WATCH COMES MOUNTED ON A RUGGED BROWN LEATHER STRAP WHICH I FELT PAIRED WELL WITH THIS PIECE. THE NIVADA BRAND WAS ONE OF THE COOLEST SWISS COMPANIES OFFERING SOME OF THE MOST LEGENDARY DIVERS AND CHRONOS OF THE 60s AND 70s SUCH AS THE CHRONOMASTER AVIATOR SEA DIVER AND THE ANTARCTIC. THE TRAVELMASTER IS A CLASSIC IN ITS OWN RIGHT AND THIS HAPPENS TO BE A BEAUTIFUL AND VERY WELL PRESERVED EXAMPLE. THIS WAS INTENDED AS A PROTOTYPE OR SAMPLE MODEL AS THE QUICKSET DATE BUTTON ON THE NON-CROWN SIDE IS A DUMMY. THERE ARE A COUPLE SIMILAR EXAMPLES OF THESE FLOATING AROUND THE COLLECTOR WORLD. THIS IS FOR THE TRUE ADVENTURER AND TRAILBLAZER LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT PACKS A BUZZ.
