FOR SALE IS A SUPER RAD 70s MEMOSAIL REGATTA CHRONOGRAPH WITH MULTICOLOR COUNTDOWN DISPLAY.
-
CASE: HEAVY DUTY SOLID STEEL CASE MEASURING A ROBUST 43mm ACROSS NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 44mm LUG TO LUG. THIS CASE IS IN REALLY CLEAN SHAPE WITH ALL ITS ORIGINAL LINES INTACT. THIS IS A HEAVY PIECE OF YACHTING EQUIPMENT RIGHT HERE.
-
DIAL: POSSIBLY ONE OF THE MOST COLORFUL DIALS TO EMERGE FROM THE 70s. THAT BLUE DIAL WITH THE BRUSHED STEEL INTERNAL RING IS A REALLY COOL LOOK, BUT IT'S ALL ABOUT THAT REGATTA TIMER DISPLAY WHICH RUNS FROM 12 TO 4. AS YOU ENGAGE THE CHRONO, THE YELLOW DISC COUNTS DOWN THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES, FOLLOWED BY THE NEXT FIVE MINUTE INCREMENT WITH THE RED SECTION. FINALLY, IT ENDS WITH THE LAST 5 MINUTES ON THE WHITE SEGMENT OF THE DISC THAT SPELLS OUT "START". I'M NO YACHTING MAN, MYSELF, BUT THIS THING IS JUST A TON OF FUN TO PLAY WITH.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS YACHT ROCKER RUNS ON THE FAMOUS VALJOUX 7737 MADE SPECIFICALLY FOR THESE WATCHES. MOVEMENT LOOKS CLEAN. I DO NOT KNOW THE SERVICE HISTORY, BUT WATCH IS RUNNING GREAT AND ALL FUNCTIONS WORK SNAPPY.
WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A GENUINE BLUE PERIOD APPROPRIATE VINTAGE TROPIC STAR STRAP WHICH LOOKS BONKERS COOL. SUCH A BLAST TO WEAR. THESE ARE SOME OF THE MOST ENJOYABLE SPORTS WATCHES FROM THE 70s. BETWEEN THE GREAT STYLE, THAT FUN REGATTA COMPLICATION, AND THAT CHUNKY SIZE, THIS IS A MUST-HAVE SUMMER CHRONOGRAPH. THIS IS THE STEEL VERSION WHICH IS MORE RARE AND COLLECTIBLE VERSUS THE CHROME PLATED VARIANTS. POP SOME HALL AND OATES ON THE 8 TRACK, POUR YOURSELF SOME BUBBLY, AND PUSH THAT YACHT-TIMER START BUTTON.
