HUNKY~70s RESTON/GIGANDET "BIG BOY" 20ATM DIVE CHRONO

Regular price $0.69 Sale

COMING AT YOU IS THIS STUDLY HEAVY DUTY RESTON SIGNED GIGANDET "BIG BOY" DIVE CHRONO WITH KILLER GREY/WHITE DIAL.

 

  • CASE: MASSIVE SOLID STEEL CASE IN GOOD VINTAGE CONDITION.   THIS GUY MEASURES A LARGE 41mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 48mm LUG TO LUG. THIS CASE DOES HAVE SIGNS OF WEAR AND TEAR FROM YEARS OF ACTION, BUT IT IS VERY FITTING FOR A BADASS SPORTS WATCH SUCH AS THIS.  THIS IS A HEAVY WATCH WITH NICE THICK FACETED LUGS AND LARGER THAN LIFE WRIST PRESENCE.  BLACK BEZEL IS IN GOOD SHAPE WITH SOME WEAR/FADE AROUND THE EDGE.  FRICTION BEZEL IS REALLY A TREAT TO OPERATE AND ROTATES SMOOTHLY.  CHECK OUT THAT ETCHED PIRATE SHIP WHICH WAS THE LOGO THAT GIGANDET USED ON THEIR WATCH BACKS.  

 

  • DIAL: THIS BOLD 2-TONE GREY/SILVER-WHITE DIAL IS TOTALLY RAD.  I LOVE ALL THE CONTRAST ON THIS FACE WITH THOSE BLACK MARKERS AND HANDS. THE YELLOW SUBDIAL AND CHRONO SWEEPER ADD A NICE POP OF COLOR.  JUST A LEGIBLE AND FUNKY FACE.

 

  • MOVEMENT: THIS MACHO DIVE CHRONO IS POWERED BY A SWISS 17J VALJOUX 7733.  ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT WATCH HAS BEEN BEHAVING AMAZINGLY FOR WEEKS OF ON/OFF WRIST OBSERVATION.

 

  • THESE BIG-BOY DIVE CHRONOS WERE EXTREMELY LARGE AND HEAVY FOR THEIR TIME.  THESE HAVE BECOME QUITE COLLECTIBLE DUE TO THEIR FUNKY STYLING AND BULLETPROOF BUILD QUALITY.  THESE ARE PERFECT FOR THOSE LARGE WRISTED WATCH FANS WHO DON'T WANT TO SACRIFICE ON SIZE WHEN LOOKING FOR A VINTAGE PIECE.  THESE WERE PRODUCED BY GIGANDET/WAKMANN WHICH WERE UNDER THE BREITLING UMBRELLA.  THIS ONE MUST HAVE BEEN PRODUCED BY GIGANDET FOR A SMALLER COMPANY BRANDED RESTON.
