That Tudor is definitively one of my favorites...
... got it some years ago after many years of hunting.
Ci meaning is not known still today though there are several theories.
It was issued in the early 80’s to our Navy tactical divers (UDT teams).
Seconds hand is not correct but I didn’t want to change it as it was found in this condition and with signs of an intense military life.
Not easy to find here in my Country.
Glad you like it!!

Thank you Nicolas!! Glad you agree. In this particular case I feel the wrong hand adds character and makes me wonder about the unknown story behind this timepiece...
... who wore it, who serviced it and why it was necessary to replace that hand, etc..
Abrazos mi amigo! Abel

The seconds hand is all part of its history...
The watches went through many changes during military service and this is an important part of its history.
Great watch Abel.
Absolutely agree dear Captain!! Thank you for your kind comments! Abel [nt]
