Vintage La Cloche Quartz Diver Watch w/Aged Blue Dial,EB 870.111 FOR PARTS ONLY

Description: ***********FOR PARTS ONLY - The EB 870.111 quartz movement does not run after installing a new battery. It's likely the movement will need to be replaced. The time can be set without issue and the date wheel completes rolling over at approximately 4:45 am. This is a restoration project.***********This seldom seen vintage 1970's La Cloche diver has a lovely aged blue "T SWISS MADE T" signed dial and the original lume, which no longer glows after being exposed to bright light, has aged gracefully. As most clearly seen in picture 9 the minute and hour hand lume shows cracking. The black bezel, which rotates bidirectionally with an appropriate amount of tension, presents nicely. The chrome-plated case shows honest wear with signs of brassing, most notably on the back of the top right lug. The outer edge of the case back is stamped "STAINLESS STEEL BACK - WATERRESISTANT - 5 ATM SINGLE TESTED - BASE METAL BEZEL" with "ECONOMIC" followed by "SWISS TIME LTD" and "1651" stamped in the center. The inside of the case back is stamped "ECONOMIC SWISS TIME MFG" followed by "SWISS." The crystal shows scratching. The 0 jewels unadjusted EB 870.111 quartz movement does not run after installing a new battery. It's likely the movement will need to be replaced.

This watch measures approximately 37 mm excluding the crown, approximately 39 mm including the crown and approximately 20 mm between the lugs.

Given that the movement does not run and likely needs to be replaced a restoration is required. As such there are no warranties, express or implied, attached with the sale of this watch.
