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 fitted on a Pinion-signed leather strap with a Pinion-signed buckle and also comes with 2 spare Pinion straps and just one extra signed buckle that are virtually unworn, plus a custom-made leather strap. The watch also comes with its Pinion presentation box and paperwork.
Personal Note
Such a great-looking watch and the fact that this dial is a custom without the date complication is great and looks way better in my opinion, this is also the only blue dial version of the R-1969 made without the date. Also great is the fact this is number 69 out of 100 for the 1969 model! This certainly isn't a small watch, but very comfortable thanks to the curved lugs that hug the wrist.
