTED BEZEL WHICH CAPTURES THE IMAGINATION. CHECK OUT THAT TRIPPY SCUBA-DUDE ON THE CASEBACK. THIS ONE IS A BLAST TO WEAR. THE DRILLED LUGS ARE A NICE ADDED BONUS, TOO.
-
DIAL: GORGEOUS RADIAL BRUSHED SILVER FACE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I JUST LOVE THAT GROOVY APPLIED ONSA LOGO AND THOSE INTERESTING MARKERS WHICH LOOK NICE AND BALANCED WITH THAT STEEL FRAMED DATE WINDOW AT 3. ALL THIS TIED TOGETHER BY SOME SUPER SHARP DAUPHINE HANDS.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS WELL MANNERED GENT RUNS ON A HIGH GRADE 30 JEWEL ETA 2454 AUTOMATIC. QUICKSET IS ACHIEVED BY ROTATING TIME BETWEEN 2000-2400. SERVICE HSTORY IS UNKNOWN ON THIS ONE, BUT SHE'S BEEN KEEPING TIGHT TIME AND RUNS WITH A NICE POWER RESERVE.
I'VE GOT THIS ONSA COMPRESSOR MOUNTED ON A BAD-ASS FLAT BROWN BRIDLE LEATHER STRAP WHICH RIDES THE LINE BETWEEN SPORTY AND ELEGANT....WHICH MAKES SENSE FOR THIS PIECE. I JUST LOVE THE BLENDING OF VINTAGE WATCH GENRES ON THIS ONE. ON ONE HAND, IT'S A MANLY DRESS WATCH WITH SLEEK LINES AND A CLASSY DIAL, AND ON THE OTHER ITS A SPORTY DIVER CASED IN A COMPRESSOR STEEL BODY. EPSA, WHO MANUFACTURED THE CASE FOR THIS ONE, WAS FAMOUS AND HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER IN THE 60s AND 70s FOR THEIR EXTREMELY STURDY SUPER-COMPRESSOR CASES. THIS IS A GORGEOUS ALL PURPOSE VINTAGE WATCH WITH A GREAT LOOK AND AN AWESEOME PEDIGREE.
