Presenting a Striking 1970s Diantus Swiss Mechanical Watch with a Beautiful Linen-Textured Gold Cushion Case and Rare Red-Accent Dial
For your consideration is this exceptionally unique vintage Diantus 17 Jewels, a brilliant Swiss-made mechanical timepiece bursting with 1970s character. Based in Mendrisio, Switzerland, Diantus was known for creating highly stylish watches with excellent Swiss movements, and this particular cushion-case model is a spectacular design statement.
The watch is a visual treat. It features a heavy, gold-toned cushion case highlighted by a gorgeous sunburst linen-textured bezel that catches the light beautifully. The gold sunburst dial is elevated by highly unusual red-striped block indices and matching gold-and-black hands, giving it a subtle racing aesthetic. Flip the watch over, and you are greeted by a beautifully detailed, screw-down stainless steel case back showcasing the brand's iconic engraved carnation emblem and "Electronically Tested" hallmarks.
