Beautiful and increasingly hard-to-find vintage Gigandet automatic from the 1970s, powered by the reliable Swiss ETA 2783 automatic movement (25 jewels, Incabloc).
What immediately sets this piece apart is the stunning deep blue sunburst dial combined with the striking orange seconds hand — a perfect example of the bold and elegant design language of the 1970s. Paired with the new rally-style leather strap featuring orange contrast stitching, the watch has a fantastic vintage racing/sports aesthetic while fully preserving its authentic character.
The movement has recently received a full professional service:
Fully disassembled
Ultrasonically cleaned
Freshly lubricated
Carefully regulated
The watch runs well, winds smoothly, and the date changes correctly.
