lil' Zodiac Hermetic Field

A friend of mine sent me this watch as a gift. 35...maybe 36mm case, fixed lugs. Runs amazingly well at -10spd with .01 beat error. It had been in a drawer since the 70s.

I did some research in all the standard places and the only example I could find states its from the mid to late forties, but other research on the incaSecurit branding puts it in the mid 50's.

Either way, I though it would look a bit too small on my wrist, but with the NATO giving it a bit of heft, it works.

It is a great looking watch.

Totally agree. The red saves it from looking too dressy, adds a bit of "tool-e-ness".

Great watch. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it, but if it were mine and I intended to wear it, I’d be tempted to have it serviced, but only if you can find a really good watchmaker.

Agreed. I am lucky enough to have a great watchmaker 20 min down the road. Assuming the last service was at least 50 years ago.

It’s beautiful!
