Luch for Sekonda 23 Jewel "De Luxe" Manual Winding Watch

A Fine quality watch, just returned fron The Ukraine, where a service has been carried out - The 23 jewel Cal 2209 Movement is a unique design, allowing for a thin movement of just 3.0mm but in such a way that it is still sturdy.  Parts of the gear train turn every 40 minutes instead of sixty.  This was all produced at a price that meant that these were affordable to the man in the street – Beware of expensive imitations was the famous Sekonda marketing line.  This example is in 10 micron gold plated, which is good.  The dial is brushed in two different directions, so light is always bouncing off in different ways and keeping the watch interesting. The strap and acrylic crystal are new, a great looking watch .

• This movement type was produced from 1961 to 1979, but only between 1975 and 1979 at the Luch factory, and this particular movement is stamped with their logo.  This has to have been made between ’75 and ’79, .
