In the late 60s and early 70s, Candino celebrated its Golden Anniversary - 25 years - with a special line of futuristic TV-screen \/ UFO saucer cases, a design that defined the early 70s. Now part of the Festina Group, Candino still produces Swiss Made watches today. This Precision UFO model is a perfect example of that era: massive saucer-shaped fluted bezel, deep blue degradé dial with huge bubble markers and a reliable Swiss manual-wind movement - offered here as NOS, unworn, with its original tags and strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCASE:\u003cbr\u003eo Massive UFO \/ saucer cushion-shaped case - huge presence on the wrist - wide fluted bezel with radial brushing\u003cbr\u003eo Construction: Chrome-plated metal case with Stainless Steel snap-on back - as original from factory - engraved \"SWISS - INCABLOC - STAINLESS STEEL BACK - SUPER - WATERRESISTANT - 5ATM - (166 FT) - 328 144\"\u003cbr\u003eo Dimensions: 37.5mm width x 37.5mm lug to lug x 11mm thickness - very bold 70s diver-style size\u003cbr\u003eo Original signed crown at 4 o'clock\u003cbr\u003eo High domed acrylic crystal - NOS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMOVEMENT:\u003cbr\u003eo Swiss Made Manual Wind Caliber ST 974 - 17 Jewels - Date - Marked \"SWISS - SEVENTEEN 17 JEWELS\" - Clean NOS condition\u003cbr\u003eo In working condition - We rarely do service in order to preserve originality as much as possible\u003cbr\u003eo Date can be set between 9 and 12 o'clock by moving hands forward past midnight \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDIAL \u0026amp; HANDS:\u003cbr\u003eo Original untouched deep blue degradé \/ fume dial - lighter center, darker edges - NOS, no repaint\u003cbr\u003eo Applied huge bubble \/ cannonball luminous markers with chrome surrounds, original baton hands with luminous stripe\u003cbr\u003eo Framed date window at 3 o'clock with magnifier effect from crystal - displays \"4\"\u003cbr\u003eo Marked \"CANDINO - SWISS MADE\" - very clean\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBRACELET \/ STRAP:\u003cbr\u003eo Original NOS blue leather strap - never worn - matching the dial perfectly\u003cbr\u003eo Original vintage tags still attached: Red \"SWISS MADE - CANDINO PRECISION\" tag and orange \"Incabloc - Shock-protected\" tag - the ultimate proof of NOS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONCLUSION \/ CONDITION:\u003cbr\u003eA true 70s time capsule!
