Why We Love It
For many wristwatch collectors, the name that is printed on the dial is where they begin assessing the value of a watch. But at analog/shift, we believe that there is much more to consider.
This Sicura diver from the 1970s features a 41mm cushion style case which was commonly used in the decade. An exotic bi-sectional dial is composed of silver, black, and grey with orange detailing throughout. In the metal, the silver section is sunburst, a term used to describe certain dials that shimmer in certain lighting conditions. The neon orange accenting on the hour offer a sharp, sporty contrast.
The design of the seconds hand is straight up cool, and filled with tritium. Overall, the condition is superb and shows little signs of wear. A true sign that the previous owner handled it with extreme care.
Fortunately, some will recognize that these less known watches offer an incredible opportunity to own a quality watch at a fraction of the price.
