Did you know that Gerald Genta designed early Credor?
Here is one of them.... Clearly it has Genta DNA on the bezel as well as the bracelet structure. Mysterious color reflection. Just the right size for me. The crown top is has the same hexagonal hole as the bezel screws. One thing a bit short of highest pr...
Wow, that is so cool
I didn't know that and it always amazes me all the watch brands that have the footprint of Genta. Thanks for sharing this cool watch. The dial looks like it has a really interesting treatment.
That is Super Cool!
Reminds me of his early Royal Oak prototype drawing. Thanks for sharing this with us Ken :-) S
Ui! What a revelation. This is terrific!
Very interesting!! I like the screws ont eh bezel.... it looks like AP is still coming back to the Genta designs.. it reminds me of the GP RO's! super nice watch. So Genta!!! thanks for the pictures! S
Add the dial to the list of Genta characteristics
The textured surface looks remarkably like the dial of the my Gefica Safari ...
Same hour/second hands too..
Same hour/second hand DNA.. The influence is definitely strong for the hands, the strap, the screws... Such a brilliant master Genta was - there could only be one ...
That's a neat one ........
I wonder if he had anything to do with this. Got this in the late '70s and has a Royal Oak look to it. Bob ...
Yeah, it could be...
... do you know what year it was made? Nice vintage SEIKO and thanks for showing us! Ken
Dear Ken
Do you know how many of these Credor were made? One of my friend is looking for one. Best wishes Alkiro
No clue....
.. but I have seen it on the used market only twice. So, I guess the quantity is really small. I wish your friend luck.....
Many thanks Ken for your answer
Someone on a forum said that a LE of 5000 pieces were made. It seems quite big for a LE but I don\'t know :-/ Best wishes Alkiro
Nah, it's quartz, and priced like, back then, USD1500 or so.
But important thing to remember is that SEIKO paid "fair price" for his design - the more they sell, the more Genta would be paid. So, SEIKO worked with Genta on so many models that, in a way, Genta could establish his own brand thanks to the works with S...
Nice catch! I found some pics of watches that Mr Genta has designed.
One of them looks like your Seiko. Sorry for the bad quality of the pics. Nice table clock ...
