FOR SALE IS A RARE LATE 60s LANCO SEABORN 3000 WITH EARLY HELIUM ESCAPE SCREW DOWN CROWN AND CRAZY SEXY/FUNKY MARKERS. FRESH FROM THE WATCHMAKER!
-
CASE: OVERSIZED AND SEXY SOLID STEEL MEASURING A HEFTY 40mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING SCREW-DOWN CROWN BY 44mm LUG TO LUG. I JUST LOVE THE TANK-LIKE CONSTRUCTION ON THIS ONE. CHECK OUT THAT HELIUM ESCAPE VALVE BUILT INTO THE CROWN....SO BADASS!!! I JUST LOVE THAT EXTREMELY CLEAN BLACK BEZEL WITH THE ORIGINAL LUME PIP TRIANGLE INTACT. THE BEZEL IS LOVELY TO OPERATE WITH THOSE PROMINENT TEETH ON THE EDGE WHICH MAKE IT SUPER EASY TO GRIP. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BEAST.
-
DIAL: THIS DARK GREY SUNBURST DIAL IS AS GROOVY AS THEY COME. IT'S ALL ABOUT THOSE WIDE RIDGED MARKERS WITH THOSE HEAVILY LUMED PLOTS. THESE TOWERING MARKERS DOMINATE THIS FACE AND REALLY MAKE THIS DIAL SPARKLE. SUCH AN AWESOME AND BOLD HANDSET, AND WHO DOESN'T LOVE A CHERRY RED SWEEP SECONDS HAND?
-
MOVEMENT: THIS LANCO RUNS ON A HIGH-GRADE IN-HOUSE 25J LANCO 1145 AUTOMATIC WHICH JUST RETURNED BACK FROM A FULL-OVERHAUL FROM MY WATCHMAKER. WATCH IS KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME AND RUNNING STRONG. DATE IS QUICKSET BY ROTATING THE TIME SETTING BETWEEN 21:45 AND 24HOURS.
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A THICK AND ROBUST DARK BROWN HANDMADE HORWEEN LEATHER STRAP MADE BY @WATCHDISPLAY WHICH FEELS AWESOME STRAPPED TO THE WRIST. THIS IS REALLY A REMARKABLE PIECE OF ENGINEERING FROM THE LATE 60s WHICH WEARS NICE AND MODERN BECAUSE OF THE GENEROUS SIZE. IF YOU ARE A DIVE WATCH NUT, THIS IS ONE YOU ARE GONNA WANT FOR YOUR COLLECTION.
