Lot Essay

The present timepiece is offered in 'Like New' condition

Tantalum is a rare metal whose color is unlike any other. It is little used in horology because it is extremely difficult to work with. Requiring very high temperatures imposed upon it in order for it to be molded and used to ones specifications, once it has been carefully adapted it is extremely durable and ultra resistant to corrosion. The gun metal color of this watch alongside the highly reflective bright blue dial makes for a very attractive combination. Furthermore, the present watch is offered in excellent overall condition.
