Key Features
This Clyda digi-mech is far from the sort of watch that you’re used to seeing, this piece comes from the 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 do so for 100+ years.
This particular watch has undergone a full case renewal, with a brand new 1.0 – 1.5 micron-thick gold plating, giving it a beautiful gold lustre that has to be seen in person! We recommend that you avoid wearing in hot weather or exotic countries as this can wear away the gold plating, it’s better suited for collections or special occasions.
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.
