Master Memovox Blue 60th Anniversary

In Context

At 40 mm it is sized to the current mainstream: 40 mm is the median across every watch measured in this catalogue. At 14.1 mm it is a tall case, and it will catch on a cuff. The case back is closed, so the movement stays out of sight, and the sapphire crystal will resist everything short of deliberate abuse. 50 m covers rain and hand-washing comfortably; it is not a watch to swim in.

The movement winds itself from the motion of your wrist. 45 hours of reserve carries it overnight, but not through a weekend in a drawer. At 28,800 vph the seconds hand advances 8 times a second.

141848J stands on its own in this catalogue — no other reference here shares its base number. It pairs a blue sunburst dial with a stainless steel case. It was a limited edition.

'Memovox' mechanical automatic winding movement, 268 parts, 28,800 vibrations per hour, 45-hour power-reserve. Indications: hour, minute, seconds, date, alarm.
