The Watch

.

The Technos Sky Diver is widely known as one of the most under appreciated Vintage Divers out there, it's one of those that you don't really take much notice of until you see one in the flesh and fully regret not taking more notice.

.

Technos was born in 1900 and saw its peak during the 1950s to the 1970s. In those decades, the brand made its mark as a reliable maker of tool watches with the Sky Diver being the companies superstar. In 1970, The company was sold to the General Watch Co.

.

The Reference 1903 is powered by a AS1902 automatic calibre with date wheel, housed inside an excellent quality Super Compressor Case. The Dial is glossy black with cool red minute track. The Watch arrives today in all original condition (bar the strap). The crown is correctly crosshatch to signify the Super Compressor case.
