Original Description:
This is a very unusual Swiss watch, designed by Italian designer Remo Bertolucci. This is an officially certified Chronometer, running on the high-end ETA 2892-A2 certified Chronometer (28, 800 bph) movement, housed in a 300M water rated case (manufacturers claim). The watch has a slinky adjustable bracelet, and is one of the most comfortable bracelets you can find. Remo's inspiration for the shape of the links and watch case were river stones, rounded by water over time. The watch has... 1 extra link, but is shown on my 7.25" 184mm wrist, without the extra link installed. This is a full sized 40mm watch, not the smaller "mid-sized" models (not the 37 or 34mm), and has the first generation rounded bracelet center links, not the later "flat ones". The factory claimed it took 8 hours to finish the bracelet alone. This watch comfort is all about the amazing bracelet.  The watch has a unidirectional rotating diving bezel... perfect for diving, even desk diving!

The watch dimensions are 40mm dia, 11.5mm thick (not including cyclops lens), and 46mm lug to lug. This would easily fit a wrist smaller than my 7.25" one. The watch is running well, and has had light rotation with other watches in my collection. This is an all original, stock watch that as never been polished, or refinished. You rarely see one of these in this excellent condition. I would consider this watch and bracelet as being "near mint condition", with no dings, scratches, or other defects... the bracelet has never been removed, the lugs are minty as well. Sorry, no original box or papers... I lost them when I moved many years ago.

In a world of watches that all seem to look the same, or are really huge, this is a nice find at a practical 40mm. It is very slim and easily fits under a dress cuff. This Swiss watch (made in Neuchatel, Switzerland) does draw attention due to the unique Italian design and high level of finishing. The supple bracelet wears nice... super comfortable. This is a high end stainless steel sports watch.

When this watch was bought new, it was close to the same price as a "Submariner", but wears like a much nicer watch due to the slinky bracelet. Why pay 10k (plus) to own the other, more common Swiss brand, when this is rarer, more stylish, and a lot more comfortable on the wrist. I have owned Subs, and this is far more comfortable & cooler in the summer. It is a real sleeper, most do not know of this excellent brand, it is not "mass produced" like some Swiss watches... when this watch was made the company only had around 35 employees at the time this watch was made, all their watches were hand made in relatively small numbers.

I am not a watch dealer, nor a "flipper". I buy watches to wear them, and treat them gently, as an owner would. I may consider a reasonable offer, from the right buyer.

Domestic sales only... it will be shipped USPS Priority to your home address, adult signature required.
