FOR SALE IS A SPORTY 70s ROYCE FIBER STAR DIVER WITH WORLD TIME BEZEL AND FUNKY RED DIAL.
-
CASE: LIGHT WEIGHT FIBERGLASS CASE MEASURING A NICE 38mm ACROSS CASE NOT COUNTING ORIGINAL CROWN. THE ROTATING WORLD TIMER BEZEL IS A GROOVY TOUCH.
-
DIAL: REALLY STUNNING SUNBURST RED DIAL IN BEAUTIFUL SHAPE. CHECK OUT THAT BLACK CHAPTER RING WHICH HOUSES THE HEAVILY LUMED HOUR MARKERS. REALLY A COOL 3-D EFFECT. I LOVE THOSE WHITE PLONGEUR STYLE DIVE HANDS WHICH ADD A NICE TOUCH OF LEGIBILITY AND CONTRAST WITH THAT RED DIAL.
-
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.
- WATCH IS MOUNTED ON A HANDSOME TAPERED LEATHER STRAP WHICH LOOKS DAPPER 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 FORTIS THE "FLIPPER". I'VE NEVER RUN ACROSS THIS PARTICULAR MODEL BEFORE, BUT IT DEFINITELY IS AS RETRO AND WILD AS THEY COME.
