The Watch
Here we have a 2017 Pinion 1969 Revival Custom No Date Dial limited to 100 pieces; this is number 69. A 43mm stainless steel case has elegantly shaped lugs with pushers and a signed crown down the right side, a lug-to-lug length of 53mm and a case thickness of 14mm give the watch an impressive wrist presence. "SuperDome" double bezel and convex sapphire crystal cover the all-black dial; this dial is custom-made as it has no date at 6 o’clock; this is the only one they made. Around the outside we have an outer minute track, applied numerals and indexes are highly polished, sub-dials for the 60 seconds at 9 o’clock and 30 minutes at 3 o’clock are encircled with a blue band, adding interest to the multidimensional dial and baton’s hands are lumed with the Chronograph seconds hand in the centre. The new old stock Valjoux 7734 can be seen through the smoked sapphire crystal, 17 jewels beating at a leisurely 18,000 beats per hour. The watch comes paired with its original 22mm Pinion-signed leather strap and a Pinion-signed buckle, and the watch also comes with one spare 22mm Pinion strap and a signed pin buckle. The watch also comes with its Pinion presentation box and paperwork, including a 2023 Pinion Service.
Personal Note
I was fortunate enough to have sold this watch in late 2022 from the original owner to the lucky new owner who then had it serviced and polished with Pinion, the watch has been lightly worn since and now has made its way back to me again to find another lucky owner, I do love it when a watch continues its journey through me! This 1969 Revival Chronograph features, what was, a NOS Valjoux 7734 visible behind a smoked case back crystal and this exact model was unique due to the request for a no-date dial as you can see on the watch. I would not hesitate to add this wonderful watch to your collection today!
