COMING AT YOU IS THIS ULTRA CHIC 70s TRADITION BY SEARS ROEBUCK SELF-WINDING ALARM DAY/DATE.
-
CASE: CHUNKY ALL-STEEL CUSHION CASE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS BEAUTY MEASURES A RESPECTABLE 35.5mm ACROSS CASE NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CROWNS BY 41mm LUG TO LUG. I LOVE SOME OF THE SUBTLE DESIGN TOUCHES ON THIS LIKE THOSE CHAMFERS THAT RUN ALL ALONG BOTH SIDES OF THE WATCH.
-
DIAL: THIS VERTICALLY BRUSHED METALLIC PURPLISH BLUE DIAL IS A TOTAL BABE. CHECK OUT THAT GORGEOUS PATINA ON THAT DIAL THAT HAS RESULTED IN A GOLDEN STARRY NIGHT EFFECT SEEN THROUGHOUT. THIS THING REALLY SPARKS UP IN DIRECT SUN. I LOVE THOSE TALL APPLIED STEEL/WHITE MARKERS WHICH ADD SOME NICE DEPTH TO THE DIAL. RED ACCENTS CAN BE SEEN ON THE MINUTE TRACK ON THE DIAL AS WELL AS THAT ALARM HAND. I LOVE THOSE SANDWICH STYLE STICK HANDS WITH THAT SUBTLE TOUCH OF BLUE. THIS DIAL IS A REAL LOOKER.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS FUNKY CHICKEN IS POWERED BY THE LEGENDARY A.SCHILD 17J SWISS MADE CAL. 5008 ALARM MOVEMENT. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME. SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN BUT WATCH HAS BEEN BEHAVING AMAZINGLY FOR WEEKS OF ON/OFF WRIST OBSERVATION. DAY/DATE ARE BOTH QUICKSET AND DAY CAN BE SET FOR ENGLISH OR SPANISH. THESE MOVEMENTS REALLY PACK A LOT OF FEATURES SUCH AS A HI BEAT 28800 BPH RATE, HACKING, AND THE SELF-WINDING MECHANISM ALSO WINDS THE ALARM POWER RESERVE. AN INNOVATIVE DESIGN FOR THE TIME AND EVEN FOR NOW.
- THIS TRADITION IS MOUNTED ON ITS ORIGINAL SOLID STEEL BRICK BRACELET WHICH CAN ACCOMODATE A 6.8" WRIST COMFORTABLY. I'M INCLUDING THE BROWN SUEDE RALLYE STRAP SHOWN AS WELL, FOR THOSE OUT THERE WHO MAY HAVE A LARGER WRIST. THIS IS REALLY A SUPER COOL PIECE WITH A TON OF COMPLICATIONS PACKED INTO IT. I LOVE THAT STARRY NIGHT BLUE DIAL AND THAT FUNKY CASE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A GREAT ALL ROUNDER VINTAGE PIECE.
