-
CASE: BLOCKY ALL-STEEL CUSHION CASE MEASURING A NICE 38mm ACROSS BEZEL NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CROWN BY 43mm LUG TO LUG. CASE IS IN EXCELLENT AND UNPOLISHED CONDITION. THIS ONE WEARS LIKE A DREAM. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THIS IS NOT A 40-41mm PIECE BECAUSE IT'S ALL DIAL WHICH GIVES IT SOME STRONG WRIST PRESENCE. CHECK OUT THAT GORGEOUS CANDY RED BAKELITE BEZEL IN REALLY WELL PRESERVED SHAPE. THERE IS A MINOR CRACK AT 15, BUT OVERALL THIS THING IS IN AWESOME CONDITION WITH VERY LITTLE SCRATCHING AND NO FADE IN THE COLOR. IT ROTATES BIDIRECTIONALLY WITH THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF FRICTION.

DIAL: NOW, THIS IS AS GOOD AS THEY GET, PEOPLE. JUST LOOK AT THAT THING. SO MUCH TO TALK ABOUT ON THIS ONE, BUT I'LL REALLY LET THE PICS DO THE TALKING. I JUST LOVE THAT BULLSEYE SCHEME WITH ALL THOSE LAYERS OF RINGS. KILLER COLOR COMBO WITH THE SILVERY WHITE CENTRAL SEGMENT AND THE DARK BLUE OUTER SEGMENT. THE BLUE/WHITE HANDSET IS SO SO COOL. LUME PLOTS ARE MAINLY INTACT ON THE MIRRORED RING THAT SLOPES DOWN TO THE DIAL AND MATCHES WELL WITH THE AGED TRITIUM ON THE HANDS. FOR ME, IT'S THAT DAY/DATE WINDOW WITH THE DAY DISC IN RED AND THE DATE WITH BLUE PRINT ON THE WHITE DISC WHICH REALLY SEALS THE DEAL. REALLY FANTASTIC CONDITION WITH JUST SOME MINOR STAINS MARKS ON THE SILVERY WHITE AREA.

MOVEMENT: THIS DIVER RUNS ON A SWISS A.SCHILD AUTOMATIC MOVEMENT MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR WITTNAUER. IT RUNS BUTTER SMOOTH AND KEEPS EXCELLENT TIME. DATE IS SEMI QUICKSET BY PUSHING IN ON THE CROWN. DAY IS NON-QUICKSET. I JUST HAD THIS ONE PROFESSIONALLY SERVICED, AND IT'S RUNNING LIKE A CHAMP.
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A RUGGED AGED BROWN LEATHER STRAP WHICH LOOKS SUPER COOL AND LETS THE DIAL DO ALL THE TALKING. THIS IS ONE VINTAGE DIVER THAT YOU RARELY SEE POP UP, AND VERY FEW WERE MADE BY THE BRAND. I THINK I'VE SEEN MAYBE 2 OTHERS IN MY DECADE PLUS OF WATCH HUNTING. IT'S HARD TO BEAT THE FUNKY COLOR COMBO AND VIBE OF THIS CLASSIC. IN MY OPINION, THE DIVERS AND CHRONOS FROM WITTNAUER FROM THIS TIME PERIOD EASILY RIVAL THOSE BEING PRODUCED BY HEUER AND OMEGA. THIS ONE IS A TOTAL DREAM AND READY FOR ACTION
