Up for grabs is a beautiful 1960s vintage Wittnauer Super Compressor--probably one of the best known ever made. Everything on this watch is original and was just serviced by my watchmaker last month with 2 year warranty left; I have the receipt available for the buyer.
The overall condition of this watch is very mint with beautiful colour to the patina and a clean untouched dial with an unpolished case as well. Bezel ring rotates very smoothly.
Excerpt from Hodinkee:
"Wittnauer, a brand mostly associated with the importation of Longines watches into the U.S., also produced a series of watches including this Super Compressor. The Super Compressor case was designed and developed by Piquerez, and it included two crowns, an inner rotating bezel, and a pressurized gasket and case back mechanism. Many brands utilized the case, including Longines, Universal Genéve, and Enicar. The Wittnauer example you see here features a black patinated dial, cross-hatched crowns with the brand’s signature “W,” and a white minute track."
