FS: Technos Blue Sky, green dial vintage, full set, NOS

I am offering for sale this perfectly preserved and truly exceptional time capsule set: A NOS (new old stock) vintage watch (model ‘Blue Sky’) from Swiss brand Technos featuring a lovely green dial, a faceted crystal, the original integrated stainless steel bracelet, a box with outer cardboard box, hangtag and papers – ideal for vintage enthusiasts and collectors of eye-catching designs and complete sets who insist on perfect condition.

Details:
► Tonneau-shaped stainless steel case with a perfect radial finish on the front and polished sides all around, as well as a polished bezel, in original, unworn condition (sharp edges, no damage)
► Spectacular green dial that shimmers in the light, striking applied block hour markers with beautifully reflective surfaces and applied logos, no luminescent material (which makes it less susceptible to age-related damage in the long term)
► Original set of hands (also without luminous material)
► Non-screwed crown bearing the manufacturer’s logo
► Caseback with perfectly legible embossing and the protective sticker still in place
► Fascinating, partly curved and faceted mineral crystal with a total of 5 distinct surfaces, further enhancing the watch’s high-quality appearance
► Workhorse Swiss ETA 2783 automatic movement with date display; starts and runs smoothly keeping time with a deviation of less than 15s/d (measured laid down, service history unknown – but I assume there simply is none); the date changes at midnight and the quick-set date mechanism also works flawlessly
► Integrated brushed original stainless steel bracelet, which tapers sharply from 24mm at the case to 16mm at the clasp, featuring a brushed clasp with the brand logo (and ‘Technos’ signature on the inside); suitable for wrists up to over 19cm and very comfortable on the wrist as it literally moulds to the shape thanks to its fine links
► Original Technos box with retaining clip and outer cardboard box, as well as a hangtag and instruction manual (in Japanese), complete with an unused, pre-stamped warranty card

Dimensions:
► Diameter: approx. 37mm without crown, approx. 38.5mm with crown
► Lug-to-lug: approx. approx. 40.5mm
► Height: approx. 11.5mm
► Lug width: 18mm

Price:
For this extraordinary and undoubtedly rare set I am asking EUR 450,- 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
