We love its “Jetsons” aesthetic; how the 60s\/70s imagined the future to be (but instead we got Trump and Tinder). Wears with a bold wrist presence and a retro-futuristic, architectural feel. We even get some Darth Maul vibes from the dial. Shaped, sculptural watches are in vogue now but it’s not a new thing, it’s just a return. A well preserved example from the prolific Admiral line with a high-beat calibre from the landmark Ultra-Chron series. Performs with amazing precision, even today. A solid piece to add to your collection, with the rich evocative feel of a world on the cusp of the funky 70s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCONDITION:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e8.5\/10, with light, visible signs of use. Appears unpolished. Brushing and sharp case lines remain. Overall clean crystal and dial with some tiny specks that show up under intense light. Clean indices. Tritium lume plots intact with creamy patina (small age spots on the hands). Aftermarket strap and deployant have signs of wear but are robust with plenty of use remaining.
