FOR YOUR EYES ONLY IS A VIBRANT AND COLORFUL EARLY 70s DESOTOS CHRONO-DATE DIVER IN NEAR MINT CONDITION.
-
CASE: CLASSY ALL-STEEL CASE IN SUPER SHARP CONDITION. SHE MEASURES 38mm NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CROWN BY 42mm LUG TO LUG. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CASE SHAPES WITH THAT ANGULAR CUSHION SHAPE. CHECK OUT THE ORIGINAL BRUSHED FINISH ON THE CASE-TOP. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BEZEL ON THIS ONE, THOUGH. THAT SHINY BLUE REALLY POPS.
-
DIAL: MIND BLOWING PSYCHEDELIA RIGHT HERE. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING WITH SOME COLOR, THIS IS FOR YOU. CHECK OUT THAT DAZZLING BLUE SUNBURST DIAL WITH THOSE NICE APPLIED STEEL MARKERS. THEN, YOU HAVE THAT FUNKY ROULETTE ACTION FOR THE MINUTE TRACK WHICH IMMEDIATELY CATCHES THE EYE. BUT, WHEN YOU SEE THAT MULTI-COLOR TACHY SCALE.....YOU'RE GONNA BE HOOKED. IF THIS DIAL WASN'T COOL ENOUGH, YOU HAVE THAT GROOVY DATE WINDOW AT 12, THE SPLASH OF ORANGE ON THE MINUTE SUBDIAL, AND THAT GNARLY RED TIPPED LOLLIPOP HAND. IT MAKES MY HEART FLUTTER JUST DESCRIBING IT.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS CHRONO IS POWERED BY THE VENERABLE 17J LANDERON 189. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING TIME AND CHRONO FUNCTIONS CRISPLY. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT MY WATCHMAKER DID JUST CHECK THIS ONE OUT AND GAVE IT A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH.
THIS DESOTOS IS MOUNTED ON A PERIOD APPROPRIATE CORFAM STYLE BIG HOLE 22mm RALLYE STRAP WHICH LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MADE FOR THIS DUDE. THIS WATCH IS THE ULTIMATE FUNKY SUMMER CHRONOGRAPH. IT'S SPORTY, COLORFUL, AND A BLAST TO WEAR.
