| Ref. ST 145.0023
was launched in 1970. One of two watches in the durable metal collection, this watch has had its bezel
bombarded with a coating of tungsten, which is a hard, scratch-resistant metal. The movement in these
watches is “suspended” in a separate container within the case between two o-rings, to afford maximum
shock protection. This reference is called the “Anakin Skywalker” by collectors. For a further note, see the
next lot.
Cal. 861
was create in 1968. It was formerly called “27 CHRO C12” and used on second generation “moon
watches”. |
