Key features
A classic digi-mech design, very similar to the Myon in our catalog. The chrome plated case has slight wear to it, though is still sturdy and shiny, and the patently 1970’s style dial is in perfect condition. Matching the steel-bezelled hour and minute indicators is a small and simple date indicator, which sits neatly in the centre band of colour on the dial. These watches are highly collectible, and we think this is a reasonable price for an opportunity to snag one!
NOTE: It is strictly recommended that you do not move the hour discs backwards, and only move them forwards to avoid any maladjustment of the jump-hour springs.
About Recif
