FOR YOU CONSIDERATION IS A MEGA FUNKY 70s MATY BESANCON FRENCH FLIGHT CHRONO WITH THE FAMED PAUL NEWMAN SINGER STYLE DIAL.
-
CASE: HEFTY SOLID STEEL CUSHION CASE IN NICE SHAPE. THIS STUD MEASURES A LARGE 40mm ACROSS CASE NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 43mm LUG TO LUG. THIS THING WEARS BEAUTIFULLY ON THE WRIST. CHECK OUT THAT CRAZY GORGEOUS FLIGHT-TMER BEZEL WITH THE SILVER FIXED CENTER SECTION AND THAT NICELY FADED DENIM BLUE ROTATING OUTER BEZEL. THERE IS A CRACK IN THE BEZEL WHICH DOESN'T EFFECT THE OPERATION AND IS HARDLY NOTICEABLE ON THE WRIST. NICE CHUNKY SOLID PIECE.
-
DIAL: THIS DIAL IS REALLY SOMETHING TO BEHOLD! SUPER FUNKY AND WITH TONS OF VISUAL IMPACT. IT'S ALL ABOUT THOSE PAUL-NEWMAN SUBDIALS AS SEEN ON THE CLASSIC 70s ROLEX DAYTONAS. THE MATT BLACK BACKGROUND IS IN SUPER CLEAN SHAPE. THE LUME PLOTS ON THE DIAL HAVE A NICE WARM PATINA WHICH MATCHES NICELY WITH THAT ON THE HANDSET. I REALLY DIG THOSE CIGARETTE STYLE HANDS WITH THE ORANGE TIPS WHICH PAIR NICELY WITH THE CITRUS SUBDIAL/CHRONO SWEEPER HANDS.THE RED DATE WHEEL IS A NICE TOUCH.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS BEAST IS POWERED BY A VALJOUX 7734. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME. EVERYTHING WORKS CRISPLY ON THIS ONE.
- THIS MATY IS MOUNTED ON AN ROBUST PERFORATED TAN LEATHER STRAP WHICH BRINGS OUT THE SPORTY NATURE OF THIS BEAST. IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO ADD A CHRONO TO YOUR COLLECTION WITH THE SINGER STYLE DIAL, THIS WOULD BE A NICE AFFORDABLE OPTION. THIS ONE REMINDS ME OF ITS FRENCH COUSIN THE "FLYGRAPH" MADE BY LEJOUR/YEMA. THIS ONE IS A TON OF FUN TO WEAR.
