I am offering for sale for sale is this beautifully preserved (almost perfect) vintage watch from Swiss brand Technos, featuring a sporty 1970s look with a stunning blue dial, a faceted crystal and its sophisticated original integrated stainless steel bracelet that, when hit by the right light, produces gorgeous gemstone-like reflections.

Details:
► Tonneau-shaped stainless steel case with a sunburst finish in impeccable condition, a polished bevel as well as a polished bezel, in its original, unaltered condition with minimal signs of wear (sharp edges, very slight superficial signs of use)
► Blue sunburst dial with applied block hour markers and logos and fully intact luminous material
► Original handset, also with fully intact (and still slightly luminescent) lume
► Non-screwed crown with manufacturer's logo
► Case back with clearly legible engravings and the central Technos emblem (often missing on other examples)
► Faceted mineral glass in nearly perfect condition (with two minimal cuts – barely visible to the naked eye – near the upper logo and along the edge of the glass at 6 o’clock), featuring a central flat surface and a total of 8 additional slanted surfaces that give the watch its distinctive appearance, with an etched Technos logo in the centre
► Robust, high-beat (28,800 bph) Swiss ETA 2824 automatic movement (in its premium version with 25 jewels and eccentric fine adjustment) featuring a date display and hacking second function; the movement starts and runs smoothly and keeps time with a deviation of approx. 10 seconds per day (measured laid down, service history unknown); the date mechanism and quick date adjustment also work flawlessly
► High-quality, integrated original stainless steel bracelet with brushed and polished surfaces that create an elegant look when the light hits it, and a brushed clasp featuring the brand logo; long enough for a wrist circumference of more than 20cm; one strap link has a scratch, and the corresponding pin does not seem to engage on one side (see photo below); although the strap link is still firmly in place, a professional or experienced tinkerer should address this (given the ample strap length, the entire affected link could, for example, be professionally removed; even after removing two entire links, the bracelet would still fit wrists with a circumference of approximately 19cm)
► Period-correct Technos box (labelled “Lady,” though it’s in a standard men’s size) with outer cardbox and instruction manual

Dimensions:
► Diameter: approx. 35mm without crown
► Lug-to-lug: approx. 40mm
► Height: approx. 12.5mm

Price:
I am asking EUR 310,- (already taking into account the slight bracelet defect) plus international insured shipping according to destination.

And now for the pictures:

Advertisement from approx. 1971:

The watch is located in Austria (EU) and so am I. I do have plenty of international references from various watch enthusiasts (also known here), so please feel free to ask for them.

Just for the records: I am a private collector and, therefore, the watch comes without any personal guarantee given by me. Nevertheless, I am offering to give a full refund less fully insured shipping expenses in case the piece sold would not be as described by me (within an inspection period of three days and to buyers from within the EU only due to the complex customs procedure in case of an overseas deal).

Thanks for reading and thanks to the Chronotrader platform and its host!
