Story & Heritage The Sully Special reflects an interesting period of Swiss watchmaking when numerous independent brands offered robust mechanical watches built around reliable Swiss movements. This example combines several features that were actively promoted as marks of quality during the period: a 17-jewel mechanical movement, Incabloc shock protection and antimagnetic construction. Incabloc was developed to protect the delicate balance staff against shocks, helping mechanical wristwatches become more suitable for everyday wear. Its deep blue dial gives the watch a particularly attractive period personality. Combined with the applied numerals, luminous accents and contrasting red seconds hand, the design moves away from the more conservative dress watches of earlier decades and anticipates the stronger colors and sportier aesthetic that became increasingly popular during the 1960s and 1970s. A characterful vintage Swiss mechanical watch with appealing period details and an unmistakable retro aesthetic. Internal Reference Number - ABA 82
