COMING AT YOU IS THIS MEGA FUNKY EARLY 70s GOLANA MULTI-COLOR RALLYE DIVE CHRONO WITH SOME SERIOUSLY BOLD STYLE IN SUPER CLEAN CONDITION.
- CASE: HEFTY SOLID STEEL CASE IN SHARP AND UNPOLISHED CONDITION. THIS BEAUTY MEASURES 36mm ACROSS CASE NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 45.3mm LUG TO LUG. THIS IS THE SAME CASE THAT NIVADA USED IN MANY OF THEIR CHRONOGRAPH MODELS. I LOVE THOSE DISTINCTIVE CHUNKY LUGS AND THOSE INTERESTING CHAMFERS THAT RUN ALONG THE SIDE. THIS WEARS MORE LIKE A 38-39mm PIECE DUE TO THOSE BOXY PROPORTIONS AND THE THIN BEZEL/WIDE DIAL DESIGN. THE STAR-FISH ON THE CASEBACK IS A NICE TOUCH.
- DIAL: THIS VIBRANT MULTI-COLOR DIAL IS A SHOW-STOPPER. POSSIBLY ONE OF THE BEST TACHY SCALES I'VE EVER SEEN WITH THE WHITE/ORANGE/BLUE/YELLOW SEGEMENTS. NICE CLEAN MATTE BLACK DIAL WITH MIRRORED GOLD SUBDIALS. THE CRISP WHITE PRINT REALLY POPS ON THE DIAL. MY FAVORITE PART IS THAT RAD CHECKERED MINUTE TRACK. SO GROOVY. THE CLEAN THIN WHITE/BLACK STICK MARKERS ARE BOLD WITH REALLY NICE PRESERVED TRITIUM THROUGHOUT, AND THAT ORANGE CHRONO SWEEPER TIES IT ALL TOGETHER NEATLY.
- MOVEMENT: THIS SOUL MAN IS POWERED BY A VALJOUX 7734. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT THIS ONE IS A SOLID RUNNER AND ALL CHRONO FUNCTIONS ARE SNAPPY.
- THIS GOLANA IS MOUNTED ON A LUXURIOUS CARAMEL BROWN SADDLE LEATHER STRAP WHICH LOOKS VERY DASHING ON THIS SPORTY CHRONO. THIS IS ONE OF THE MORE PLAYFUL DIALS TO COME OUT OF THE 70s. A HANDFUL OF BRANDS PRODUCED CHRONOS USING THIS IDENTICAL CASE/DIAL COMBO SUCH AS ROYCE AND RODANIA. I'M ALWAYS PRETTY STOKED TO COME ACROSS ONE OF THESE. A REALLY GREAT WEARING PIECE WITH A TON OF 70s SOUL.
