·This is my second Technos Sky Diver, and it doesn't seem that any two are quite the same! It is in the same vein as the Polerouter Sub and Titus Calypsomatic. While this example isn't perfect, it has a lot going for it.
Case: 38mm Brevet stainless still with screwback that has been polished and worn, but is still thick and even. This is almost identical to the 2nd Gen Polerouter Sub. Original finish was brushed tops of lugs with polished sides.
Dial: Nice overall condition glossy silver gilt with applied numerals. There are small areas (as pictured) especially around 7 o'clock with slight bubbling in the lacquer, and a small 1mm scratch at the 7 o'clock marker. The markers show very slight oxidation and tritium lume has present with mellow patina.
Bezel: Original aluminum insert in very nice condition with tritium lume indentation. There were a bunch of different variations, and I don't know which one this is. but it is identical to the last Sky Diver I owned.
Hands/Crown/Crystal: Hands are original and in nice condition, same as markers; the sweep hand is unique in that it is painted red in the center. Crown is signed Technos. Crystal appears to be a replacement as it doesn't have the cyclops.
Movement: ETA signed Technos that is keeping excellent time, service history unknown.
Overall, a very nice example of a watch that is gaining in popularity. Please feel free to DM or EM watchknut AT gmail.com for more info.
Asking $1,050 Shipped in the CONUS, intl buyers pay extra for FedEx ParcelPro.
