FOR YOUR EYES ONLY IS A SEXY 1950s WYLER CLAMSHELL VENUS 170 COLUMN WHEEL CHRONOGRAPH WITH SOME GREAT PATINA
- CASE: CLASSY ALL STEEL CASE IN EXCELLENT AND UNPOLISHED CONDITION. SHE MEASURES A SUBSTANTIAL 36mm NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL SIGNED CROWN. THIS CASE USED THE CLASSIC CLAMSHELL DESIGN WHICH AT THE TIME WAS A MORE ROBUST AND WATER RESISTANT DESIGN THAN THS MORE STANDARD SNAP-ON CASEBACK.
- DIAL: SIMPLY STUNNING. CHECK OUT THE LOVELY PATINA ON THIS GORGEOUS CLASSIC. I LOVE THE VERTICALLY ALIGNED SUBDIALS WHICH GIVE THIS A HANDSOME LOOK. THIS ONE IS A CORNUCOPIA OF WARM CREAMY PATINA WITH POPS OF RED AND BLUE ON THE DIFFERENT SCALES. THIS FACE IS A TOTAL FEAST FOR THE EYES.
- MOVEMENT: THIS CHRONO IS POWERED BY THE FAMED VENUS 170. SUCH A FANTASTIC COLUMN WHEEL DESIGN. THIS ONE HAS BEEN RUNNING STRONG AND KEEPING TIME. CHRONO FUNCTIONS WELL BUT THE MINUTE TOTALIZER SOMETIMES RESETS A MILIMETER TO THE LEFT OF ZERO.
THIS CLAMSHELL CLASSIC IS MOUNTED ON A VINTAGE SPEIDEL ALL STEEL BRACELET WHICH GIVES THIS ONE A SPORTY VIBE. BRACELET CAN ACCOMMODATE UP TO A 7.5” WRIST. IF YOU'RE A VINTAGE CHRONO GEEK OR A PURVEYOR OF SUPER COOL STUFF, THEN YOU NEED THIS WYLER IN YOUR COLLECTION.
