Here, we are somewhere between the end of the Sixities ( 1968 ) and the Seventies. This was the end of the Cal 825 Life, which was used in an awesome Memovox, the Ref E E 861 which becomes the Ref E 873 when the same watch will be " motorised " by the Cal...
Thank you for the informative post! The E 875 looks so beautiful and not out of place even today. My favourite is the last one pictured, very very charming. Best, Goh
Ahh, another Monday: - have already been looking forward, Thanks, Nicolas for this nice start into the week ! Very enjoyable pics - I was specifically intrigued by all blues and blue& whites. (well not to forget the unconventional orange in the E871), Ref...
the perfect choice of word. thanks again for sharing. I've grown very fond of unconventionally shaped cases and happily boisterous dials--especially ones originating from the 60s. The ones posted are especially attractive! Don't get me wrong--one should o...

It ain’t over until the fat lady sings. And I hear nothing! You know me? Then you also know I won’t rest until I get some more black memos in my watch box! Best Mr Gr$$dy

I really dig those massive cases from the 70's. One special mention can be said about the e 877, the fact that it uses a supercompressor diving watch case, which was seen on a very very rare diving deep sea alarm jlc of the 70's and one 1000m diving watch...
The Snowdrop case is more round, when the Polaris II case has is more ovale shaped. In both cases, these 2 Memovoxes are much better in real than in pictures. Once on the wrist, you can entirely taste their charm. Best, Nicolas.
