There was a review of a homage to this Milus Archimedes that was issue in June. Online magazine.


The critique centered on the features that is Essential to what made it worthwhile to actually make a homage.

Crazy

I wish the reviewer actually saw the original.

If not, here’s his chance.

Yes, Virginia, the hands( all three) makes the look on this diver.( and a few other watches from this era!)

Well played sir! Well played indeed!!!

Montgomery Ward/Legant world timer... A survivor, may be even an unsung hero from the quartz crisis era... Every corner that could be cut, has been... Chrome case, basic 7 jewel movement, no frills dial etc. But - it's automatic, and does its job very well in its sixth decade of existence

Very special piece today. This TAG-Heuer was the first watch my father gave me, a birthday gift when I was 15. I never knew this about him until after he passed (in 2009), but apparently he was very interested in watches, and used to frequently buy them as gifts for friends and colleagues. That's him in the background, 2nd Armored Division, Combat Command B, taken during their drive across France, Belgium and Germany as "the tip of the spear."

This watch was thought lost, then found, and has since followed me from Prague-->Vienna-->Georgia-->Mississippi-->Virginia--> northern Canada-->Nottingham and finally, back home to London, where I was born. Just got a new movement, courtesy of the peerless Brendan Hoey, and it's once again "fit for duty."

Thanks, dad, for everything--as promised, I've kept it safe and running strong.
