What We Fancy

Sigma symbols are often associated with watches produced in the 1970s, to indicate that the hour markers and hands of a watch were made of gold. In this case, white gold & the watch 1974. The Sigma symbol is the two small circles on either side of the tritium sign below six. To add some flare to this specific DJ, the tritium lume has aged to a creamy yellow and is perfectly matching throughout while the silver sunburst dial is as clean as they come.
