FOR SALE IS A MEGA FUNKY EARLY 70s CYMA BY SYNCHRON(DOXA) IN NEAR MINT CONDITION AND ALL ORIGINAL WITH CRAZY TEXTURED BARK DIAL.
- CASE: MONOLITHIC ALL-STEEL ELLIPSOID CASE MEASURING A HEALTHY 42mm NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWN. THIS CASE IS IN VERY SHARP ALL ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH NO SIGNS OF EVER HAVING BEEN POLISHED. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE FINISHING ON THIS ONE. THE CASE SHAPE AND THE WAY IT WEARS IS VERY REMINISCENT OF THE OMEGA DYNAMIC ERGONOMIC DESIGN BEING CREATED AROUND THE SAME TIME.
- DIAL: I'VE NEVER SEEN A DIAL LIKE THIS BEFORE. IT'S REALLY HARD TO CAPTURE IN PHOTOS AS IT NEEDS TO BE SEEN ON THE WRIST IN NATURAL LIGHT. CHECK OUT THAT FINISH: METALLIC GREY TEXTURED BARK DIAL WITH LITTLE SPECKS OF WHITE INTERMINGLED GIVING THIS ONE A SUPER TRIPPY APPEARANCE. I LOVE THOSE TOWERING MARKERS WHICH SIT INSIDE OF THAT SLOPING GREY CHAPTER RING ADDING SOME NICE DEPTH TO THAT ALREADY DEEP DIAL. THE VERTICAL DAY/DATE AT 6 IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE LAYOUTS AND LOOKS REALLY COOL WITH THE OVERALL VIBE OF THIS BEAUTY.
- MOVEMENT: THIS GENTLEMAN RUNS ON A HIGH-GRADE 17JEWEL SYNCHRON 67 WHICH LOOKS TO BE BASED ON AN ETA AUTOMATIC DAY/DATE MOVEMENT. DATE IS QUICKSET ON THIS MODEL BUT THE DAY IS NOT. WATCH RUNS STRONG AND KEEPS GOOD TIME. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS ONE HAS BEEN SERVICED IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS AND IT HAS BEEN RUNNING STRONG FOR ME OBSERVED BOTH ON AND OFF THE WRIST.
WATCH COMES MOUNTED ON ITS ORIGINAL ALL STEEL 20mm HIGHLY TAPERED OYSTER STYLE BRACELET WHICH IS CURRENTLY SIZED FOR MY 6.75" WRIST WITH 5 EXTRA MICRO-ADJUSTS, SO IT SHOULD BE ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE UP TO A 7..75" WRIST. THIS IS A REAL FUN PIECE WHICH HIGHLIGHTS THE OUTLANDISH STYLINGS OF THE 70s. AT THIS TIME, CYMA WAS OWNED BY SYNCHRON(HENCE ALL THE MARKINGS FOR THE BRAND). IN THE 70s, SYNCHRON ALSO OWNED DOXA AND WAS ALSO PUTTING THEIR BRANDING ON THE MOST FAMOUS AND ICONIC DIVERS SUCH AS THE 300-T SHARKHUNTER AND THE AQUALUNG . SO, THERE IS A LOT OF SHARED DNA WITH THIS ONE AND THE CLASSIC DOXA DIVERS BEING PRODUCED AT THE SAME TIME. BUT, IT'S THAT DIAL THAT REALLY MAKES THIS ONE A TOTAL STANDOUT. THIS ONE COMES TO LIFE ON THE WRIST. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING FUNKY AND TOTALLY UNIQUE, YOU GOTTA GRAB THIS ONE.
