·For sale:
Zodiac Sea-Chron
Diameter: 39mm crown excluded
1960s
Head only, lugsize is 20mm
Worldwide shipping through UPS and with Secursus insurance - the watch is in Belgium
Valjoux manual wind chronograph cal. 72
Price: EUR 2.690 net to me
Gorgeous Sea-Chron in barn find condition. The 20atm full steel case is unpolished with sharp chamfers. There is a more noticeable nick on the lower right lug. Screwed caseback is nice and clean. Crown and pushers are original and excellent. Glass is original with light scratches. Nothing that cannot be polished out - I did not do it to conserve the pure as found condition. The bezel is in really nice condition with a more noticeable nick between 10 and 11. It has the original tritium pip (very rare). It turns nicely with just the perfect balance of tightness. The dial is in excellent condition - I have yet to find a better example on the market. Nice matte black paint, crisp white text and subdials, gorgeous vanilla tritium. My trained eye only spots some dust particles. Hands are excellent. Service history is unknown, but it runs great, keeps time, and the chronograph functions as should. Timegrapher values are excellent (see picture). The only thing to note is that winding is slightly heavy and takes a bit more effort - probably due to a degraded rubber sealing ring (30 seconds fix by a watchmaker).
