FOR SALE IS A SPORTY MINT CONDITION 70s ELOGA FLIPPER DIVER WITH A LIGHTWEIGHT FIBER GLASS CASE. THIS ONE IS A FABULOUS FULL SET WITH ORIGINAL STRAP, BOX, PAPERS, AND 3 BEZELS FOR SWAPPING OUT.
- CASE: LIGHT WEIGHT FIBERGLASS CASE MEASURING A NICE 37mm ACROSS CASE NOT COUNTING ORIGINAL CROWN. THE 3 INTERCHANGEABLE ROTATING BEZELS IS A NICE TOUCH. YOU CAN CHANGE FROM THE BLACK GMT 24 HOUR BEZEL TO THE RED PULSATIONS AND THEN POP ON THE TACHY BEZEL TO MAKE THIS A BIT MORE RACY!!!
- DIAL: REALLY STUNNING MATTE BLACK DIAL IN MINTY SHAPE. THIS ONE HAS A A HIGHLY LEGIBLE SETUP WITH THOSE WHITE/BLACK TOWERING MARKERS AND WHITE STICK HAND SET WHICH REALLY POP AGAINST THAT BLACK DIAL. ALL THE LUME PLOTS ARE FULLY INTACT AND THE AGED TRITIUM MATCHES NICELY FROM DIAL TO HANDSET.
- MOVEMENT: THIS FUN PARTY ANIMAL RUNS ON A 17J A.SCHILD SWISS MANUAL WINDER. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN. WATCH HAS BEEN WINDING SMOOTHLY, KEEPING GOOD TIME, AND DATE FLIPS APPROPIATELY. I DID HAVE MY WATCHMAKER CHECK THIS OUT AND DO SOME MINOR REGULATING. THIS ONE IS A STRONG RUNNER.
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON ITS ORIGINAL FLIPPER RUBBER STRAP WHICH LOOKS REALLY TACTICAL AND TOUGH ON THIS GUY. IN THE LATE 60s, YOU SAW A HANDFUL OF SWISS COMPANIES PUT OUT SIMILAR WATCHES WITH THESE COMPOSITE FIBERGLASS CASES AND INTERCHANGEABLE BEZELS. TISSOT HAD THE "CAROUSEL" LINE, AND A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT COMPANIES(SUCH AS FORTIS AND THIS ELOGA) USED THE FLIPPER MONIKER. THESE ARE SO MUCH FUN BECAUSE YOU CAN SWAP OUT THE BEZELS EASILY AND CHANGE THE LOOK AND FUNCTION OF THESE ON THE FLY. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE COLLECTOR'S SET WITH ALL THE GOODIES: BOX, PAPERS, AND THE 3 INCLUDED BEZELS.
