Its stainless steel case, measuring approximately 38.5 mm in width, boasts substantial proportions for the early 1970s; thanks to its broad surfaces and distinctive geometry, the watch commands a much stronger presence on the wrist than a typical classic dress watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e**IMPORTANT NOTE: As this item ships from within the European Union, you will not be liable for customs duties within the EU.**\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe model’s true character is defined by its dark blue dial. A sunburst pattern radiating from the center shifts from navy to more vibrant blue tones depending on the angle of the light, while fine radial lines around the periphery add depth to the surface. Gold-toned, raised, and faceted applied indices stand out prominently against this dark backdrop. Matching hands, a gold-framed date window at the 3 o'clock position, and the \"SILVERHORN\" inscription accompanied by a double-star detail above the 6 o'clock marker clearly showcase the watch's 1970s aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside beats an automatic movement signed \"Edox 1143,\" based on the ETA 2783 caliber. The \"21 JEWELS SWISS\" marking on the rotor confirms that this specific unit is the 21-jewel version. Operating at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour (A\/h), the movement supports manual winding and quick-set date functionality in addition to automatic winding. The fact that the ETA 2783 was in use starting in 1969 aligns perfectly with the Silverhorn's early 1970s dating. The number \"200243\" on the case back is a model\/case reference, not a serial number. The \"STAINLESS STEEL,\" \"WATER-RESISTANT,\" and \"SHOCK-RESISTANT\" markings on the case back reflect the standards of the era; today, these do not imply a guarantee of water resistance without undergoing a modern pressure test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch's period-correct integrity is complemented by the Edox-signed metal bracelet and clasp, the period-appropriate Edox box shown in the photos, and the Japanese sales tag marked ¥26,000. The blue traces visible on the case back do not originate from the steel surface itself but are residues of the protective film\/coating that has aged over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinal Word\u003cbr\u003eThe strength of the Silverhorn lies not in a single detail, but in the combination of its substantial 38.5mm case, deep blue dial, gold-tone three-dimensional indices, 21-jewel Swiss movement, and the original ¥26,000 tag that still tells the watch's story. This is a memorable Edox timepiece that exemplifies the creative freedom of Swiss watch design in the early 1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe item shown here was manufactured in 1970.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePROFESSIONALLY FULLY SERVICED.\u003cbr\u003eThe movement was completely disassembled; every part was cleaned, lubricated, and precision-adjusted to ensure flawless operation.
