DIAL: SHAZAM!!!. JUST TAKE A GANDER AT THAT BULLSYE 2-TONE SILVER ON GREY ACTION. THIS PERFECTLY CAPTURES THE GROOVY ATTITUDE OF THE 60s. THERE'S A LOT TO LOOK AT HERE WITH THAT SUNBURST DARK SILVER CENTRAL SEGMENT, THE GREY MATTE MIDDLE RING HOUSING THE ONYX/GOLD MARKERS, AND THAT MIRRORED PERIPHERAL RING WHERE THE LUME PLOTS SIT. IT'S LIKE A TINY LITTLE UNIVERSE ORBITING AROUND THOSE SEXY SANDWICH STYLE HANDS. SPEAKING OF HANDS...HOW COOL IS THAT LONG BLACK HYPODERMIC NEEDLE HAND? THIS THING IS JUST SO SEXY.
MOVEMENT: THIS GENTLEMAN RUNS ON A 13 JEWEL ESA BASED ELECTRO-MECHANICAL MOVEMENT WHICH USES A BATTERY TO RUN A BALANCE WHEEL AND TICKS WITH A SMOOTH SWEEP AT 18000 BPH. THESE WERE EXTREMELY ROBUST CUTTING EDGE MOVEMENTS FOR THEIR TIME. THIS ONE KEEPS GOOD TIME AND RUNS LIKE A CHAMP.
WATCH COMES ON A BUFFALO GRAINED LEATHER STRAP WHICH ANCHORS THIS SUCKER DOWN ON THE WRIST FIRMLY. BUCHERER IS ONE OF THOSE CLASSIC WATCH COMPANIES WHICH MADE SOME REAL STANDOUT PIECES DURING THIS MID TO LATE 60s PERIOD. THE COMPANY ALSO HAS LINKS TO ROLEX HAVING PARTNERED WITH THAT FAMED BRAND BACK IN THE 1920s. TODAY THE COMPANY IS ALIVE AND KICKING NOW BRANDED AS CARL F BUCHERER AND MAKES HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER LUXURY WATCHES. THESE ELECTRONIC PIECES USE A TECHNOLOGY THAT PRE-DATES BOTH THE TUNING FORK AND THE QUARTZ TECHNOLOGY AND ARE JUST A BLAST TO OPERATE. THIS ONE HAS A TON OF FUNKY CHARM AND SCRATCHES THAT 60s/70s GOLD ITCH QUITE NICELY.
