The Watch
Here we have an Unworn Furlan Marri Mare Blu Ref. 1051-A, the 37.5mm polished and brushed stainless steel case gently curves over your wrist ending with elegant rounded and tapered drilled lugs, a lug-to-lug length of 45.5mm and a thickness of 11mm giving the watch an impressive wrist presence. We have chronograph piston pushers with radial pattern caps and a large crown in the centre on the right side, the stepped polished and brushed smooth bezel holds a double domed sapphire crystal with 5 layers of AR coating. A dual-toned blue dial has an outer asthmometer scale (measures the number of respirations per minute) and an inner minute track precisely printed. Applied gold-coloured Hindu Arabic at 12 and 6 and steel baton indexes mark the hours. At 3 o’clock a 24-hour recessed register and at 9 o’clock a small seconds register, the contrast of gold against the blue dial is striking. Elegant-leaf hands have polished edges that catch the light as you rotate your wrist. A fine tapered chronograph hand completes this well-balanced bi-compax dial, the text is minimalist with a “Furlan Marri" motif printed at 12 o’clock. On the reverse, a screw-down case back with an attractive machine turning, inside a Seiko Meca-Quartz. The watch comes fitted on its original 20mm blue leather strap. Inside the box, there is an additional Furlan Marri strap with signed buckles and the watch comes with its Furlan Marri presentation box and papers.
Personal Note
Getting this watch in has definitely made me regret selling my Salmon! The case and design are so perfect, it hugs the wrist and just belongs there. This Mare Blue model we have here will have a lot of "Quartz Snobs" reconsidering their stance! So here's your chance to pick up a brand new unworn example whilst some still exist.
