IAXA - Hydro-Polyp Automatic - ETA 2879 – Oversize - No...

Swiss-made IAXA Hydro-Polyp Automatic dating back to the early 1970s, powered by the proven ETA 2879 calibre, one of the most reliable and highly regarded Swiss automatic movements of its era. The watch stands out for its generously sized 39 mm oversize case, an exceptionally large diameter for the 1970s. The case features a distinctive satin-brushed side finish combined with a polished bezel, a characteristic design element of the period. The refined black dial is enhanced by elegant applied gold-tone hour markers.
