Background
- A very 70s Swiss chronograph with a 17 jewel pin-lever EB 8420-74 chronograph movement (same movement used by Heuer, Leoniadas, Sicura, Sorna, et al... in affordable 70s chronos).
- Find out more about the EB 8420-74 here.
- It's funkier and better provenanced cousins seem to command some high asking prices (Jacky Ickx Easy-Riders).
- Running well on bench and wrist, keeping good time and chrono works as expected.
- By my guess, someone has been in it semi-recently due to the case back gasket still having gasket silicone on it.
- Chrono pushers:
- Bottom = start/stop (doesn't restart, a one-and-done movement).
- Top = reset (can be pressed to "reset and stop")
- 10'o'clock subdial is a 15 min register for the chrono; clock seconds at 6'o'clock.
- This is branded a "Splendid" by "ILONA Ltd" (which I'm sure had centuries of Swiss watching-making heritage).
- Bi-directional bezel rotates freely.
- The strap is a Montreux FKM (and if you don't want it, take $50 off the price).
- This is an "oopsie" auction find that I tossed a bid on and won; not a keeper for me.
Price & Logistics:
Offered at a negotiable price or trade for something interesting.
$300 + shipping
(Take $50 off if you don't want the strap)
Payment by etransfer or cash.
Happy to ship at buyer's expense using Flagship (or Canada Post, if that exists), tracked and full value insured. Will consider F2F in specific parts of Toronto (schlepping around this place is a PITA).
CWC feedback here and I've sold 50+ watches and parts on eBay with 100% positive feedback.
