COMING AT YOU IS THIS MEGA SEXY LATE 60s OLLECH & WAJS NAVICHRON YACHTING CHRONO IN AWESOME CONDITION.
-
CASE: HEFTY SOLID STEEL SKIN-DIVER CASE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS STUD MEASURES A LARGE 38mm ACROSS BEZEL NOT INCLUDING CROWN BY 48mm LUG TO LUG. THIS THNG IS NICE AND SHARP AND CUTS QUITE THE LARGE IMPRESSION ON THE WRIST DUE TO THOSE SQUARED OFF LUGS, THIN BEZEL, AND LONG LUG TO LUG LENGTH. CHECK OUT THAT HANDSOME ROTATING BLACK BAKELITE 12 HOUR TACTICAL BEZEL. NICE BI-DIRECTIONAL ROTATION WITH JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF FRICTION.
-
DIAL: THIS GLOSS BLACK BEAUTY IS SERIOUSLY STUNNING. ALL THE TEXT IS CRISP. LOVELY PATINA ON THOSE LUME PLOTS. THE ALL ORIGINAL HANDS HAVE HELD UP AMAZINGLY OVER TIME WITH JUST A FAINT HINT OF PATINA. THE BEST PART OF THIS DIAL IS THE PINKISH RED YACHTING TIMER IN THE MINUTE TOTALIZER WHICH GIVES THIS OTHERWISE BRUTALIST DUDE A POP OF PIZZAZ. FACTORY CRYSTAL DOES HAVE SOME SCRATCHES AND CRAZING, BUT I DECIDED TO KEEP IT AS-IS TO MAINTAIN ITS ORIGINAL SPECS.
-
MOVEMENT: THIS SEAFARING BEAUTY IS POWERED BY A LANDERON 248. ALL FUNCTIONS WORK PERFECTLY AND WATCH HAS BEEN KEEPING EXCELLENT TIME. HOWEVER, SERVICE HISTORY IS UNKNOWN
- THIS SKIN-DIVER IS MOUNTED ON A TAN LEATHER STRAP WHICH GIVES THIS FELLA A MORE “OFF DUTY” LOOK. OLLECH AND WAJS WAS ONE OF THE FAMOUS SPORTS BRANDS OF THE 60s SUPPLYING PIECES TO MILITARY PERSONNEL AND PX SHOPS AT BASES DURING VIETNAM. THESE HAVE GONE ON TO BECOME CLASSICS AND ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER. THE NAVICHRON IS THE PEFECT MARRIAGE BETWEEN FLIGHT WATCH AND DIVE CHRONOGRAPH WITH A TWIST OF YACHTING TIMER THROWN IN FOR ALL YOU YACHT-ROCKERS OUT THERE!!
