Key Features
This digi-mech is far from the sort of watch that you’re used to seeing! It comes from 70’s ‘electronic/digital’ era, when classical mechanical brands were competing with electronic watches and developing these kind of mechanical timepieces with digital display complications.
Fun fact – 99% of those advanced electronic digital watches are now dead and non-repairable, due to the degradation of the integrated electronic components. However, the horological digi-mech creations are still alive and running, and with regular servicing will continue to be and to do so for 100+ years.
The case shape and 36 mm size has a satisfying feel, while the deep-blue (almost black) tone dial looks darkly sophisticated.. while simultaneously cool and retro. The dark blue genuine leather strap nicely matches the dial. With a great quality French movement, this watch is a reliable timekeeper and an attractive accessory.
