I am offering for sale this beautifully preserved vintage watch from Swiss brand Technos, featuring an outstanding Constellation style dial, its original bracelet and original box – the perfect find for the ambitious vintage collector and fan of complete sets in pristine condition.
Details:
► Stainless steel case with a perfect radial finish, elegantly angled lugs, a polished bevel, polished sides as well as polished bezel; in original condition that shows very little wear (sharp edges, minimal superficial signs of use, a tiny scratch of less than 1mm on the side at approximately 10 o’clock)
► Perfect silver dial with a central twelve-sided sunburst-finished area (aka Constellation style) and a surrounding radial-polished area, with applied block hour markers and logos
► Original handset
► Non-screwed crown with manufacturer’s logo
► Caseback with clearly legible engravings and the central Technos emblem (often missing on other examples), still covered with protective film
► Flawless domed mineral crystal with a beautifully cut bevel
► Robust, high-beat (28,800bph) Swiss ETA 2824 automatic movement (in its premium version with 25 jewels and eccentric fine adjustment) with date display and hacking second function; starts and runs smoothly keeping time with a deviation of approx. 10s/d (measured laid down, service history unknown); the date mechanism and quick date adjustment also work flawlessly
► Continously adjustable, tapered original stainless steel Milanaise-style bracelet with lugs that fit seamlessly and a textured clasp featuring the brand logo; fits even very large wrists and is the ideal choice for hot summer temperatures
► Original Technos box with presentation carriage; broken at the rear hinges, but still perfectly usable for storage and display
Dimensions:
► Diameter: approx. 35mm without crown
► Lug-to-lug: approx. 43mm
► Height: approx. 11mm
► Lug width: 19mm
Price:
I am asking EUR 400,- plus international insured shipping according to destination.
And now for the pictures:
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!
Kind regards,
F.Antl
