Black with red date is the rarest of the rare. Estimated less than 500 total of these were ever made.  ____________________________________ Later, Gary Remember we are the caretakers of mechanical art.....

Oh boy, so this one is extra special then Gary !!!  ..You know, just learning the story behind the watch is great if you ask me sir. Honestly, have heard that name Cortina, and never known what it was exactly !  Then the rare factor, and design is out of this world awesome ! ..It's near extraterrestrial, but classic !!! Love the angles, sleekness, finish, crowns, and Roman numerals. This one's unforgettable G ! Amazing !!!  On a streak with this Victorinox chronograph here...    ____________________________________  | |

 Yowza Darius, what a gorgeous watch !!!  No matter what beautiful angle is seen of this one, you are just left speechless really. Could be the fantastic design of the bezel, case, or bracelet ! ..Could be the actual finish itself. Or unbelievable blue dial with it's fleet of textures, markings, and numbers ! It's all remarkable !!!  Honestly is a watch that you love more, and more the more you see it.  Really is so cool ! Outstanding D !!! ____________________________________ | |
