FOR SALE IS A TOTALLY RAD LATE 60s PONTIAC EPSA SUPERCOMPRESSOR WITH FABULOUS GLOSS DIAL. JUST SERVICED.
-
CASE: SHARP ALL-STEEL EPSA SUPERCOMPRESSOR CASE MEASURING 36.2mm ACROSS CASE NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED PONTIAC CROWNS BY 43.5mm LUG TO LUG. I LOVE THE DRILLED LUG HOLES AND THOSE BEEFY LUGS WHICH MAKES THIS ONE WEAR LIKE A DREAM.
-
DIAL: OH HELL YEAH!! GET A LOOK AT THAT HANDSOME GLOSS BLACK DIAL WITH PATINA IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES. I LOVE THE WAY THE TRITIUM HAS AGED ON THIS ONE. THE HEAVY APPLIED LUME MARKERS HAVE A GORGEOUS CUSTARD TONE WITH THE LUMED PIP ON THE BEZEL AND THE HANDS HAVING A SLIGHTLY MORE TOASTY COMPLEXION. I LOVE THAT CLASSY CURSIVE FONT, AND HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THE NAME "HYDRAULICA"? THE PADDLE STYLE ORANGE SWEEP HAND REALLY ADDS A NICE POP TO THIS OTHERWISE NO-NONSENSE TOOL DIAL. THE INTERNAL BEZEL IS A GORGEOUS MATTE BLACK WITH PROMINENT WHITE MARKINGS. BEZEL ROTATES WITH THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF FRICTION.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS DIVER RUNS ON A HIGH GRADE 23 JEWEL ETA 2452 AUTOMATIC WHICH IS SUPER CLEAN AND KEEPING GREAT TIME. THIS ONE HAS JUST RETURNED FROM THE WATCHMAKER WITH A FULL SERVICE.
- WATCH COMES ON A SUPPLE NOS SWISS TROPIC BIG HOLE DIVE STRAP WHICH REALLY BRINGS THIS ONE UP A FEW NOTCHES. SUPER COMPRESSOR DIVERS PRODUCED WITH CASES MADE BY EPSA ARE BECOMING VERY PRICEY AND HARD TO FIND. THIS ONE IS SPECIAL AND HAS A TON OF CHARACTER AND PATINA IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES.
