Back in time

Back in the days, my granny worked decades for Kienzle Uhren. My wristwatch obsession is her "fault".ย ๐Ÿ˜˜

She and only a handful of other women did the regulation of the "premium" wristwatches.

For years I've been looking at the vintage Kienzle watches but for no reason I've never pulled the trigger.

But I saw this beauty online and HAD TO GET IT!This KIENZLE Superia Diver from the 70s was held in a time capsule!

  • Original brushing and polishing

  • razor sharp edges

  • beautiful faded bezel, from black to a sexy "grey/blue"

  • extra tight bezel action

  • and with +2 seconds a day an awesome accuracy for a 50 years old watch. (I think my grandma did the regulation ... "THANK YOU GRANDMA"ย ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ˜Š)

Thanks for reading Crunch-FAM

Have a nice week everybody

Great colorway of the era. I have a Certina from the 60s with the black and orange combo. Not in as good condition as yours. Love it๐Ÿ‘Œ

I would never take that off my wrist. Beautiful!

Stunning watch! Not seen them before. Thanks for posting!

Love it ๐Ÿ˜

That's a fine looking watch๐Ÿ˜Ž. Kienzle also made the dashboard clocks in Rolls Royce and Bentley back in the day.

What a sweet watch with such a solid family connection too. Until today I hadnโ€™t heard of the brand, but I really dig this watch. The design is so cool!! May have to check one of these out! Cheers!

Awesome, @ch053n0n3 I've been looking for a square-faced watch, and this is super unique. In addition it's a #divewatch makes it all the more beautiful.

Love everything about this. That orange really pops.
