Story & Heritage
The appeal of this Technor lies in its distinctive dial and restrained proportions. Fine Arabic numerals sit within a contrasting outer track, while the narrow bezel leaves generous space for the dial.
Its aged brown-grey tones, gold-plated case and slim dark hands give the watch an individual character. Manual winding adds the daily interaction associated with traditional mechanical timepieces.
An interesting vintage piece for collectors who appreciate patinated dials, Arabic numerals and classic mechanical watches.
