Clinton Skydiver Chronograph: Vintage Rarity with a Touch of Omega Elegance
The Clinton Watch Company, a lesser-known brand in the annals of horology, carved out a niche by producing robust and distinctive timepieces during the mid-20th century. Among their creations, the Clinton Skydiver Chronograph stands out as a particularly rare model. Known for its robust build and unique design elements, such as the broad arrow hands reminiscent of vintage Omega watches, the Skydiver combines functionality with a style that appeals to vintage watch enthusiasts. The oversized 37.5mm case and the use of materials like a Bakelite bezel were ahead of its time, catering to the adventurous and style-conscious individuals of its era. Today, this model is highly collectible, celebrated for its historical charm, mechanical integrity, and the rarity that attracts collectors worldwide.
Key Details To Consider
Discover the allure of vintage excellence with the Clinton Skydiver Chronograph, a highly sought-after collector's piece that remains in its pristine, unpolished state. This watch is a testament to timeless craftsmanship, featuring a beautifully aged exterior that combines a distinctive patina with sharply retained edges reminiscent of its era of creation.
A standout feature of the Skydiver is its broad arrow hands, strikingly similar to those found on vintage Omega watches, enhancing its appeal and historical value. The watch is also equipped with an original Bakelite bezel, which is notable for its excellent condition, free of cracks or discoloration.
The dial, true to vintage form, showcases a delightful patina across its indices, complemented by hands that match in both style and aging. The case measures an impressive 37.5mm, a size that was considered oversized in the 1960s, lending a bold and robust feel to the wrist.
Internally, the movement is robust and accurate, ensuring that the chronograph functions flawlessly. This remarkable timepiece is paired with an 18mm vintage, new old stock (NOS) ostrich leather strap from the 1970s, handcrafted in France, adding an extra layer of vintage charm.
This Clinton Skydiver is more than a timepiece; it's a piece of history, offered in exceptional condition, making it a truly rare and highly collectible watch that will captivate both seasoned collectors and discerning enthusiasts alike.
