FOR SALE IS A WEIRD AND FUTURISTIC NOS 70s MEN'S TECHNOS SUPERCRON AUTOMATIC WITH PYSCHEDELIC DIAL AND FACETED CRYSTAL. ORIGINAL JAPANESE MARKET HANG TAG AND SIGNED BRACELET.
-
CASE: VERY COOL ALL STEEL CUSHION CASE WHICH MEASURES 36.5mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWN. REALLY SHARP EDGES AND FACTORY FRESH FINISHES ON THIS NOS BEAUTY. STILL HAS THE STICKER ON THE CASEBACK!
-
DIAL: THIS IS WHERE THINGS GET PRETTY WILD. LOOKING AT THIS DIAL MIGHT MAKE ONE FEEL LIKE THEY'RE STONED ON QUAALUDES, BUT IT'S NOT THE DRUGS TALKING....THIS FACE IS AN ALL NATURAL HIGH. CHECK OUT THAT FISH SCALE TEXTURED DIAL WITH THE AQUAMARINE AND BLUE COLOR SCHEME WHICH IS REALLY UNLIKE ANYTHING I'VE EVER SEEN. IF THIS DIAL WASN'T DISORIENTING ENOUGH, THE DESIGN FREAKS AT TECHNOS DECIDED TO THROW A FACETED MINERAL GLASS CRYSTAL INTO THE MIX TO REALLY CREATE A DISCO BALL FOR THE WRIST. THOSE BIG CHUNKY ARROW HEAD MARKERS AND THOSE HEAVILY LUMED HANDS ADD TO THE PANDEMONIUM. THIS IS JUST A COMPLETE CLUSTER F**K OF A DIAL, BUT HEY....THE 70s HAD TO BOTTOM OUT SOMEWHERE, AND APPARENTLY IT WAS ON THIS DIAL.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS GENT RUNS ON A CLEAN 25J ETA BASED SWISS AUTOMATIC. WATCH WINDS BUTTER SMOOTH AND IS KEEPING GREAT TIME. I ACQUIRED THIS ONE FROM A COLLECTOR WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE SERVICED THIS ONE IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. DATE IS QUICKSET.
- WATCH COMES ON THE ORIGINAL TECHNOS ALL STEEL BRACELET IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. BRACELET SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACCOMODATE UP TO AN 8" WRIST. I'VE HAVE A LOT OF WEIRD WATCHES PASS THROUGH MY HANDS OVER THE YEARS, BUT NOTHING QUITE LIKE THIS. THE ORIGINAL HANG TAG IS IN JAPANESE WHICH MAKES ME THINK THESE WERE MADE FOR THE JAPANESE MARKET. THIS WOULD MAKE SENSE AS A LOT OF THE DESIGN ELEMENTS SUCH AS THE FACETED CRYSTAL AND THE FISHSCALE DIAL REMIND ME OF STYLISTIC FLOURISHES FOUND ON CITIZEN AND SEIKO MODELS FROM THE SAME ERA. I HAVE A SOFT SPOT FOR THE TECHNOS BRAND. THEY MADE SOME LEGENDARY DIVE WATCHES AND HAD A LOT OF QUIRKY MODELS THAT WERE MADE TO CONTEND WITH RADO. THIS IS A COLLECTOR'S GRADE PIECE... NOT INTENDED FOR THE INTROVERT PERSONALITY TYPE.
