ORIGINAL 1970S RETRO WATCH

TITUS TUNING FORK ELECTRONIC F300Hz REF AG08182

A rare treat for all you electric watch lovers - classic 1970s watch using the latest electronic technology and the cutting edge of its time. This is serious quality and these electronic watches are getting very collectable. The movement is based around Bullova's Accutron system of using a tuning fork that is vibrated by small electro magnets and the vibrations are used as the power source for the watches mechanical movement. Serious collectors out there will notice this is named Titus on the dial but is identical in every respect to a model by Omega. In fact is the same watch but marketed under a different name. It is extremely accurate and allowed Omega to market theirs with a chronometer badge. Swiss made and it really shows with this fantastic build quality, being hewed out of solid stainless steel for the case and bracelet. It is very heavy and you certainly know it is on your wrist. This model is brand new and old stock that has been in storage since the 1970s. Mint with not a single scratch or mark anywhere. Time is shown on a sunken dial in brushed silver with textured (micro pyramid) finish and furnished with smart chrome/black batons and a quick set date. It is running perfectly and holding time (here the classic Accutron humming when you put it to your ear). Fits up to a huge 8" wrist and large dimensions all round on this serious man retro watch.
