FOR SALE IS A TOTALLY SWANKY 1968 ZITURA EPSA CASED SINGLE CROWN COMPRESSOR DRESS DIVER WITH STUNNING GLOSS/GILT DIAL...JUST SERVICED.
-
CASE: CLEAN AND CRISP EPSA SOLID STEEL CASE MEASURING IN AT 36mm NOT INCLUDING ORIGINAL CROSS-HATCH CROWN BY 42mm LUG TO LUG. THIS CASE IS REALLY PHENOMENAL AND REMINISCENT OF THE STYLE USED BY HEUER ON THE CARRERA WITH THE INWARD ANGLED LUGS AND THE HEAVY CHAMFERS. CASE IS IN SHARP UNPOLISHED CONDITION WITH MINOR SIGNS OF WEAR AND HAIRLINE SCRATCHES AND WEAR ON THE CASEBACK....BUT YOU CAN STILL MAKE OUT THE SCUBA DIVER. THE PROPORTIONS ON THIS ONE ARE FANTASTIC. BECAUSE OF THAT THIN BEZEL AND RELATIVELY LARGE DIAMETER, THIS ONE WEARS VERY MODERN.
-
DIAL: NOW HERE'S ONE YOU DON'T RUN ACROSS OFTEN. THIS MIGHT BE THE MOST UNUSUAL DIAL THAT I'VE SEEN. WITH THE INKY GLOSS BACKGROUND, THE LARGE WHITE SMALL-SECONDS SUBDIAL, THE GILT TEXT, THE BLACK TIPPED GOLD HANDS, AND THOSE WHITE/GOLD MARKERS.....THIS THING IS A LOT TO TAKE IN. HOWEVER, IT ALL FLOWS TOGETHER PERFECTLY TO MAKE FOR AN ULTRA SWANK AND VISUALLY IMPACTFUL DIAL. I ESPECIALLY DIG THE DOLPHIN. DIAL IS IN PHENOMENAL SHAPE WITH JUST A HINT OF WEAR TO THE FINISH ALONG THE TOP PERIPHERY.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS WELL MANNERED GENT RUNS ON A CLEAN SWISS 17J A.SCHILD 1130 MANUAL WINDER. WATCH HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY SERVICED AND IS READY FOR ACTION!
I'VE GOT THIS COMPRESSOR MOUNTED ON A BAD-ASS BLACK NOS GENUINE AFRICAN OSTRICH STRAP WHICH CRANKS THE RICO-SUAVE FACTOR UP TO FULL BLAST. I JUST LOVE THE BLENDING OF VINTAGE WATCH GENRES ON THIS ONE. ON ONE HAND, IT'S A MANLY DRESS WATCH WITH SLEEK LINES AND A CLASSY DIAL, AND ON THE OTHER IT'S A SPORTY DIVER CASED IN A COMPRESSOR STEEL BODY. EPSA, WHO MANUFACTURED THE CASE ON THIS ONE, WAS FAMOUS AND HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER IN THE 60s AND 70s FOR THEIR EXTREMELY STURDY SUPER-COMPRESSOR CASES. THIS IS A GORGEOUS ALL PURPOSE VINTAGE WATCH WITH A GREAT LOOK AND AN AWESEOME PEDIGREE.
