Watch: Gents 1960s Technos Star Chief Day Date Wrist Watch

The watch has a signed 25-jewel automatic movement which is working nicely. The watch measures 36mm wide excluding the winding crown and 35mm high excluding the lugs. The case is stainless steel and it is in good condition, just a couple of scratches where someone has removed the back in the past, and general light surface marks, nothing serious at all. The case back and winding crown are signed. The case back states that the watch is waterproof but, as with any vintage watch, it should be kept away from water and moisture. The lens is in good condition. The signed dial is in its original finish with original hands, centre seconds sweep and day / date display. The day is set by winding the hands forwards and the date is set by repeatedly moving the hands backwards and forwards between 12 midnight and 8pm until the desired date is reached. A new leather strap has been fitted. The watch comes in a new presentation box. All prices include UK postage (excluding Northern Ireland). Please contact us regarding international shipping costs.
