Vintage Gigandet Electronic UFO Watch – End of 60s/Early 70s (ref. 1505)

The Gigandet Electronic UFO is a bold vintage watch combines retro-futuristic design with innovative technology from a transformative era in watchmaking.

Key Features:

  • Case: Striking UFO-shaped stainless steel case, measuring 41mm (excluding crown). The case is in excellent condition, with clean lines that perfectly capture the space-age aesthetics of the late 60s and early 70s. Says Water resistant on the caseback.

  • Dial: A stunning grey dial in pristine condition, accentuated by an electric orange seconds hand for a pop of vibrant color. Includes a clear and functional date display for added utility.

  • Movement: Powered by the ESA Dynastar 9154 transistorized movement, a groundbreaking hybrid technology blending traditional mechanical watchmaking with cutting-edge electronics. This caliber employs a transistor to regulate the balance wheel, bridging the gap between fully mechanical and quartz movements.

  • Condition: Overall excellent, with no major scratches or blemishes.

Performance:

The watch keeps good time, with a recently replaced quartz battery.

Why This Movement Matters:

The ESA Dynastar 9154 represents the evolution of watchmaking during the electronic revolution. These transistorized calibers offered the precision of electronic regulation while retaining the soul of a mechanical balance wheel. They are a testament to Swiss ingenuity and an exciting step in the transition to full quartz technology, making this watch a prized collectible for any vintage enthusiast.
