Scan Day: Respected Rivals Posted By: jeff stein Date: 4/28/06 06:18 GMT
we have previously done the Rivals / Competitors scan day (March 2005), but today's discussion of the Autavias and Speedmasters made me think that we could visit this topic again.
so show us the Respected Rivals . . . watches that might have battled for sales / respect / leadership, but would have respected each others strengths and differences.
here we see an Autavia from around 1965 and a Speedmaster from 1969. looking only at their elements (hands, registers, bezels, etc.), they seeme to have little in common. they share the same essence, however -- manual wind, three register chronographs from the 1960's . . . perhaps the ultimate "tool" / purpose-built watches.
Jeff Jeff, I'm going to be lazy today and recycle four of my posts from last time around: |
Mid-1960's:Seamaster L.321 Vs. Carrera V.72:
Mid/Late 1960's: Autavia v.72 Vs. Speedmaster c.321: Early 1970's: Seamaster c.861 Vs. Autavia v.7736: Late 1970's/Early 1980's: Lemania 5100> Carrera Vs. Speedmaster: All are comparable watches in terms of movement and market segment. The similarities and differences are interesting to compare and contrast...
